HEYWARD!!!!!!!!!! 6-3 Cubs. This has been a good half inning.

I dumped Alexander in fantasy just in time.

I'm skeptical that Kintzler can continue to be really effective having lost so much off his fastball, but at least he seems to have remembered he used to be a strike thrower.

Great play by Baez, and great scoop by Rizzo.  Grounder deep in the hole, very long throw, but the speed with which he got the ball from glove to hand to throw was fabulous. 

I'm old enough to remember Shawon Dunston and his rocket arm.  But I have this memory that he routinely used or needed a plant and a hop to unleach the rockets.  Rey Sanchez didn't throw it as hard or impressively, but actually got it from glove to Grace more quickly.

It's not just that Baez is a really good SS.  It's that he's clearly hitting better since he stopped being moved around so much.  And there's no compelling case that Russell should be playing everyday anyway, given his output the last two seasons.  And that's not even acknowledging the elephant in the room.

But - Joe said "Addy is my SS" so...

Cishek gives up a 3-run job to some mouth-breather...

Addison has a better glove than Javy not to mention just 3 years ago he also had over 20 HRs and damn near 100 RBIs.
