naturally baseball wonderboy Muncy boots the ground ball in the direction of first base -
Max Muncy and Jesus Aguilar have combined for 35 home runs this year in in about 435 PA. Baseball can go fall in a well

Who is the Cubs most interesting draft pick this year? Well if you exclude their first pick, it's either their second or third pick!

I agree that millennial has become catchall pejorative for the nonsense of the youths, but it's also not a narrow 5 year band either. Pew research defines it as being born between 81 and 97. There are definitely a lot of millennials on the field at this year's CWS.

Excellent look at the Cubs rotation, with particular focus on Q, Hendricks, and Darvish: https://theathletic.com/410692/2018/06/28/sarris-what-lies-ahead-for-the-cubs-rotation/ The cliffs notes for non-subscribers: - The Cubs are near the top of the list of rotations with the most projected progression to the mean in the second half. - Hendricks' problem has been righties hitting home runs with his fastball, mostly because more of them have been over the heart of the plate - Q hasn't had his typical command, which is probably good news as command is one of those traits that is stickiest year to year - Darvish also has had command struggles, particularly with his breaking stuff, which isn't great with as many breaking pitches he throws. Also some concern about his return from injury.

2B has a better angle and should call off the 1B if he can easily get there, he just overran it by 5 yards. Not sure if that was wind, misreading the spin(presumably a lefty hit it to come back towards the field?), or just pure overexuberance.

I'm gonna have to spend July ranting about just leaving Montgomery in the rotation instead of making some half-baked trade, aren't I

General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread

You need someone who is at a divisional opponent and is a strong power hitter, and then is there for many years. Even if you hit a HR once every 3 games at Coors, it's still gonna take you 9 years of that pace to get to 27, and not many people stay in one place that long. -

Prospects have a 132% failure rate, feel free to be happy when they succeed without qualifiers. Except for Duane Underwood, that guy is fool's gold of the highest order. -
Germany please, I need this

I really don't understand how Mexico got that half scoreless, if nothing else that is a stone cold penalty on Chicharito.

Have to think a Cub is gonna take over that Busch stadium lead before long. Rizzo is the closest with 9, and he has 14 at Miller Park too. -
oh did Trueblood start out thinking himself with his thinkiness again

The Joe Maddon Cubs have a .595 winning percentage in about 3.5 seasons, a 96 win pace. In May and June it is .538, an 87 win pace.

that’s enough baseball for me today

Presumably because the hat trick was 2 penalties and a shot from a teammate that unwittingly hit his heel. Against Panama.

good job AAAA crew, 7 IP 1 R is nothing to be ashamed of

Sounds like when it came time to make a frame order, someone had a little trouble with their friends at Gold Coast Bank. Maybe instead of hiring people to stuff frames from Craigslist he should've employed people from the business friendly village of New Lenox. He probably just decided to not bother with the 5th of every 9 orders and yours was the unlucky one.

I look forward to marveling at his stuff and then looking up at his end line and seeing 4.2 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 3/2 K/BB -
Go Greendale?

I did not realize that several Swiss players were Albanian, and that making Albanian celebration signs after they scored against Serbia was signalling to their comrades, many of whom are in Switzerland to...escape Serbian genocide. That's some kind of gratifying win to beat that country in a comeback.
