On This Day:



I Miss Baseball

The Bulls haven’t punched in the the 4th yet.

29 to 6!! Lmao

So a late 10 point lead choked opening night. Then a late 8 point lead choked away tonight. Great work.

Nagy is so dumb. Why kneel when you can get it closer? Pineiro already missed a close kick.

Not sure how this reward is decided but these dudes were not the best relievers in their leagues.

Since 1961 there have been 6 sets of expansions. My question is if you picked a team to follow from day 1 which team would you have enjoyed more and will enjoy more in the future? Any criteria can be used championships, players, stadium, overall competitiveness, ownership, fanbase, etc. You choose w...

Thanks Joe

Also, can anyone explain why a delay of game penalty, followed by an offsides penalty leads to a 2 point conversion attempt from the 1? Shouldn’t the offsides have negated the first penalty leading to a 2 point conversion try from the 2? Or could it have been half the distance from the goal, thus a...

Let's be honest - they did not call the TO in time. Yeah I definitely don’t think they did and probably a bad play by whatever defender touched him down (I think? I forget if “giving yourself up” to be down is a thing) It is a thing. As soon as Robinson purposely goes down a timeout can go into eff...

Bilasport stream is usually pretty consistent

Can interpret this a bunch of ways but man he’s setting up that bouncing Maddon will be the big move with a few roster tweaks and adds and basically run it back, isn’t he? https://twitter.com/espnchicubs/status/1172598193223274498?s=21 I know it’s “just” twitter and we all mess up time to time blah...

Theo and Jed shortened the bench so Joe will stop pinch hitting for pitchers throwing shutouts at around 90 pitches or less.

Molina comes back and catches a 4 hit shut-out and then Flaherty goes right into talking about having Molina back in the post game on the field. He almost no hit the Cubs with Wieters catching him who also hit a 3 run homer to ensure the rest of the game was minimum stress. You are talking about th...

Yeah after he got doubled off multiple times and made the excuse about the signs. Like I said don’t be ignorant. We all know what happened.

It was more than that. Don’t be ignorant. Did he get sent down for his .798 OPS as a starter or the .800+ OPS he had the month leading up to getting sent down? Part of it was the play at 2nd against the Pirates where he threw home and took none of the blame, which is a main issue they wanted him to...

It was a 122 after yesterday game, but will go up again after today. In today's game he homered for the 3rd game in a row going 1-for-2 with a pair of HBP. His OPS on the year in Iowa is .987 which leads the team even better than Robel, and in 14 games sent getting sent down .362/.441/.702/1.143. O...

Also, just glanced at FG & saw Russell with a 111 wRC+ during his time at Iowa this year. #prettymehh It was a 122 after yesterday game, but will go up again after today. In today's game he homered for the 3rd game in a row going 1-for-2 with a pair of HBP. His OPS on the year in Iowa is .987 w...

Yep There was 1 out a man on 3rd and Baez on deck who was 0-2 with 2ks. We were out of relief pitchers and Lester had 2 strikes on him. Yeah, he could’ve fouled out, but if he gets in play it’s game over. It wasn’t even a great bunt and Heyward scored. A stupid horsefeathering call is a little dram...

I mean, we won the game, but damn was that a stupid horsefeathering call from Maddon. What was? The bunt? Yep There was 1 out a man on 3rd and Baez on deck who was 0-2 with 2ks. We were out of relief pitchers and Lester had 2 strikes on him. Yeah, he could’ve fouled out, but if he gets in play it’s...

I was there too and I can't believe you even have to consider whether you're remembering correctly since it's to this day the most memorable regular-season game of the current era. (Matusz gave up a 2-run homer in each of the first 3 innings.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MljLIunexEI I mean, we ...
