I don’t see anything special about Pat Hughes , radio or TV. He’s fine, but I don’t think there’s really anything extraordinary about him. -
Sox up by a run in the bottom of the 9th. And here's how it unfolds: -error on a simple grounder by T. Anderson -soft hit floater single to left -fielder's choice, out at second -with runners on the corners, Witt lines a double to RF; TIE GAME -lineout to SS, runners still on second and third -IBB to load 'em up -BALK on first attempted pitch, GAME OVER They are horrible and I think they may have mostly given up. Good Luck Chris Getz.

And the 1st inning “HR allowed” fest continues, sans Steele starts.
-
I would prefer Canario’s first big league at bat NOT be during a critical point late in a game. Especially down the stretch run. That’s why I thought a good start would’ve been against a somewhat ordinary left-handed starting pitcher on Saturday. Get his feet wet.

Incidentally, they're 1-0-2 in the three 2-game series. Another net gain in wins over losses.
-
Win 3-game series, and splits in 2 and 4-game series is pretty realistic for most good teams. That an average of a 90-win pace in a season. And the Cubs started 0-2-2 in their first four 4-game sets. Finished 3-0-2 in their five 4 game sets for a respectable 3-2-4. That a net gain in wins over losses.
-
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.
-
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.
-
"Cabbage Leaf" Two words never uttered together in a baseball game until just now. Thanks JD!!
-
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.
-
Smylie gonna see several innings in one of the games. For good or bad.
-
Justin Fields’ make or break camp begins
PackLandVA replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
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. -
So are the waived players who weren’t claimed now fee agents? Can they sign with a team for the min.
-
Just keep winning (and splitting) series.
-
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.
-
Clevinger put on waivers.
-
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.
-
Alex Cobb gives up a two-out double in the 9th to spoil his no-hitter bid (and shutout bid).
-
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.
-
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.
-
Not a Sabre guy, is that bad?
-
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.
-
Syndergaard, de Grom, Harvey, Wheeler, Maatz - this rotation is gonna make the Mets nearly unbeatable.
