omg that was awesome! So fun when games do nutty things
If the catcher (or other player) blocks the base path without the ball, the runner SHOULD be awarded the base. Period. Every time!.
Unless he over slides it in the process . Based on the new rule , if there WAS an automatic base awarded, the 2nd base rule would negate it
I don't care for the over slide due to the fact that on the rare occasion guys drop the ball, miss the tag initially or the base, the runner could be safe but since he over-slid, nope. That's the stuff that makes for awesome baseball. Like Cog's play..it was awesome to see that ! There is no rule for going above the baseline, but prob going to be now.
. Addie with the insurance bomb, nice to have Vroom Vroom back..and then Riz...man am I glad to see you back! Had no plan of being left out of the home run derby tonight. Hector, great job, Koji, well that kind of night for pitcher's shake it off...CJ, you rock and Davis nailed the coffin shut.
I liked what the announcers (I think it was CSN) said....he Schwarbinated it.
The boys had FUN tonight! Schwarb's with a 462 ft silencer to the haters, lol..Willy crushed that double, might be a hole in the wall as they didn't find it~KB definitely not sick anymore!Candy Man with the clutch single , LaStella the same~Ian Happ not only with his first Wrigley HR but his patience and control to take the walk and not try to kill it was
WE MOVED UP TO 3RD
) after the 6th, so glad I got to see that.
ANYBODY that beats STL is a-okay in my book.
). Did Rizzo continue his HR streak? Happy to be flying the W again. Now, in the words of Elmer Fudd....it's time fow the sweep. 
Yes indeed! I hate the scoreboard and I'm pleased he best it up a bit!Hey, Robin...wasn't it you that said you didn't like the Budweiser sign? You should like Schwarber even more now.
no Cub HR's, actually only 1 all night (other than Schwar's BP one that you saw on the Bud Board, lol...he DOES like that spot)~ but Riz did good and thank heaven his spikes are red because that allowed a camera shot& a really surprising challenge to be overturned on the last out for the W. Was a good night of consistent hitting, Kyle did great! That said, 2 nights of facing a slower speed pitcher, lets keep it going against the big boys. STL lost in extras's to Boston again, but the Brewers squeaked out a W in the 8th or 9th...bummer. On the upside Thames has mono and Braun on the DL , not sure if they will be playing against us this weekend.I wasn't able to stay up for the whole game (again
Oh shoot! I forgot that he was going to be on. The advantage of the DWTS stuff is that it may get people to tune in who usually wouldn't and and vote for him. I am feeling more and more positive about his chances to take the mirrorball trophy.
