His finisher is called Bunt Force Trauma

Murphy wasn't claimed by Dodgers

I will say that Theo getting Hamels and Murphy for basically 9 million dollars and nothing in terms of actual prospects is ridiculous.

I don't get how their record is so poor. I was watching their game last night and it seems they have 11 or 12 above average "name" hitters on their roster. I hope they get into NL Wild Card and play Cubs in NLDS.

Murphy has a great bat, but besides the last few weeks, their offense has been good and their defense absolutely great. He's a huge downfall in terms of up the middle defensive ability. With that said, I don't know why the Rockies didn't claim him to play first base.

Because Dicaro keeps brings up his homophobic comments from the past.

Heyman reporting Harper's not being traded.

you can trade someone not on the 40 man roster. Dodgers could have enough in their minor league system to make this tempting for Nationals. Guys like Lux and Ruiz might not be on the 40 man?

Or they're just going to bench Russell, who has almost as many kids as he does home runs.

let's hope he's the new-aged Jeff Blauser.....once a Cubs killer, always a Cubs killer

Would also be a nice boost to the morale of the fan base, especially casual ones that want to get interested again but have been disappointed by what they've seen at the big league level so far.

Most electric pitching debut I've ever seen with Strasburg's. Here's hoping for something special.

Have a feeling this is going to be a very interesting Tuesday.

Some twitter speculation the Cubs claimed Daniel Murphy. For the most part,'their fans on twitter are not happy at the possibility given his comments in the past.

Where was Nicholas to help Braun?

Anyone know the stats we have this year from the DH? Not their combined because there have been games they both played.

That Merkin tweet made me check the weather. Doesn't look great, does it?

Hey nice escape!

Engel with a clinic on how not to play the wall. Lucas is clearly gassed

Nice recovery down 3-0

And swings a bit like Willie Harris also

Since Yoan's debut from last year for me

When you have arguably the worst fastball value in all of baseball for a starter, you're not close to being great.

I think only Parkman and Giolito's parents think he's great.

My god that might be the worst pitch Giolito has thrown this year. Can't be making simple mistakes like that with 2 outs and 2 strikes.
