That cubs vs mariners game was crazy.Cubs looked dead in the water I can't believe they won that game chisek had a kim(dbacks closer) from the 01 world series collapse

Shouts to contreras hustling on that double play if he was out game over,shouts to rizzo 1 out double that started the rally and shouts to heyward who been struggling offensively all year but got that lead off double that was almost a hr got to 3rd on a sacrifice fly and big ups to lester for laying down the bunt with 2 strikes.
 
i like when managers do unorthodox baseball things

at 1 point in the cubs game lefty long reliever travis wood pitched

then played 1+ innings in lf

made a terrific running catch against the ivy

then returned to the mound to finish the 8th

and to score the winning run lester (.051 hitting pitcher) put down a 2 strike safety squeeze bunt

craziness

in the giants game bochey used bumgarner as a pinch hitter for starter matt cain even though he was throwing a no no through 5

bumgarner hits a double off the wall

and then samardzija pinch runs for bumgarner and scores

what maddon and bochey do is a baseball fans dream

i want to see a postseason series between these two teams

washington killed that melancon deal

they needed a closer

papelbons arm has been shot since coming back from injury

the question was always whether theyd have to give up 1 of their top prospects

a turner

a giolito

a ross

a robles

a lopez

to get it done

they kept those guys and kept michael taylor who is possibly another solid trade chip -- hearn was nats 27th best prospect so given what they paid for melancon and given what the yankees got/were asking for chapman/miller -- washington made the right move -- melancon has been dominant ever since going to the pirates

a 4 years/260.1 inning sample size

130 saves and an era of 1.80 over the past 4 seasons with the pirates

I don't now if you watch cubs games like that but do you remember that game where the cubs ran out of position players vs the reds and maddon had wood playing lf and then switched patton and wood from the mound to lf depending on the batter? Wood played left then a lefty came up,wood faced him and got him then patton faced the right handed batter and they switched again and baez and bryant swiched from 1st to 3b all in the same inning that game was crazy.

yeah i remember that

wood switched with patton

there was another one in milwaukee where the bases were loaded and zero outs late in the game

maddon had braynt and baez switching all over

bryant had to go get an outfield glove to close the inning lol

maddon gets it in so many different ways

shit like that enhances team chemistry (you saw how everyone was laughing)

baseball made fun again

looks like the white sox want

moncada

benintendi

devers

thats what id need in return as well

if theres no moncada then it would probably be best to wait until the offseason

sale is the asset not the other way around

this is kind of a big statement coming from a white sox beat guy

but national baseball guys are saying different

we will see

puig?!?!?!

oh god no

jose abreu is my #1 reason why the white sox have struggled

not robin (close 2nd though)

not the bullpen

they needed that man and hes been garbage all year

i think there is a chance that he is like 40 years old and just done

he seems to have lost enough bat speed to make it possible

NO

MORE

CUBANS

cant trust them
