This is what happens when $$ speaks louder than anything. It’s too bad communism sucks, cuz capitalism certainly doesn’t care about my heart and my baseball team.

This is true. At the same time, I mourn the idea that my kids will probably never witness anything like Robin Yount. Maybe it's worth re-extending Chourio someday soon. The trend away from single-team, whole-career superstars sucks, and it is made more of a certainty in the current system.

I wonder i̶f̶ w̶e̶ c̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ b̶e̶ s̶u̶c̶c̶e̶s̶s̶f̶u̶l̶ how many times we will be using Woody every third time through the order and just having him go on the IL in between starts.

The Dodgers’ pitchers rose to the moment. I’d argue that Snell, Yamamoto, and Ohtani (offense included) had 95th percentile or better games. Glasnow was probably 80th percentile. Certainly, the Crew’s offensive approach has to be considered in those pitcher outcomes, but the way those guys were placing pitches and not throwing waste pitches was surgical. Put together some squishy math on three 95th percentile outcomes and one 80th percentile and you’re looking at a 1 in 40,000 probability of that sort of confluence of pitching excellence. If you’re willing to call Snell, Yoshi, and Ohtani’s starts 99th percentile games, then you’re quickly looking at a 1 in a million outcome for the Dodgers. Their pitchers just rose to the moment in a collective fashion that is wildly improbable, and the Brewer hitters couldn’t match it.

Also eastern TZ. My 9yo fell asleep during the 3rd on Monday. My 12yo made it to the 7th. hopefully the crew puts up a lotta runs before they fall asleep.

I don't watch much football, so at first when I read this, I was very concerned about what "MLF milking" was.

But... When will Matt Arnold start to receive some criticism?

Only 3 Cub baserunners in innings 3-9. The Trebnered Mearsorowstrick was amazing tonight.

Greg should have outmaneuvered us and started Rea and Civale.

Isn't there a site that has them available mid-game? Can anyone help with that?

TBS Put the second best person on the matchup that the coastal elites are watching. Jesus and St. Peter put Uecker on the game they're watching.

I think my biggest frustration with Darling and whoever is that Anderson and Francoeur are SOOOOOOO much better. I have the radio synched up with TBS muted.

It's definitely confirmation bias, but I didn't like the idea of leaving Luzardo in there again for the 7th. Just trust your pen, man. Another trip through that lineup is begging to get beat up.

You spoke too soon. Atlanta scored again!

I hear you, but I think the current Cubs are them regressing toward the mean from an over-their-heads start to the year.
