I was going through my phone and remembered I took this shot at a Twins v A's game a week or so ago.



They did a 4-man outfield against Khris Davis which I thought was cool. Also those were some primo seats for $30/tix.

So it's on the wire that Ryan Howard retired from baseball and I have to confess I already thought that was the case.

That year that he hit eleventy million dingers was pretty awesome, thanks for that Ryan, it was fun.

All hail Ryan Howard, the true HR King

The Cubs did a 5-man infield yesterday with Cain and Yelich in the 9th, which I thought was dumb, but then I realized with Broxton on third, anything in the outfield that's not catchable by the infielders is likely going to score him, fly or on the ground.

Remember somebody doing this against the Braves allowing a walk off from Brandon Phillips when he just dribbles one up the middle and the shortstop and fifth guy each think the other's getting it.

I hate when pitchers struggle immediately after their team gives them some runs.

Oops thought this was game day thread.

Just a brief skim shows 2 sites call it a "brawl" and another site calls it a "skirmish".

Which suggests a skirmish between brawlers.

In actuality it was probably guys losing their poo poo playing fortnite

O'Neill's fighting style is to put both his fists out and spin around in a circle like that move Zangief has in Street Fighter. It's too powerful nobody would be able to stop him.

Joe Musgrove's power went out Monday night so he went over to Francisco Cervelli's place and Cervelli made him arepas

Then he guided Musgrove through 6 1/3 with 2 runs and 8 K's last night

Does he pronounce his name with a hard "ch"? He's got a good opportunity to include some Egyptian weaponry iconography into his brand.

It could help the Cards/Cubs by being able to win those games and gain ground or get ahead more.

Somehow the Cubs still have two days off. Cards have three days off. Brewers have every Thursday off this month (four days).
