On the bright side, it doesn't take you long to click ignore for all of the Bills fans here.

I didn't think you could ignore an admin?

 

And I still don't like Frank Wycheck.

IT WAS A FORWARD PASS

Tonight has to be like the 4th or 5th time this year Arrieta has had a no-hitter after 5 innings.

Thanks Brandon Phillips

Just turned it on, first batter I see is Phillips, who breaks it up.

So who is Arrieta getting traded for this winter? Carlos Correa? Francisco Lindor?

Steve Tasker...just because it's tiring how many times you hear, "the difference in this game will come down to special teams" in nearly every single NFL broadcast

What a bad trade by Baltimore even considering where they are now it was still a really bad trade.

They were going to lose both Arrietta and Strop to DFA/waivers anyways. May as well have gotten something for him instead of outright letting them go.

Cubs leaving Kane County for South Bend.

 

Wish the Sox had a nearby affiliate, but I know they like having the full season teams near each other.

Going to have to reevaluate the annual kids/grandparents SilverHawks outing.

And more importantly they really do utilize the ability to move players around as needed during the season.

Cubs scored 3 in the first off Kershaw? That's unpossible.

 

Edwin Jackson didn't make it out of the first. What a terrible pitcher.

Edwin Jackson and their bullpen are ideal for what the cubs need nowadays.

South Side Sox ‏@SouthSideSox 25m

 

First two seasons: Edwin Jackson w/Cubs: 14-32, 5.47 ERA, 70 ERA+ Jaime Navarro w/Sox: 17-30, 6.05 ERA, 74 ERA+

Look at the bright side on Jackson, with such a short outing he will be ready to go again in a few days. :)

But his xFIP.........

 

It has been 5 seasons and 4 teams since Jackson"s actual results have been better than his advanced. Makes me think there is a pattern here.

Baez 0 for 5 with 3 k's and seven lob.

 

At least soler looks legit...they need for Russell to be too so they can leverage him or Castro for pitching help.

Damn, I didn't realize that in 199 at bats, Baez had only 32 fricking hits. That's .161 with 90 strikeouts and .223 OBP. Nine homers. I don't follow the Cubs so I was wondering how his start is going over in Chicago? Is he still considered an amazing prospect? That's a frightening start to his career. Wow.

I wonder if they would trade him for Addison Reed?

He's considered an immensely talented prospect and always has been. The key will be whether or not he can adjust and catch up to the heat or if he's always going to be a .200 hitter (if that). Soler and Bryant are much, much safer bets long term.

I'm surprised that the fastball is such a big issue for him as quick as his bat is.

And people wonder why I always repeat myself and act the way I do on here.

His load time is really long though too.

Theo doesn't sound too optimistic about TV money enhancing his budget before 2020.
