That wasn't even close to a dinger :mad:

Welp TLS is physically incapable of dingers, so a double down the line maybe?

Acuña's down to .260. Scrub. Bust. Send his rear end to gwinnett.

The dingers suddenly faded as soon as Q got taken out of the game. I wonder if there's a correlation. :thunk:

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
I don’t understand how Carle has been this good.

As much as I hate to say it Moylan is by far the weak link in the bullpen. Overall the pen has been spotty but still overperforning.

I can't decide if the Cubs are going to make it interesting but ultimately not score, or if they're just going to go quietly 1-2-3 on some pop ups and weak grounders.
