    They are divorced and from what I can tell via her Instagram posts, she is Woke. And not so subtly implying in a couple of posts that their marriage fell apart at least in part because he isn't.

    The [expletive] on Aramis for not hustling thing was something a ton of Chicago media did and it drove me horsefeathering insane not only because it didn't matter, but Aramis actually did bust it down the line a few times when he maybe shouldn't have and ended up injuring his hamstring, which is probably why he had refrained from 'hustling' in the first place.

    Du-rag isn’t inherently derogatory. As many have noted, it’s a very common thing worn by African-American men. It’s the way that Brenly felt compelled to point out an old great like Tom Seaver wouldn’t have ever worn one that made the comment racist. It was a pointed comment on how the game has changed, and implied not for the better. Fwiw, I don’t think it was meant to be racist. But it was insensitive. So the sensitivity training feels appropriate here. Yeah, I think Bob was just making a joke, but it wasn't a good one, and considering the source it felt worse than it might have coming from someone without this kind of history.

    No one tried to advance because they thought the ball was caught. If the ump never made a call, which I assume he didn't, that's on those guys.

    Marquee should probably do some quality control before posting Tweets that are from Cincinnati-based users who use the hashtag #ATOBTTR (And This One Belongs to the Reds)

    Did strong play inspire that move? I had always been under the impression that the bullpen being a catastrophic pile of suck led to that move. We also traded for Castellanos 7 weeks later with Theo basically talking Ricketts into forking over a couple million to pay for him.

    Hendricks serving up back-to-back gopher balls to kill the mood

    I hadn't even thought about that, but yep. That would've almost been a Johnny Evers/Fred Merkle type of situation where a heads-up infielder nullifies a whole bunch of stuff that happened after.

    Here. Just watch.

    I cannot even begin to explain what Javy Baez just did, but it resulted in a run and him standing on second base on what should've been a routine play.

    I loathe the idea of ties too, but if you gave me the choice of ties after 12 or this current crap, give me ties all day. If they agreed to ties, would then MLB go to a standings point based system similar to the NHL? I hadn't thought it through, but baseball isn't a continuous sport the way hockey is; teams can't give up runs in a failed attempt to score themselves. So that probably wouldn't be necessary - which isn't to say it might not still happen.

    Kris Bryant homered again. Anthony Rizzo is out of the lineup again with the 'we're definitely going to put him on the injured list in 3 weeks but will happily play shorthanded until then' back injury.

    I thought I had heard of someone doing that before so I looked it up and Kenley Jansen did it 2 years ago. https://www.mlb.com/news/kenley-jansen-executes-intentional-balk

    Cubs signed Dee Strange-Gordon (you probably remember him better as Dee Gordon) to a minor-league deal. Ominous indicator of Nico's injury status.
  16. Andy
    I'm kind of stunned he swung at all.
  17. Andy
    That swing by Javy was pure sex

    I'll give Ross this, I'm not used to the perfectly logical move of bringing on the closer in this particular spot

    This ump is slobbering Wainwright and Molina's collective knob even more than the broadcast team is
  20. Andy
    It's obviously a good thing when every one of your losses seems to be by one run, but the problem with it is every single one of your losses is by one horsefeathering run
  21. Andy
    Thank goodness I missed the Molina HR while putting my kids to bed because whenever that horsefeathering poser does anything my heart dies a bit.

    Whoever Williams is apparently thought Eric Sogard's walk up music just couldn't be topped

    Len took some time to start doing that too. It wasn't until the Aramis game winner against Milwaukee (to me anyway) that he truly felt like our guy, and that was his 3rd year here.
  24. Andy
    Boog is excellent at the job and he and JD are fun together. There's an ineffable warmth the Len/JD team brought that isn't quite there for me yet, and it's probably got a lot to do with the fact that I got so used to Boog as a national voice. But our booth continues to be among the best in the game.

    God Bryant is just horsefeathering sensational right now
