Pretty excited I can't see the next four games because I live in LA.

What are the odds Eloy is #1 prospect in the system at the end of the season? The All-Star break?

Holy [expletive], you aren't kidding. I like the janky mascot's head getting knocked around in the celebration. Hope the mascot didn't steal Eloy's wallet.

It's crazy how much power Zobrist can generate from that swing (even if that one only went 352').

I got the At Bat alert that the Cubs scored well before the run scored on MLB TV; I don't think that's ever happened to me the past two seasons.

Man, kissing the South Bend mascot really paid off.

Wait, why were the Mariners only allowed to challenge one out when Clint Hurdle was allowed to challenge two different outs on a potential DP against the Cubs earlier this season?

I would definitely be interested in Eovaldi though it would annoying that he will be a free agent after 2017, just like Arrieta, Hammel (if his 2017 option is picked up) and Lackey. Also, I'm really not sure why the Yankees would trade him - they're not the classic small market team trading a guy closing in on free agency.

It is probably more possible than Puk at 1, they are nuts if they go with a pitcher. I learned that there is a Boras Classic HS baseball tournament in that article. Collins finally makes the top 10, just 4-6 more spots to go. I was going to mention TJ Zeuch as a 104 candidate after a good game against Miami, but he's in there at 16. Zeuch and Justin Dunn (BC) have quite a bit of helium. Also, the link says Cal Quantrill is doing bullpen sessions (there was a poster asking about Quantrill and Wil Crowe's rehab from TJS a while ago).

I don't think this is how Collins and Syndergaard planned it out.

And Chase Utley just hit a home run to break a 0-0 tie.

Noah Syndergaard just got tossed for throwing behind Chase Utley in the third inning of a 0-0 game with no prior warnings.

Apparently Salvador Perez was involved in a nasty collision right before the big Royals comeback.

Myrtle Beach PPD. Doubleheader tomorrow.

The Cubs are on pace for 114 wins.

No one was covering third but it was still a very close play and, down 4 with 2 outs, a really unnecessary risk.

Can we pretend like that ball touched Heyward or Zobrist's glove and call that an unearned run?

We should start a pool as to which pitcher the Pirates will lose to in the WC game. They're totally getting Thor this year. Syndergaard or Scherzer seem like the obvious choices but I think it would be funny if they got dominated by Kershaw, especially because of Kerhshaw's playoff reputation (if that's still a thing).

Yeah, I could go a bunch of different ways too. 1. Contreras 2. Torres 3. Jimenez 4. Almora 5. Happ 6. Cease 7. Candelario 8. Edwards 9. Hudson 10. Caratini (could easily go with Clifton here and thought about Zagunis and Dewees too)

Eloy has made the jump for me to #3. If you flip him and Almora, we'd have the same top 7. ETA: Oh, and I'd flip Contreras and Torres too.

That Soler strikeout was such utter [expletive].

Only one BB from Stinnett is good.
