  1. What is the alternative? There is nobody else.
  2. Not that it has amounted to anything, but I like this new Cubs running strategy. If teams aren't going to attempt to stop it, just keep stealing bases.
  3. Matt Swarmer gets the Game 1 start tomorrow. Which begs the question, who is Matt Swarmer?
  4. Following such a well-pitched game by both starters, this has been a laughably poorly played game by both teams.
  5. Consecutive bunts in the 10th inning. This has been a strange game.
  6. With Rivas in for Schwindel, this is still a very solid defensive infield.
  7. Not after the hard contact he gave up in the 7th.
  8. He's a bat-first first baseman without the bat. Quite the value in today's game.
  9. Once again Schwindel fails to make the easy pick at first.
  10. Intentional walk with an 0-1 count. That's not something you see very often.
  11. I know there is still time to turn it around, but what a disastrous season this has been for the White Sox so far, and Tim Anderson possibly being out for an extended period of time won't help.
  12. I kept thinking he reminded me of someone, but I couldn't figure out who. You nailed it though. Junior Lake is exactly who I was thinking of.
  13. This Mets/Giants game is nuts. The Giants had an 8-2 lead at one point, then the Mets scored 7 runs in the 8th to take an 11-8 lead. The Giants came right back in the bottom off the 8th and tied the game on a Joc Pederson home run (his 3rd of the game). The teams have a combined 22 runs and 33 hits so far.
  14. Grace is working with Bally Sports in AZ. Unless he was just a postgame guest after one of the games last weekend. Yeah, but a few years ago he was sharing time between the Dbacks and Cubs. Then he called his ex wife a dingbat on air and was otherwise not positively received, but I never heard anything about Marquee cutting ties with him. Of course they may have just quietly not renewed his contact.
  15. Is Mark Grace no longer employed by Marquee?
  16. Unfortunately I suspect Rivas will be heading back to Iowa soon. I like him a lot and would like to see him get an extended opportunity, but right now he is taking too many pitches and striking out too much.
  17. The better question is how is Ortega a better option to pinch hit than Rivas? Especially when Rivas is going to have to come in to play 1B anyway. I guess it doesn't matter when the pitchers can't throw strikes.
  18. The better question is how is Ortega a better option to pinch hit than Rivas? Especially when Rivas is going to have to come in to play 1B anyway.
  19. The entire team being bad offensively has taken the attention away from how terrible Heyward still is. But considering there are no other options, what else can you do except continue to run him out there?
  20. Which I'm unable to get right now. "There was an error. Please try later." And on top of that, Apple TV doesn't even have an app on Android devices. And they want people to pay for the service in the future? This is annoying.
  21. Trade Happ and pay Willson. There's no reason he can't continue to put up good numbers for another 4-5 years, especially managing his catching workload with DH starts.
