I can't wait till Josh Hader is a SP and hopefully that begins next year.

Seems like that should probably begin in 5 days

If he can throw enough strikes. Him walking nearly 6 batters per game isn't going to fly as a SP. He's getting by doing just that in the bullpen. For the time being anyway...A 0.90 ERA with a 3.65 FIP/4.97 xFIP is screaming for a correction.

Good find, I didn't know it was the bad. Hopefully, he will straighten that around by next season.

Haniger ended up walking away on his own, although he suffered a serious cut on his lip that will result in DL time (obviously). Probably gonna need plastic surgery too, at least that's what people are saying

Not sure if this Brewers/Cubs series has great pitching or terrible hitting.

2-1 score games on Friday and Saturday and still scoreless in the 5th today.

Regardless, all the games are much closer than I thought coming into the series.

Jon Jay has been a thorn in the side of the Brewers forever.

In a battle of pitiful offenses at Miller Park, the Cubs break through for a run in the 6th inning. 1-0, Cubs. Might have to lower the mound after this series is over. Or go to a 4 ball/4 strike system.


EDIT: Addy makes it a 2-0 game with the Cubs' 4th consecutive 2-out base hit here in the 6th.

EDIT 2: Domingo Santana ties it with a 2-run HR in the bottom 6.

The Braves are returning to reality. About to lose again to the Phillies. This team was never a wild card contender and is still a couple years out from being one.

Re: 7/14 - 7/30 Game Discussion Thread

Victor Caratini and Kris Bryant with solo homers to put the Cubs back on top, 4-2. It's Caratini's 1st MLB homer and he started at 1B for Rizzo (sore back). Could Rizzo be getting Wally Pipp'd? lol

Congrats to future Hall of Famer Adrian Beltre on hit # 3000 today.

Half the stadium left.
It's probably hottest day of the year so far, so of course if people have a reason to leave early they'll take it.

Biggest part of the comeback....If you're down 10-4 in bottom of the 9th, would you think the team not only comes back, but wins the game with a walkoff grandslam? By the same guy(Steve Pearce) who did it TWICE in one week! I think he might be the first player ever to get multiple walkoff grandslams in MLB history.
