In last night's Reds-Cardinals game Chapman came in to pitch the ninth inning. His FB was 100+; his "change up" was 90 mph.

George Springer started slowly with the Astros but his two homer night tonight is just part of his recent hot hitting. He looks mighty good. Just wait until old friends Singleton and Santana get to the big club.

Then the Astros will be good and we'll finally pick first in the draft. Amaro's grand plan is coming together nicely.

And Kim Ng and her two phones will grab all the credit.

The Red Sox are 20-28. The Rays are 22-28. The Pirates are 22-26.

Randy Wolf is starting for the Fish today. Down 5-0 in the second already. Two errors behind him as his team mates don't like him.

Is this right? I noticed recently that ESPN or MLB.com had celebrated a team getting their 10,000th win but it didn't match with baseball-reference's totals which said they already had it. I'm not sure if MLB officially counts teams that originally played in the American Association's win totals from that league or not.

Ervin Santana blows a 5-run lead in two pitches (Pedroia 2-run single, Papi 3-run HR next pitch). "This is like Fenway!" says ESPN broadcast over huge cheers in Turner Field

Dodgers are gonna need a catcher. Send them the Big Thumper for a reliefer. Then bring up Rupp. That's what Kim Ng would do.

Good trivia question on Mike and Mike. Who are the three RH hitters who have 400+ homers and 2,000 + hits?
