He knows they have to get out of the inning very soon. -

At least Almora recovered and didn't pull a Nyjer Morgan: -

Zimmerman error changed to a Baez double, for those not watching or able to watch. That also mean's all 4 runs are now earned. -

VICTOR! -
That's because he's one of the 3 guys whose name Joe can drunkenly remember. Or, he's one of Dusty'sJoe's horses

Probably safer than aiming for the knees.

I was going to say that the Mariners giving him to the Cards for Marco Gonzales was dumb, but Gonzales is actually pretty good this year. That being said, O'Neil is just the next DeJong/Grichuk/Diaz. Somewhat useful, but not really that special.
-
Fun fact: Last year, the Red Sox hit 168 homers. This year? Well, it's August 21st, and they've hit 169.

They may not immediately pull him back, they'd probably at least discuss a deal if that were the case. Frankly, I don't see him getting past the Brewers if they did try to pass him through waivers. Joking here? What the heck would they do with yet another infielder who can’t play D? Partially. At least this one might be able to hit a bit. They could play him at short!

If he was claimed by the Cubs then the Nationals would immediately pull him back. We aren't getting someone that good, but I do know the Cubs are looking. Seems like a fake rumor to me. They may not immediately pull him back, they'd probably at least discuss a deal if that were the case. Frankly, I don't see him getting past the Brewers if they did try to pass him through waivers.

Bring in Manny!

while i wouldn't say half a win is meaningless, it's actually a difference of .8 I'm seeing 5.1 vs 4.7. Regardless, WAR has standard margin of error - any derived statistical indicator has one. Lowest suggestion I've seen is 15% and I believe the highest I've seen suggested is 2 WAR per year. So .4 is absolutely meaningless; even at the lower 15% the .8 would be borderline. Now there may be other schools of thought on what the margin of error may be, but even it it were lower - 15% is pretty low to begin with - there is still a margin of error; so small fractional differences aren't meaningful. fwar is 4.9 vs 4.1, bwar is 5.1 vs 4.7

This is the second time this season that the Cubs have hit a walk off grand slam, I wonder how many times that's happened.
-
I guess they didn't read the scouting report. All those pitches were low.
-
I guess they're still salty about Rizzo, just giving pitchers to Cubs' competitors.
-
Tyson Ross to the Cards, apparently. Oh, and Lyles to the Brewers.

Drop Bryant, add Eugenio Suarez -
No harm no foul, but probably not the best time of year to do that.
-
Cubs somehow won. Do it again
-
It's the bottom of the first already and no gam thread. Da horsefeathers guys? Anyways, Chatwalk has only walked 1 so far. Amazing! Also, Anthony loves leading off!

Oddly, last year at 90 games the Cubs were 5.5 back of the Brewers (93 games played) and preceded to come back to be tied the next week. This year at 90 games (Brewers at guess what, 93 games played): 1.5 back, by the end of the week, 2.5 up.

With his 1 RBI today, Baez enters the All-Star break leading the NL (2nd in the MLB).
-
Nice play by "Javy" Bote.

Since we're playing the Padres, let's check in with Eric Hosmer, who signed an 8 year, $144m contract last offseason with the Padres. .247/.317/.391, -0.2 fWAR. Oh dear. Well, good luck Padres.
