Cubs won 7-2 last night with Drew Smyly picking up the win to go 5-1.








Gorgeous weather with temps right around 70F at first pitch. Seats behind the Cubs dugout.








Guy one seat in front of us in the Swanson jersey caught a stray foul ball.








Right outside stadium is very densely urban w/ lots of sports bars and the L Train stops in the distance.

My fav baseball movie is Bull Durham, my favorite scene is when he says "Yeah, I've been in the show." and then talks about the difference between .250 and .300.

The Braves' broadcast crew last night was:

Tom Glavine
John Smoltz
Larry Jones
Jeff Francouer (who is in the Georgia HS football HoF).

And they won in a walk off.  Smoltz was talking pregame about how they had two top level starters going, and how many times does that result in a score like 13-11!  Ha ha ha.

The final was 13-10.

I could see this happening. I miss that kind of pitching. No clock required for this guy.

49 years ago today, Nolan Ryan strikes out 19 batters, walks 10 and throws 235 pitches in 13 innings for the California Angels against the Boston Red Sox but settles for a no-decision.
The Angels eventually win 4-3 in 15 innings.
Luis Tiant pitches 14 1/3 innings for the Sox and takes the loss.

I hope no one here is a Mets fan, otherwise we're all happy at least to see their attempt to buy a pennant so far flail badly.

The Mets are the Mets.  They can't help it.  And it's hilarious.

Per ESPN Stats & Info, "Shohei Ohtani has his 150th career MLB home run. He required the 4th-fewest games played (652) to reach 150 HR and 75 SB in MLB history, trailing only: Willie Mays (598), Jose Canseco (630) and Alex Rodriguez (646)."

An Ohtani stat from a few days ago:  has hit the most HRs in MLB and thrown the 2nd-most Ks.  Simultaneously.

Vernon Wells:  $126 million
Justin Upton:  $106 million
Albert Pujols:  $240 million
Josh Hamilton:  $125 million
.
They signed several other ordinary players to bloated contracts after rogue-wave All-Star appearances (Matthews Jr, Cozart).
Also, they seemed incapable of signing anyone who was in their prime and actually performed.  You could argue Wells and Upton were bad luck, but it's as if a guy wasn't even on their radar unless he was 30+ and his best was obviously behind him.  As if Artie Moreno thought everyone aged like Barry Bonds, lol.
And who could've predicted a former addict would do poorly after getting paid 100 millon bucks?!?
AND none of the above are pitchers, lol.  That's the position you fear most with injury risk, but oh well.
