    The next 22 games for the Giants: vs HOU, vs WAS, @ STL, @PIT, vs CHC, vs STL, @LAD

    Giants game thread at SBNation wants to see if Peavy can throw 300+ pitches this game since the pen is gassed anyway and it doesn't matter.

    Remember when the Padres wouldn't trade with the Cubs because AJ Preller thought they were still in the playoff race? Well now the Padres are further from a playoff spot than any AL team.

    At this point, I'm curious which is more likely, that the Cubs win the 1st wildcard, or that the White Sox finish with the worst record in the AL.

    Once again, there are just 3 teams in MLB with fewer losses than the Cubs.

    His grandmother passed away. Szczur is back up as a result.

    Also of note, since they got no-hit by Cole Hamels, the Cubs have scored at least 3 runs in 11 of 12 games. In those games, they are 9-2.

    The Cubs are 50-20 this year when they score at least 3 runs.

    Mike Trout turns 24 today. He already has more career WAR than Derrek Lee.

    Wasn't Castro hitting like .300 the past 7 or so games? Yes, and Fowler in general has been great since the ASB.

    The most unbalanced teams in the league, aka lol Phillies:
  14. bukie
    Russell comes through, Jungmann now at 112 pitches with 2 outs in the 6th.
  15. bukie
    It'd be fantastic for the offense if Starlin Castro could go back to being a little more like Starlin Castro.
  16. bukie
    Because they aren't right down the middle?
  17. bukie
    Padres, I imagine.
  18. bukie
    The mentality I don't get is the view that the Cubs must not be trying to win if they don't go all in right now. The biggest impact the team can make right now is another starter, but beyond that where should they upgrade? SS can be dealt with internally and every other position has either a rookie option that's doing just fine and stands to improve or has Dexter Fowler who is doing well enough for now.

    Does that mean the White Sox are Sellers?

    Fantastic article from SI on the origins of MLS, 20 years later: http://www.si.com/longform/2015/mls/index.html?noroute=true

    The Tulo deal reminds me a lot of the Nomar deal for the Cubs in 2004.

    During the game, imo. If Hamels is cruising through 5 innings, get something done quick and pull him from the game.

    Canada also attempts the sac bunt leadoff strategy and fails for a strikeout.
  24. bukie
    Team USA's 10th inning strategy: Put two fast runners on, and have the leadoff hitter sac bunt, putting 2-3-4 up with runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. Canada walks the next hitter intentionally, and the 3 hitter hits a 2-run double to give the US a 6-4 lead in the 10th. Two more harmless outs and now Canada is up in the 10th with 2 on and 0 out.
  25. bukie
    Pan-Am gold medal game between USA and Canada tied after 9 innings, and the extra inning rules are weird: Each team starts the inning with whichever runners they want on 1st and 2nd with 0 outs, and can send any batter in the lineup up and start the batting order there.
