Winner between the bizarro all stars and the champs gets to split all forfeited salary from suspended players for the year.

I'd hate to see someone pronounce it "topsplus" and then I can never unhear it.

Gotta keep minor leaguers hungry. Literally, apparently.

The drama of this game would be so, so, so much better had the Cubs not won the World Series in 2016.  Now, its just a bit meh, unfortunately.

Would current age Todd Helton be an upgrade at first?
Craig Edwards
10:17
That's a crazy alternate reality.

It would be fun to imagine and say yes, but it's been five years and he was breaking down so no.

Alright I'll ask the question we are all thinking but wont ask...if you had to build an MLB team using 25 non-humans which animals do you pick for what?

Gorillas?
Hank

Is there anything to the Cubs having the 2nd most 0 and 1 run scored games?   Or is it just random?

Watching this game is finally beating it into me that Kyle Freeland is a really good pitcher, like wow.
AvatarDan Szymborski

I don't have a vote this year, but Freeland would make my CY ballot.
Carson Cistulli
10:18
Hello, friends.
Harry
10:18
Are they right to keep Freeland in the game here?
Craig Edwards
10:18
I'm going to say random.

You wanna go to that bullpen?
10:19
It's a big box of nasty surprises and Freeland's pitch count isn't high
Craig Edwards
10:19
I think it is fine. He's at 77 pitches and doing well.

Serviceable. Which is fine.

Yes, please hide them. I have one of my own, which is a sufficient quantity of children for me.
