in one fewer game The Braves lost yesterday so the Cubs are +2 for the best RD in the NL.

Rucker has his best game of the season and TT is focusing on Underwood here.

Yesterday at Extended Spring Training: https://www.thecubreporter.com/05122018/cubs-soar-past-angels-diablo

Dwayne Wade is a superstar but no NFL player is (Brady, Rodgers, whatever)? Brady was a hard no... not in enough commercials, not recognizable enough according to their own straw polls. Rodgers wasn’t mentioned. Kobe, Shaq, ARod, and Peyton Manning are still superstars. Yeah, that’s a bad opinion. All my coworkers who know nothing about sports know Brady.

Instead of blowing big leads against the Brewers, the Rockies should look into hitting Brewers players in the head.

He took a no-hitter into the 7th in his last start. He has a 5.14 ERA on the season.

Wade Davis just blew a 2-run lead to the Brewers.

The FB velo is a bit underwhelming.

.......Worst start of the season.

Brendon Little has this far thrown 3 scoreless innings. Only 1 hit, 4 Ks and 2 walks.

RD is +52, 1 behind Atlanta for best in the NL.

Unless I’m missing something, the link BA tweeted today was the mock from Tuesday with the Cubs picking prep catcher Anthony Seigler.

And I wouldn’t have complained if they got Turang (who went the pick before) either but Rocker would be great.

Yeah, some interesting and good draftable prospects look to be falling into the 20s. Hopefully a couple of these guys make it to the Cubs and past teams like the Yankees who are picking just in front of them.

I wonder if the Cubs have Alzolay in mind for the big league doubleheader May 19th.

ODLC: 5 IP, 9 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 5 K Lange: 5+ IP, 6 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 2 K - faced 3 batters in the 6th and all 3 scored

Man, that’s a lot of helium on Kyler Murray.

Carlos Martinez to the DL with a lat strain.

Man, Kauai is the best.

Would be super dumb on their part to bring him up anytime before the 7th or whatever day of next season.
