I've seen almost every game Jake Arrieta has pitched since the start of last season..... 43 Starts 31-6 1.76 era I'm the ultimate die-hard Cubs fan.....but Clayton Kershaw is THE Best Pitcher in baseball.

Re: May 20th Gameday Thread
Two rule changes that could go into effect as soon as 2017. First, the intentional walk is going to become automatic. No more watching a pitcher throw four wide ones. No more seeing the Giants freak out when Joe Ferguson clearly leaves the batter's box to poke a game winning hit to right field. Sin...

Re: Odor
I'm not saying Joey Bats is all innocent...... On the other hand, he has walked to the plate 33 times over 7 games this year just waiting to be hit by a pitch. When it finally came, he took his beaning and went to first.... he didn't charge the mound. Then he went in hard at second to break up the d...

Re: April 26th Gameday Thread
McCutchen has three homers in a game. The Atlanta Braves have three homers this season. I don't have to tell everyone that that's bad!! But I would like to add some context to that number. The Braves are "on pace" for 24 HR's this season. I think that obviously they won't just hit 24, so lets doubl...

Re: New Chicago White Sox Announcer
I think as a general rule, if you are a fan of a particular team, you prefer when that team plays at home. That's especially true in my case. My team, the Cubs, play in THE most beautiful baseball stadium in the major leagues. Of course here in Chicago we have two teams. So basically, when one of th...

I would enjoy Sunday Night Baseball twice as much if they just had the excellent Dan Shulman and Jessica Mendoza, whom I'm starting to really like more and more each week, as the only two in the booth.
