The braves graphic says jaime is the 5th braves pitcher to hit a grand slam, but only the 4th braves pitcher to get 4 rbis in a game. How does that make sense? Am I missing something.

Fact of the Day: Yankees used Nick Swisher's draft pick compensation to select Aaron Judge.

Big comeback win for the Cubbies today with 3 in the bottom of the 8th after the Cards scored 2 to end a scoreless tie.

Sidenote: Ice Cubs sang my favorite rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" today. He basically just yelled into the mic the whole time and it was fantastic.

4-year anniversary for one of the greatest catches I've seen to end a game; gosh, I miss this guy.

I must say...

If there's ever been a catcher I'd say replicates Mike Pizza behind the dish defensively, it's Tyler Flowers.

Flowers is one of the 4 or 5 best pitch framers in the game. Piazza's only ability as a catcher was mostly keeping the ball from going to the backstop.

Idk...anything he may help do in framing is completely washed out by his fielding, blocking and arm.

His pitch framing is fantastic...he steals SO many pitches for our pitchers. Watch his technique...he's the only catcher I've ever seen do this, but he doesn't set a target. He starts with the glove in the dirt and moves the glove up to the pitch. In this way, it never looks like the pitcher has "missed" his target.

I agree, however, on his other defensive skills. Definitely below average, but I'll take his bat plus his pitch framing. It's been nice to have something at catcher after 3 years of Gattis/Betancourt/Pierzysnki.

Brett Gardner shouldn't have this much power lol. His power numbers have blown me away this year.
