8 teams in baseball are at least 10 games out of first place. Half of those are the rest of the NL Central. -
2 walks, 2 HBP, been on base 4 times, and scored a run. get your head in the game, Rizzo. I don't care if he's early 2000s Barry Bonds. That was an absent minded play from Rizzo. Not sure if you have the TV broadcast, but Len made the point that Rizzo may have been intentionally doing that so he could be as fast as possible to the 2nd base bag and have the run count. My first guess was he put his head down too early(thinking the ball got past Mercer or that Mercer was going to 1B), but in watching the replays I can see the case for it.
-
well Harrison's glove probably didn't touch him until well after Rizzo started trucking him, but that's probably a dubious interference call. It's not like Rizzo is obligated to get out of his way.
-
Yeah, inning over either way but I think the run should count.
-
Needs audio.

Do you think Polanco has nightmares about Wrigley once, or twice a week?

Russell owes the baserunners dinner [tweet] [/tweet]

All he does is drive in runs
-
just zero interest in swinging the bat from the entire Pirates team
-
how did Baez even make contact with that pitch
-
Hurdle went out to argue that Rizzo swung at the pitch. I think he was trying to somehow argue that Rizzo was on top of the plate and that the pitch was a borderline strike.
-
I honestly think Bryant is probably the only one capable of getting the loft. That would be a HIGH home run. Think about how lofted his shot off the board was last year, and it was what, 20 feet low?
-
If the idea is to minimize poor framing, you probably want a guy who gets the most swinging strikes as it is, or maybe the guy who allows the least amount of total contact. Or maybe the guy who gets the most swings out of the zone, or maybe the guy who throws the most pitches in the zone. Thankfully among Cubs starters one guy is all of those things at once. John Lackey.

I'd guess they'll have Contreras catch one starter consistently, and as long as he doesn't humiliate himself he'll get starts against LHP on non-Lester/Ross days. So something like 50/30/20 between Montero/Contreras/Ross
-
I'm honestly not sure he ever made contact with the guy's face.
-
Oh I had completely forgotten until Stone alluded to it just now, there's no extra time until the final, so if Ecuador had gotten an equalizer it would have gone straight to PKs.
-
Man it sucks so much that Wood is suspended considering both his yellows were terrible calls.
-
What nonsense was that Besler, that's CONCACAF loser stuff
-
"Finally, Beckerman is in", I thought for the first time in my life.
-
Yes, both are suspended for the semis. If Johnson, Bradley, Bedoya, or Brooks get a yellow they will join them.
-
That tweet is from 4 days ago, Wood is suspended for the semis.

what are you doing to me Michael Bradley
