Hardballtalk sent out a tweet about the no-no and minutes later he lost it.

Got to love the jinx even if you don't believe it.

Just saw on the broadcast that yesterday was the Cubs' 106th game all-time of 15+ innings.

That's the most of any team.

The Braves are back to .500 at 20-20. The offense has picked it up the last two nights. The lineup still needs a bit more pop because at this point they are constantly needing 11-12 hits or more just to score 5 runs. When the bats cool off again, having some more pop in the lineup would be beneficial so that when you have those 6 or 7 hit games it isn't guaranteed you'll only score 2-3 runs at most. Teams like Boston and LAD are able to score 9 runs on 9 hits and that is what you need in this era of baseball.


Of course, all is for naught if the entire pitching staff is not upgraded and continues to be average to below average.

Holy crap LoCain, might wanna lay off the power swing button.

Alright, even as a Cub fan who's glad that play went in our favor...does the blocking rule apply on the bases in addition to home plate?

That's what I was wondering, if there was anything against unintentionally blocking a plate.

You’ve gotten so negative you’re taking wins away from us! We’re 21-20 with today’s win...

You confuse objectivity for negativity... I forgot it was a 4-game series.

This Kris Bryant kid is gonna be alright.

Just heard on the broadcast that not counting Rich Hill, the Cubs first 17 picks in the 2002 Draft contributed a combined 9 innings of Major League service time.

Nick Markakis' game saving catch was insane. Took at least two runs off the board. Amazing.

Like I said before, MLB draft is worst of all leagues.

After all these years, I'm surprised we still haven't seen teams putting more emphasis on developing. Some sports,guys will be a star no matter where they ended up. In baseball, you need that development so much.
