Miles Mikolas signing looking pretty good through two months of the season. About to go to 6-0 with a complete game shutout of the “Hot Mess” Royals on 108 pitches. His ERA is sub 2.30. When will he begin to suck? Or will this be another “horseshoe up their a$$” find for St. Louis?
Marlins up 9-4 in the 9th, and up 9-5 in the ninth with 2 outs and a man on first......AND LOSE! The gave up a 6 spot in the bottom of the ninth. A Dansby Swanson single drives in the winning two for the Braves.
Felipe "Don't Call Me Rivero" Vazquez and the Bucs just sh!t the bed in the top of the ninth to the Padres. After a couple of singles to lead off the ninth, the ever-reliable Jordy Mercer throws wildly and the Padres tie it. Then a few more hits and suddenly the Bus are down 8-5 in the 9th. Two an and still nobody out.
Sammy Sofa - There is NO GAME on Monday! I know this was an issue a few weeks back. I will try not to post Tuesday's game thread until late Monday night so as to avoid more confusion. For all other posters, disregard this thread/post....and sorry for the inconvenience.

While I don't have much faith in Farid or the Cubs today, Sammy Sofa already chalked this game as a loss for me in the "Game Thread Starters" post. He has me listed as 2-2. WTF?!?!?
The weather in Chicago has been like the Cubs this season. Temps mostly below normal with an occasional up tick. And just when there's a few days strung together of what you'd expect for the given month - WHAM! Just like today, back to crap. I hope Farid doesn't have a tummy ache by the third inning.
I’m not fooled. Fake start of win streak. Too many runs and hits Saturday night. So that means they’re fuqued against a guy few have heard of. Farid looks awesome and yet struggles....again. Embrace the suck.
I love the wording on Gameday for Heyward’s AB: “Jason Hayward triples (2) on a pop up to second baseman Scooter Gennett.” Any other batter and I question how that can even be.
So if I’m the opposing team, I would IBB the lead off hitter each inning. Balk twice, to keep the pitch count down. Then watch the inning unfold without allowing a run. Almost guaranteed to give up 1 run or less through nine innings, no?
