Yo!

Good job by the ump not getting K happy

Nice, TA. Any pasta you want.

Must score. Duh.

8-seed here we come

I already know I enjoy watching him pitch over Cease and Giolito. Doesn’t mean he’s better, but he’s got a delivery I like watching.

Whatever works for you, but how do those glasses not fog up?

Good call

Nasty inning. Please stay healthy.

Going to the 12th in Minnesota. I thought the new rule was supposed to end these games faster.

Tie ballgame in Minnesota

May happen.

Nice to get the first two and thoroughly enjoy Dunning/Mize. Hope it’s a good game...and Robert is ok.

If it goes 3-0, swing Danny.

Maeda no hitter thru 8. 113 pitches. Go for it!

Nice job, Heuer.

Good outing. Calm down.

I want Cease to be able to make 32 starts and throw 210 innings someday.

We’ll see. It’s going to be NonTenderPalooza this offseason in MLB.

Surprise call up, Crochet? Vaughn? Clayton Richard?!!!

In a way, I feel bad for the guy. New team, was doing well in March, season on hold, gets Covid or Strep, works out with minor leaguers in suburban Chicago, and then he’s gotta come up and get it done now! Now, that’s part of the game, and the game can be cruel, but I feel under normal circumstances, he could have had a productive season. Now it’s looking like one and done in Chicago.

For the most part, fans think it’s ok to swing 3-0 when you’re up big. Hear that managers? That unwritten rule is gone. Glad we settled that.

And real talk here...if Tatis took a 3-0 fastball down broadway, nobody would have flinched. Is it outdated in today’s scoring environment? Yes, I’d say so. Star players should let it rip. But up big in the 8th, bases loaded, 3-0 count, that’s been a standard take for decades. People need to understand the human being part of this equation. Now, maybe Tatis “changed the game” last night. But if Tingler asks his backup catcher to take a pitch in the same situation, he should do it.
