Home plate ump has been fantastic

Atta boy AV!!!!!!

They aren't even hitting the ball hard.

14 swing and misses on the slider...12 out of the zone.....wtf

Great pick off. Toronto is heavy right handed. Crochet and Bummer not good match ups.

Guerrero about to put this game away

Why would they? He has not been challenged.

So at what point do they move on from Yermin. Bichette and Vlad are going to hammer the Marshall hanging change up.

But he wants to be in the HR Derby

Abreu needs two more days off horrific at bat

Ruiz looks as good as any RHR that isn't Hendricks

Yermin and Vaughn need to hit LHP or they serve no purpose.

Ray is embarassing this offense.

He is all over Rodon.

Grandal should have been called out 2 pitches earlier.

I almost got into a fistfight with a guy when I told him that statistically Nolan Ryan was an average pitcher. This was in the early 2000's when wins and losses were a leading indicator. Even when not taking wins and losses into account his reality is not as great as his perceived value and I was a huge Nolan Ryan fan until he beat Ventura's ass.

Softest 3,115 hits you will ever see

When MLB level baseball becomes comfortable to he and Vaughn this team will be absolutely devastating offensively.

They better hope the Cardinals get healthy or the Brewers take off because all three look to be around 85-87 wins and the Reds seem to be hanging in there. With Darvish and their current pen they walk away with the division.

The sports media Sox fans (Mully, Bernstein, Holmes, etc) are like this message board. They love the Sox but everything the Sox do is bad and wrong. On the flip side it seems the Cub guys are always finding the silver lining.

The worst possible thing is happening for the cubs. Their superstar free agents are performing to a level they had not recently but they do not have the pitching to sustain this. Not sure their bullpen performance is sustainable but their rotation certainly is not playoff caliber.

Great win. Cease settled in nicely. Pen was good sans that one inning. That is a great accomplishment.

The was a well played game.

The offense has been pretty poor this whole series. One nice inning in 3 games is it for the most part.
