I hope OMC has a nice long run, but I really hope Rondon Fan gets like an 18 game winning streak. With no rain outs or delays.

That was very funny. And mojo really should be putting all his efforts into anti-Lackey posts.

MLB is investigating the Red Sox over potential package deal signings in 2015. MLB comes off looking pretty bad in the investigation:

Easily the most frustrating player on this team for me. Oh yeah, Strop is so frustrating. [tweet] [/tweet]

Geez, I thought that was gone (ditto Bryant's flyout).

2-strike meatballs from relievers on consecutive days.

Almora Jr with two doubles already.

I'm just going off memory and not looking at logs but I believe he's strictly been a 1-inning reliever this season.

No one mocks past the first round, let alone all the way down to 104, so there's not much out there about the Cubs. I'm just a baseball fan. Here's BA's most recent mock draft (John Manuel) and MLB.com's most recent top 10 (Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo). The top of the draft still isn't set and it sounds like Philadelphia is still considering Florida LHP AJ Puk, New Jersey prep LHP Jason Groome, Kansas prep RHP Riley Pint and Mercer OF Kyle Lewis.

I noticed that too.

No kidding: [tweet]https://twitter.com/bbtn/status/729890247455211520[/tweet] And the offseason trade market will be steep again. Might be worth keeping Hammel with his team option if they can't get anything at the deadline.

Off the field, that's a good thing.

According to BP, Berg has an 82% GB% this year, after being at 83% in Eugene and 73% in Myrtle Beach last year. any relation to Justin Berg? How dare you.

He was back yesterday itself.

Jen-Ho Tseng to the Tennessee DL, David Berg promoted from Myrtle Beach to Tennessee.
