    Because he's on the Cubs? Because he's a star player? Because he has no past history of any bad behavior? Because there's no precedent for a suspension of this type? Please do enlighten us.

      Carl Edwards Jr. in and he has some pretty amazing numbers...he's given up just 12 hits in 29.1 IP this season. A 3.68 H/9 is pretty ridiculous; I can't recall seeing a rate so low. Chapman-esque. If his control (4.03 BB/9) was a bit better, he'd be an upper echelon closer instead of a setup guy.

        Kemp's ground rule double may end up hurting the Braves here, the bounce at least, if Suzuki doesn't drive in another run or two. Phillips had a good chance at scoring from first, but had to stop at 3rd by rule.

          Cardinals put a 7 spot on the board in the Top of the 11th. Surely our bullpen can hold a 7 run lead only needing 3 outs.

            How do Yankees fan watch games this guy pitches? I was watching some of the Yankees game before the Jays game started and my goodness...He's the most frustrating pitcher to watch on the mound. When things aren't going well he's incredibly slow and looks like he's in physical pain just to throw a pitch. The top of the 1st was nearly a full half hour long!

              I've been Justin Grimm's harshest critic for a while, but he was surgical tonight preserving the 4-0 lead in the 9th. Even the "balls" he threw were right on the black according to the pitch tracker.

              Cubs are actually playing some complete ball these last few games.

                  Bellinger I mean.

                  We need a Bellinger vs. Judge face off in the Home Run Derby.

                    As I understand it MLB has not suspended a player for a violation of the collision rule since it was implemented.

                    I would like to know what is the reasoning behind this.
                    Probably because it's a dumb *** rule that was implemented to placate the people who demanded SOMETHING(TM) be done in the wake of the Posey injury.

                      It's actually kind of cool being in Denver right now with the Rockies playing so well. They've sucked every year since I moved out here, so everyone is always locked in on the Broncos.

                      While it sucks that tickets are a bit more expensive now, it's cool to see the city paying more attention to baseball.

                      I don't remember hearing much about people asking for something, but if they were it should've been to teach Posey how to properly receive the throw. He put himself in such an awkward position with his legs that ended up causing that injury.

                      That being said, Rizzo did kind of go out of his way to slide into the catcher. There was a big lane there to the plate where he could've gone in straight and avoided any contact.

                        The play that Holland made to end the DBacks/Rockies game was really good. He made a pretty difficult play look quite easy.

                            Your daily reminder that Nolan Arenado is ****ing amazing. Arizona puts up runs? No problem, Arenado triple to get them back and puts them ahead for good.

                              I read Judge doesn't want to participate.
