Orioles released Bud Norris. Signing him to a minor league deal
and seeing if they can straighten him out wouldn't be a bad
idea. I'd still like an improvement over Russell out of the
bullpen too.

With the Pirates beating the Dodgers tonight, the Cubs now have
the third best record in the National League, as well as in the
NL Central.

And the 4th best record in baseball, all while having played one
of the toughest schedules to date.

Strange ending to the Arizona win over Cincinnati on Sunday
With the score tied 3-3, The Diamondbacks had the bases loaded
with one out in the bottom of the 10th. A line drive was hit
over the centerfielder's head "ending the game".
Now watch the replay (after a brief commercial)

The replay clearly shows the runner on first never made it to
second and the guy on second headed to the celebration before
reaching third. My first thought was that the appeal by the
Reds was denied because they tagged second before third,
removing the force double play. And did the security guy
tossing the ball in make any difference?
Here's the key paragraph
--- Quote ---
> But the Official Baseball Rules book is pretty explicit on
this issue with less than two outs. Rule 5.08(b) in the 2015
edition, 4.09(b) in previous versions, states that on any play
in that situation with the bases full "which forces the runner
on third to advance, the umpire shall not declare the game over
until the runners forced from third has touched home and the
batter-runner has touched first base."
--- End Quote ---
I've never heard of that part of the rule before.

Really fascinating article on Alex Wood, and how going from one
of the worst pitch framers to one of the best may be helping
him:
