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)

[font=arial]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?[/font]
Here's the key paragraph
[quote][font=arial]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."[/font][/quote]
[font=arial]I've never heard of that part of the rule
before.[/font]

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:
