Hard to fault Almora for that, he read the ball was getting by Molina, didn't anticipate it bouncing off the ump's leg right back to him. Yeah. Seeing the replay, Almora made the right read. Still have no idea what Coghlan was doing.

Also why didn't Coghlan take off too? Some dumb ass baserunning all around.

That was so incredibly dumb.

Not that I want him ejected but why wasn't Rosenthal tossed? What's the point of warnings when Rondon got ejected last year for that BS?

Richard got the job done!

Did he say anything interesting or important?

Not questioning Maddon or anything but I thought his bullpen management was iffy today. Using Grimm for only one batter when he's still a better option against lefties than Richard and pushing Warren past 50 pitches in the 9th.

And that's why you give Bryant a 3-0 green light. Back-to-back!!

Hey, the Cubs might have a day one pick next year. The strength of the draft are prep outfielders and college pitchers. 2017 is supposed to be much better than the 2016 draft. Lot more potential high draft picks in the BA link (but it's premium content). Keith Law is very high on Vanderbilt OF Jeren Kendall and has said he could be a potential 1.1 pick too.

Javy Baez loves his parents.

Wladimir Galindo home run.

33 pitches in the first on a warm evening isn't bad.

Why yes, Ken Rosenthal. It's crazy that noted Cubs fan Bill Murray would want to hang out with the Cubs.

The Pirates also have outfielder Austin Meadows at AAA. If they go this route, it might be easier to trade McCutcheon in the offseason, move Marte to center and call up Meadows when he's ready.

South Bend made the playoffs.

Cardinals went 0-5 on their homestand. I say they leave Chicago on an 8-game losing streak.

Aww, that's cute.
