I don't think the breakthrough cases are bullshit. I think they're real cases but they're extremely mild because the vaccine is very effective at preventing illness even when the virus gets through.

I think there's still another shoe to drop on the Kimbrel trade. I think some team out there will really want a closer upgrade in the off season and make a good trade offer for him. Kimbrel could turn into that good left-handed bat that would fit nicely in the lineup.

What I love about Jason is that he brings the experience of having been a White Sox fan his entire life. Most PBP guys work for teams they had no connection to before getting hired.

I would give the White Sox and Brewers the best odds to win the WS because they're the highest odds to win their divisions. All the other teams are still fairly susceptible to the 1 and done wild card game.

That's not baseball fever that's spreading through the Yankees.

No, he called the games from NBC Sports studios in Connecticut, but a plane trip of any length is a ripe place to catch COVID.

Normal international soccer tournaments have 23 player rosters. Not sure if they Olympics is the same. Women qualified for basketball 3x3 and men didn't so that's 4 more. There must have been a few sports where the women qualified the max number of individuals and the men didn't

Now it's safe for Ruiz to pitch.

So if the ball is headed over the fence it's worth a shot.

Jerry owns the station.

After the 45th pitch in an inning anything close is a strike.

In case you weren't already aware, a shit ton of tornado warnings in the W and NW burbs right now. Heading for Cook County and at least one of the tornadoes is very dangerous.

Looks like these are going to be non-exclusive games, ones where the local rights holder also gets to broadcast, so I really don't care what they do.

Last 30 days OPS vs RHP: Vaughn .946 Engel .821 Garcia .476 Being left-handed does NOT make Leury Garcia a better option than Vaughn or Engel vs RHP

You never have to play more than 3 days in a row in the playoffs so I see no need to keep 13 pitchers. Should be no problem having a 14th position player.

Sheets was sent down to create the major league roster spot, and Gonzalez was released to create the 40-man roster spot.

I think Lamb stays until the minor league season is over and then Sheets replaces him.

I looked 5 different places on Google and none of them said anything about whether or not someone in the minors can be put on the 60 day IL.

Who is less likely to get claimed, Rutherford or Burr?

Anderson 6 Hernandez 4 Abreu 3 Jimenez DH Moncada 5 Robert 8 Vaughn 7 Engel 9 Collins 2

If he gets used in the playoffs, it will be with a 5 run lead (or deficit) like tonight.

Do Chuck and Ozzie still do a postgame show on NBCSC when the game's on another network?

You may want to turn off your TV now.

Lynn is pretty well expanded already.
