Verlander chewed him up badly in his first two at-bats. It was good to see PCA hang in there against Abreu and get a good solid swing. Seven years ago, the Cubs had Verlander on their radar but Detroit wanted Ian Happ in return which was the deal breaker. They should put him back on the radar...

That one lady right behind the OKC bench not wearing the t-shirt is distracting.

Have you seen Jack McCoy walking around?

After an inside pitch, yelling "charge the mound".

Wicked pass, Joel.

There is a theory that Counsell let it be known that he would not poach any coaches on his way to Chicago in exchange for Murphy getting the job. If Milwaukee had refused, Counsell would have raided the staff--including Murphy.

Brad Davis and his 'stache are in the starting lineup

Kevin Love almost single-handedly kept it close.

Michael Busch has been a shrewd acquisition for the Cubs. Good work by the scouting department. They found an undervalued asset: a guy who raked in the minors, but was not given consistent time in the majors, and was blocked all across the diamond.

Shane Langeliers!!

The trade for Alex Verdugo didn't work out so well, either.

Grayson Allen is averaging 13 PPG with 50% shooting and 46% from 3-point. Kevin Durant has raved at how much space he opens up on the floor. I know he has the rep of a Grade A doosh, but his loss is going unnoticed.

I just saw someone wearing a Steve Scheffler jersey.

Dante Exum!! What a shot.

Why wouldn't they show Tracy Wolfson standing on a podium? Or did she grow a foot since interviewing Edey? EDIT: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GKh-Qi9asAEqwpC?format=jpg&name=large
