They seem to always go 1-2 at Dodger Stadium. Thank goodness they didn't last October.

That is the Mount Rushmore of awful 90's bands. Needs more Limp Bizkit. And Candlebox. Limp Bizkit and other nü metal bands belong in their own Mt. Rushmore. Russ Hanneman's Mt. Rushmore, if you will.

If we're blaming the coaches for the young hitters slumping, do they not get credit for fixing Rizzo back in the day and Heyward this year?

He'd also been popular due to tools scouting reports upside ceiling, not even so long ago. I'd say he became outright unpopular maybe a year now, give or take a couple months on either side. You know NSBB, all about the tools and never stats.

Why wouldn't anyone believe you? He was the number 1 overall international free agent. And unless that employee was a hot dog vendor, most Cubs employees were thinking the same thing. Now if you told them, like you wrote here last year, that Kellogg would be better than Clifton, that would be a bold, unbelievable prediction. Remember when it was a thing that I was saying Clifton > Underwood? As the Cubs are sharp I would imagine actually being called the next big thing in a second/third pro season requires a little more than being the top 7/2 16 YO international FA from that one time. As grand and storied a title that is, probably something else needs to have happened two years later. Plus the Cubs had some SS, from that same 7/2 group, getting all the attention in full season ball that year. Underwood's been pretty unpopular on this board for some time due to his low K rates and injuries.

I wonder if Schwarber realizes everyone pitches him up and he can't handle that.

Way to walk the pitcher, Donkey Teeth.

Dumb 2-out run.

What a dumb consequence of replay.

Ohh Heyward. How was that not a home run?

The curve is decent but the change isn't that good, which is why a lot of people think he's destined to be a reliever.

Chase Anderson has a no-hitter through 7 at 111 pitches.

So, 106 or so by the 5th? Stadium gun and all, but yeah, this is super impressive. Not surprising but Josh Norris said the stadium gun was off.

So, umm. [tweet] [/tweet]

This seems faster than I thought Alzolay threw. [tweet] [/tweet]

Also Miguel Amaya hit a home run off former Cub prospect Kyle Twomey.

The Jake Arrieta in 2017 story. I'll take a handful of hits and a 9:1 KBB any day. Sucks that the offense couldn't back him up. The 10 HRs before Memorial Day is the problem. Ball wasn't even flying out tonight at Dodger Stadium.
