  1. The Cubs didn't win a 4-game series in the first half (0-2-2), but they haven't lost a series in the second half (3-0-1). Would like to see that trend continue. FWIW.
  2. I'm sure it was, but I found it funny. He's great in the booth and makes "not great" games fun to listen to at times.
  3. "Cabbage Leaf" Two words never uttered together in a baseball game until just now. Thanks JD!!
  4. With a lefty on the mound, does Canario see some action today? If he does, would like to see him in the field instead of DH'ing.
  5. Smylie gonna see several innings in one of the games. For good or bad.
  6. Tua, but he started only 9 games. Purdy did well. Lamar Jackson was 6-1 in starts. Carolina might be most like Baltimore in that the Panthers will rely on D.
  7. So are the waived players who weren’t claimed now fee agents? Can they sign with a team for the min.
  8. Just keep winning (and splitting) series.
  9. They have a chance to bury those teams . But I’d be happy with a 4game series split (that’s actually a win as no ground is made up by Cincy) and a series win. Just don’t lose series (consecutively) or go on a significant losing streak.
  10. Clevinger put on waivers.
  11. White Sox putting Mike Clevinger on waivers. He'd be a good pick up for the rotation with the for the final 5 weeks. He's pitched pretty well this season.
  12. Alex Cobb gives up a two-out double in the 9th to spoil his no-hitter bid (and shutout bid).
  13. Alex Cobb is throwing a no-hitter thru 8 innings. Reds down 5-0. Dodgers up 7-1 over DBacks in bottom of 5th. Florida lost earlier this evening. Cubs pick up full game on FLA, and possibly CIN and AZ.
  14. Dodgers up 4-0 over AZ in the bottom of the 2nd. Kershaw on the mound. Giants up 5-0 over Cincy in the bottom of the 4th. Alex Cobb going for SF.
  15. I don’t think the Braves are a shoe-in for the top seed. TheDodgers have been on a heater all month and have made up significant ground. LA is 21-4 since August 1 . Atlanta has gone a respectable 16-8, but that’s a 4,5 game swing. And they have a 4-game series IN LA this weekend. I think the Braves ultimately get the 1 seed, but it may come down to the wire.
  16. Syndergaard, de Grom, Harvey, Wheeler, Maatz - this rotation is gonna make the Mets nearly unbeatable.
  17. Okay, I know there’s been some changes/tweaks to the whole “September call-upss“ but I have a few questions. - do the rosters still expand on September 1 ? -I assume it’s just those on the 40. -who realistically would be called? I know I heard PCA mentioned. I’d assume Mervis. What about pitchers? Kay? Estrada? Rucker? -and somewhat related, any idea on Boxberger, Hughes, and Burdi?
  18. How is that even possible??? Was it one of those Oswald rounds?
  19. Week 1 against GB - they’re the National late game on Fox. LAR/SEA is the other Late Fox game. So unless you’re in the LA or SEA viewing area , it should be on. Week 3 at KC - same National late game on Fox up again DAL/AZ. Week 5 is Thursday against WAS Week 8 is Sun night at LAC Week 10 is Thursday against CAR Week 12 is MNF at MIN So there’s most likely 6 games you should be able to watch from the comforts of your couch.
  20. Quite the baseball savants, you and I. That’s what we get for trusting the Reds BP.
  21. That’s not really the Cubs MO, is it?
  22. AZ bullpen very Cub-like this evening. Up 4-1, the pen gave up 1 in the 8th, 2 in the 9th, and so far, 3 in the 10th , and the Reds have a man on and still nobody out. Looks like the Cubs will jump back into the #2 WC spot.
