I guess it’s a coincidence but….

MLB initial salary cap proposal is $245.3

Cubs current CBT payroll (per RR) is $245.11.

Maybe Ricketts is the under-the-radar power guy within MLB.

Cristopher Sanchez's scoreless inning streak ends at 50 2/3 innings, just 8 1/3 innings from Hershiser's record.

He had 2 outs and nobody on in the 7th. Then he gave up a ground ball double that had a .190 expected batting average and another ground ball that was out of Trea Turner's reach.

Logan Webb has a no hitter through 6 innings, but he has thrown 85 pitches. This could get interesting. Teams don't let their pitchers go 125+ pitches for a no hitter anymore. But if anyone was going to get that opportunity, it would be Logan Webb.

In a farm system loaded with talented outfielders, Zyhir Hope still finds a way to stand out. The Dodgers' No. 2 prospect crushed two mammoth homers on Tuesday as he drove in a career-high six...

Twins' Bailey Ober blames elbow woes on slick baseballs at Fenway

Interesting.  There's also a viral video making the rounds which appear to show a disparity in the size of the baseballs.

Jayson Stark @jaysonst
Fastballs at 101 mph or harder:

Jacob Misiorowski:
36 tonight

The entire Phillies staff:
25 all season


It's amazing what Misiorowski is doing right now. But you really have to wonder how long his arm is going to be able to hold up.

@UmpireAuditor
Umpires missed 1,028 calls the week of June 8-14 and had 239 calls overturned.  These were the 10 worst called strikeouts by distance missed.

Pitching perfection is the only thing that can hold these Sox back. Terrible defense at times. But they will hit the ever loving crap out of the ball.

Sox not hitting like the Nationals!

Runs:  Nats 392  Sox 333

Slug:  Nats .422  Sox .412

Iso Power:  Nats 175  Sox 172

wRC+  Nats 107  Sox 105

Actually, thanks to defense, Cubs have the 3rd best position player fWAR in MLB—behind only Dodgers and Yankees.
