murphy is nice and all, but not having a good place to play him sucks.  baez the 3rd baseman isn't great stuff and murphy the 2nd baseman is average on the best of days.

Kyle with 6 Ks, 0 BBs thru 4 innings ... with 3 unearned runs.

Now 4 runs, 1 earned - 3 runs scored with two outs.  Nats not missing the mistakes.

CHC fans quickly learning why a guy who played for KC for 4 season without a hit was so popular...

The Carl Jr 8th inning, close game experience consistently leaves me queasy - where's my Dramamine?

Big W -- gotta win the non-Max games.  Plus, they had to be tired -- supposedly got in very late, and this is their 5th city in 9 days.  On the confidence graph, the Justin Wilson and Carl Edwards lines keep going in opposite directions.

Bote's clearly bought himself a playoff roster spot with his late-game heroics. But how will they use him, assuming Bryant is healthy?

Also, in whatever AL games are left, do you DH Schwarber or Murphy?

    busch is having a really intense k-filled mini slump.  he deserves better after coming back to wrigley after that hot road trip.

    i know alzolay isn't having a great time right now, but i trust hector "ball 4" neris even less than alzolay based on what i've seen coming out of their arms.

    Neris reminds me of Don “Full Pack” Stanhouse.

    Happ, Busch, Dansby and Madrigal have a combined 25 runners left on base through 7 innings, with Busch accounting for 9 of those.  Seems like a lot.

    PCA finally gets a hit!  2r HR!!!

    They certainly could be coupled. It could also be the case that a team needs good players at the heart of the team and if they are not coming from one source (development) they have to be sought out elsewhere. I don't see the evidence needed to infer the cause.

    bases loaded for the cubs, 0 out...and no runs score.

    cubbery.

    Walker was a complimentary piece who was well past his prime. Edmonds, Holliday, Ozzie Smith and a few others were good trades. Notably, they have almost always been quiet in the free agent market. But the fundamental workings of the organization were always based primarily upon the constant output of a well oiled minor league organization. That organization has ground to a halt. And when did that hard stop start to happen? Right at the beginning of the Goldschmidt/Arenado era, perpetuated by the Contreras signing, followed by the rotation purchases during the last offseason. The timing is undeniable and, in my mind, not coincidental.

    Again, we are all saying that player development became deemphasized. I’m just linking it directly to the recent trades and involvement in the free agent market. I don’t see how the two concepts can be decoupled.

    The Cards also traded for both Jim Edmonds and Larry Walker. It's the developing part that has fallen off. Of course, it could also be the case that there are no more Matt Carpenters left to pull out of the hat.

    Cubs sign 28 yr old RHRP Daniel Missaki. He was in MiLB from his 17yr old to 19yr old years and did pretty well.
    He's been in Mexico and Japan the last four years and has done well also.
    He's supposedly Japanese and Brazilian.
    Interesting sign. We obviously need to RP in the system
    Injuries are mounting everywhere!!
