It’s 75 here, a couple of blocks from Petco and I’ve had 2 locals apologize for the heat. You must live in inland OC (don’t call it that). The folks who live by the immediate coast in California live a different, cooler life.

It was as bad a call as Gameday made it seem.

2/2 with 2 singles now.

Judging by how minor leaguers are paid and fed, you don't have much difference from major league teams.

Trent Giambrone took the biggest leap forward: Mooney once again some good quotes about Amaya, this time in the Athletic. It’s clear the organization views Amaya as easily their top prospect: https://theathletic.com/428979/2018/07/11/meet-miguel-amaya-the-next-big-time-cubs-prospect-heading-to-the-futures-game/

Heyman spelled Barraclaugh and Conley wrong. [tweet] [/tweet]

Rosenthal: Doesn’t make sense from a roster standpoint. Wouldn’t be shocked if Adam Jones didn’t make sense from a luxury tax standpoint too.

Good, hope Maddon keeps pissing people off. This one makes no sense though because almost every manager would bring an outfielder into the infield. r_mack not getting Grant Brisbee is amazing.
