Seems like Heyward is breaking a lot of bats lately, hasn't he?

Maybe I've missed it, but when the umpires check a pitcher coming out of the game, they check his hat and his glove, but I've not seen any of them actually look at his hand.

Top of the fifth, 2 on, nobody out, once again we can't find a guy who can bunt and KB let's the best two pitches to hit go by.

Why is Sutcliffe here? Marquee still doesn't seem to realize that Jim Deshaies is one of the best color guys in the business.

There is a huge feud between Boog and JD, so Sutcliffe has to set between them.

Tied up now in the 7th. Battle of the bullpens. First time as a Cub fan I can remember feeling that is a good thing.

Getting 5 innings with 2 ER from Arrieta feels like a good deal these days.

The Fox announcers for today's game with the Dodgers will be Joe Buck, John Smoltz, and Ken Rosenthal.

Their other game, the Yankees at Red Sox, will have Joe Davis and Eric Karros.    I would have expected those assignments to be reversed.

It’s not who you play but when you play ‘em.

You’re side-stepping what you’ve said previously.

Which is: even if Cubs are in first place just before the trade deadline, Cubs should still trade Bryant, etc. As you concede, however, Cubs will do just the opposite if they continue winning. Which, you say, is a bad thing.

That’s a Cubs Loser mentality grounded in decades of Cubs Losing Fandom Syndrome.

It’s not a bad thing to be in a good place in late July. It’s a GOOD THING.

What I have said many times is that prior to the trading deadline, the Cubs should make their very best offer to Bryant, Rizzo and Baez, and if they refuse to sign, then they should be traded, regardless of how the team is doing at that particular time.

I have also said many times that the Cubs should not trade significant prospects for two month rentals, regardless of how well they are doing at the trade deadline.

You have constantly either sidestepped those contentions, or have conflated the two issues and refuted neither.
