They don't get much closer than that!

I'll take it. The Cubs need to find some answers among all these question marks in the bullpen. Especially now that Kimbrel is going back on vacation.

I never knew injured players sit in the crowd. A few Jays players rehabbing in Florida got tickets to the Jays vs Rays game. Just randomly sitting in the crowd watching the game.

Commentators just ripping the crowd. "A ball went to the empty seats. Only 1 fan is nearby. He's going home with a souvenir."

And Bo Bichette extending his hit streak to start career to 9 games!

Just tuned into Cubs-A's and almost wish I hadn't.

Lester is basically a machine, but has one or two of these games per season.

Re: 8/5 - 8/18 Game Discussion Thread

Bo Bichette becomes fastest player in MLB history to reach 10 extra base hits in his career. Doing so in 9 games.

Uh, we may have found something here. Duane Underwood Jr. has faced 6 batters so far and has struck them all out swinging. This has been one of the better relief appearances I've seen all season.

And so beginneth the comeback?

Re: 8/5 - 8/18 Game Discussion Thread

Taylor Davis pitching and Schwarber catching. All in all this is as about as pleasant of a blowout I have seen in a while, some fun stuff

Re: 8/5 - 8/18 Game Discussion Thread

And the A's are taking HACKS out there

Re: 8/5 - 8/18 Game Discussion Thread

Some quality TV right here. A battery of Taylor Davis pitching and Kyle Schwarber catching. Getting out of a bases loaded no-out jam in the 9th to a raucous standing ovation at Wrigley Field.

I haven't seen such wide ****-eating grins on baseball players in quite some time.

I don't understand why he's not gotten a shot since his start in LA last year. Yeah he was erratic, but he was effective. I've been wanting him to get another chance, so hopefully they'll use him a bit more and see what he's got.
