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?

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    hack wilson, ryne sandberg, sammy sosa, christopher morel, and michael busch.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.

    Best hitter: IL with oblique strain

    Second best hitter: hasn’t looked the same since jamming his right hand during a swing

    Third best hitter: playing through a sore hammy

    Best pitcher: IL after one start 

    Second best RP: IL after 1.5 weeks

    suzuki 10d IL.

    right oblique strain.  ow.  that's generally more than a 10d thing.

    Seiya on IL with an oblique strain

    cooper and morel are on the field doing pre-game stuff so it's not them...

    I'll always remember his 3-0 No-hitter against the Braves when Aaron's HR was blown back into the LF well and BIlly Williams made the catch with his back against the ivy.
