Honestly, the thing that annoys me the most is that a horsefeathers 27 year old is only rated this high for one organization.

Unless Busch can improve his wRC+ by one point in the next week, Jed should sell.

It is dangerously hot there, so I get it. But I turned on the Reds v Cards game in the 10th right when there was a wide shot, and I legitimately wondered if something happened in St Louis today that caused them not to allow fans in the ballpark. Again, I wouldn't want to be there either

It really is OK to sit out a take every once in a while.

Wow great work Hallowell
-
Sliding into home on an outfield throw is tough because the plate is borderline underground but you also don't want to dislocate your shoulder sliding into a shinguard. I kinda think Happ was out by the letter of the law but I appreciate the logic of calling him safe. Replay drives me crazy on some of these slides.

I wonder what fans of bad offenses say

Does Sut spend all day in the manager's office, or does he just talk about every conversation he had in there on air

Cubs Reds Game 3
Illiterate Scholar replied to chibears55's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
PCA is gonna head into the All Star break (hopefully he doesn't have to bat again) with a .386 OBP. A legitimate 'best hitter on a good team' 1st half performance. Plus all the other stuff he does, obviously. -
I was half way expecting MLB network to do a Charles Johnson comp for Lackey.
-
That was a weird one. I'm thinking Wolf just used the wrong phrasing by saying "fan interference". Maybe just meant it literally bounced off the fan's finger but he didn't reach onto the field of play?
-
It seems like a) the Cubs maybe adjusted their strategy for the batters to wait and b) the calls are not as obvious when you're not watching on tv with the strike zone graphic. He's had quite a few misses through 3.5 innings, yet the Padres went 0-2 on challenges. It's hard!
-
Great call Alex Cohen!
-
I just hope it's not a broken hamate for Shaw.
-
Shaw was shaking out his hand/wrist last AB. That's clearly not a straight PH situation

Honestly, I'm ok if Seiya never slides again. I love him, but he's a danger to himself as a baserunner
-
I'd also say that's the exact pocket of 2 hitters to make the move. Contreras and Vaughn getting a 3rd look at a soft ish tossing lefty ain't ideal
-
Brett brought this up on their podcast last week, but with how quickly Breslow got rid of this guy after having him... is it a good thing Breslow is no longer here?
-
Vic still hates Nico
-
Obviously he's incredible but with the way the offense is going, I could see a still dominant, yet relatively short (high pitch count) performance by the Miz tonight. Not that our pitching is in a good spot to take advantage if that did happen, though.
-
This series keeps making me feel better about Peterson. My goodness
-
Always a scary throw. Nice job by Dansby there
