Jonny Venters got a save today. His first since August 2011.

Braves could use him.

I see nothing wrong with Anthony Rizzo's slide. Maybe if we didn't have dumb *** catcher slide nonsense rules to keep track of it wouldn't be such an issue.

Acuna should be kept out until the All-Star Break just to be safe.

Cardinals had a chance to cut into the lead of the division against the Brewers, but failed.

5 games out currently.

Hopefully we can still take the series and cut the lead to 3 games.

I don't know, I smell sweep and the lead is 7. lol.

I can't wait to see how the Brewers do when Thames and Nelson return.

Don't mind you guys starting strong as long as you finish like last year.

Re: 5/21 - 6/3 Game Discussion Thread

Source indicates the league believes interference should have been called yesterday re Anthony Rizzo's 8th inning slide at home plate. Both teams have been informed of that decision which differs from the call on the field and the umpires video review.

Well that helps clean things up. Umps on the field and in the booth aren't league representatives? I thought that was their job.

Yeah I don't really see the point. It's not like coming back and saying this after the fact is gonna appease anyone who thought it was dirty. 2 runs still scored on the play and the Cubs still won the game.

Nor is it going to change the possibility that Rizzo gets drilled tonight.

For how TERRIBLE the Brewers looked in April with their offense, defense, etc...boy if they look good now. Their bullpen is top-notch...I expect them to go after a starter at the deadline.

Glad to see Rhys Hoskins avoided any major damage while fouling a ball off his face:
