6 pitches per at bat. It's a thing of beauty!

Ge that pitch count up there, Max!

We broke the Reds pitching staff forever.

Reds bullpen record continues to tomorrow.

Now to take away Rondon's save opportunity.

Gotta love that the Cubs can throw out their 5th starter and pull some guy out of the stands to play left field and they are winning this game.

I know the game was Monday, but I must get this off of my chest. Ross and Szczur each stole bases on the double steal of 2nd and home, but not only did neither of them get credit for a steal, but Szczur also got charged with a caught stealing even though he scored on the play, and no one was out. Is it scored as a CS because it's believed that an accurate throw would have nailed Szczur at home, and Ross doesn't get credit for the stolen base because if Szczur doesn't go home he's out easily?

I like to think of it has him missing us. Yeah, I probably should have worded that differently. As much as I would love to see the Cubs pound Strasburg, it appears that opportunity will have to wait until the next meeting. How's that?

Looks like we are missing Strasburg this series.

Lester is feeling sorry for the underworked bullpen. Gonna help them get some innings today.

Ok. Back to being comfortably confident once again. That inning was scary.

Almost done drinking my morning coffee and a Cub game is about to start. Life is good!

That tag was insane!

I did find where I can change the audio settings. Changed it to radio audio feed and Len and us are back. Yay!

My mlb tv csn feed had excellent audio and video, went to commercial after the 2nd inning and audio was gone when it came back. I don't have the stadium sound on/off feature.

Ross was awesome that inning.

Cubs feed on mlb tv has picture but no sound. Had sound for the first few innings. Forced to watch the yahoos on Pitt feed. Anyone know why this happens? Probably about the 5th time I've run across this. Sometimes there is stadium noise but no Len and jd.

With Slauson and Rolle gone, are Cutler, Gould and Porter the only 30+ guys on the roster?

I have and I do have a good one. Was super busy and only glanced at box scores while I was gone, I also saw headlines like Bryant twisting an ankle. I just didn't hear about Montero is all. You should sign up for TeamStream alerts Normally I just watch the games, either live or archived if I can't watch it live. I was just out of town for a whole week, though. They were off a game and rained out twice, so I didn't really think I missed all that much.

Montero went on the DL due to back problems BBB, have you heard of smart phones? I have and I do have a good one. Was super busy and only glanced at box scores while I was gone, I also saw headlines like Bryant twisting an ankle. I just didn't hear about Montero is all.

Montero went on the DL due to back problems Thanks!

I've been out of town. Why is Federowicz on the roster?

Love this team!

Between the shift from 4-3 to 3-4, I didn't feel like they fully shifted to a group that was best suited for the new 3-4 defense last year, so they weren't fully prepared at every position to be the force that Fangio envisions. This offseason, they clearly expressed the desire to finish the job of completing the transition. The depth on defense is going to cause fits for opposing offenses. I have zero complaints about loading up on defense. I can't imagine anyone not being excited to see these guys together on the field. So many good playmakers and tons of depth at each position. The offense will be interesting. I'm not excited and I'm not disappointed. Gone are Forte and Bennett. It remains to be seen whether their replacements can be as effective. Still some question marks about how good the two starting Tackles will be. The receiver corps should be a monster improvement this year with the addition of White and returning everyone else back to full health. I sorta agree with Jersey that it would have been great to get Tunsil, because the true hope is that the 6-10 record from last year was the rebuild year and we won't be able to pick that low again for quite some time, and grabbing the best LT in the draft (having fallen that low) would have solidified that position for many years. It's weed, which is perfectly legal in some states. These kids are young and stupid. He owned up that it was him in the picture, and it's probably a lie if the claim that it was a long time ago, because the photo looked like the same diamond earrings he had on at the draft. But so what. Just because Josh Gordon or Justin Blackmon continue to do stupid stuff over and over doesn't automatically mean someone else is going to do the same because they got caught once. I would have taken Tunsil with that pick without moving up. With that said, Floyd seems like a guy who could add some weight and strength and eventually compare to an Aldon Smith type, so I'm trusting they got their man with that pick.
