I think you’re misreading BN. He just came off it. It was the corresponding move to Cory Abbott being promoted.

You aren't kidding. He absolutely killed that ball and I fully expected it to be caught up against the wall. I pretty much had the same reaction as the Montero NLCS grand slam. A combination of utter shock and waiting for the other shoe to drop and the ball being caught at the track.

That makes up for all the fluky horsefeathers that went the Phillies way.

Pull him already, Joe.

Oh yeah.

Hecht gets it done in the 9th. South Bend throws a combined no-hitter.

Through 7 now. EDIT: Lacy is done after 7. Ben Hecht will pitch the 8th. Darn. But understandable as Lacy was at 96 pitches. Hecht throws a 1-2-3 8th. 8 combined no-hit innings.

Amaya triple.

Through 7 now. EDIT: Lacy is done after 7. Ben Hecht will pitch the 8th.

Galindo HR (#3)

The draft is over. The first post has been updated. No one drafted Heimlich.

This whole thing is weird.

The Cubs take Jacob Campbell, a prep catcher from Craig HS in Wisconsin, in the 36th round. MLB.com's 154th prospect: BA's 155th prospect:

Brewers lost to Cleveland again today. They’ve lost 4 of their last 5.

Ummm...

The Cubs take Tyler Ras in the 33rd round. Worked out for the Cubs before the draft. MLB.com's 197th player. BA ranked him 188.

The Cubs' 28th rounder is ranked 281 by BA: Tennessee isn’t a powerhouse college baseball program so it’ll be interesting to see how easy it is to sign him. https://twitter.com/savermetrics/status/1004454087176273920?s=2 https://twitter.com/savermetrics/status/1003536012054654976?s=21

The Cubs' 26th rounder, prep OF Julian Boyd, is a Nevada commit. He tore his ACL playing football last fall.
