With the Pirates beating the Dodgers tonight, the Cubs now have the third best record in the National League, as well as in the NL Central.

And the 4th best record in baseball, all while having played one of the toughest schedules to date. #thingsyouwouldntrealizereadingthetodaysgamethread

Strange ending to the Arizona win over Cincinnati on Sunday

With the score tied 3-3, The Diamondbacks had the bases loaded with one out in the bottom of the 10th.   A line drive was hit over the centerfielder's head "ending the game".

Now watch the replay (after a brief commercial)

http://m.mlb.com/news/article/142241418/reds-lose-after-confusing-walk-off-ending

The replay clearly shows the runner on first never made it to second and the guy on second headed to the celebration before reaching third.  My first thought was that the appeal by the Reds was denied because they tagged second before third, removing the force double play.  And did the security guy tossing the ball in make any difference?


Here's the key paragraph

Quote
But the Official Baseball Rules book is pretty explicit on this issue with less than two outs. Rule 5.08(b) in the 2015 edition, 4.09(b) in previous versions, states that on any play in that situation with the bases full "which forces the runner on third to advance, the umpire shall not declare the game over until the runners forced from third has touched home and the batter-runner has touched first base."

I've never heard of that part of the rule before.

Really fascinating article on Alex Wood, and how going from one of the worst pitch framers to one of the best may be helping him: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/alex-wood-is-finding-his-strikeouts-again/

So...regarding Utley...the Giants can block the Dodgers, who can block the Cubs...right?

I guess Toronto could be interested in Utley as well, depending on Travis's health...
