The A's are a remarkable story. One game out.

For 2 more innings.

Not a bold statement, but guessing Darvish’s season is over after today.

Depends on if April/May Counsel shows up for the rest of the season or July Counsel is here to say. He's got the look of the Russian hockey coach in the 3rd period of the Lake Placid game right now and it's not good. The fact that he left his best reliever on the bench who had at least a week of rest for a very high leverage situation on Friday against the Cardinals is inexplicable.

He may not be great tonight, or not meet the wildly high expectations immediately, but I am pumped for KopechDay. I was fortunate enough to get to spend a few hours with him this past January and he was awesome to me and my family. Hope he has a great future with the Sox and can't wait to see him pitch in person tonight.

I'm going to assume that all of these scouts, managers, and execs are misinformed since best tagger is not a category.  Don't they know that its the only thing that matters in baseball.

Duh, it's called the Javi Baez Best Tagger After Me Award for a reason.

I can't stand Murphy but the offense has been a disaster since the break so I get it. He's terrible defensively as well.

Russell's hand injury has made him basically useless at the plate.

In his last 19 games he's had a .920 OPS.

They didn't give up anything so whatever.  Jim Edmonds was my most hated player before he became a Cub.

I like Murphy, good move by the Cubs. At first I wondered if it meant maybe Bryant was delayed in coming back, but could be just moving Russell to the bench permanently the rest of the year.

I thought of you when Arrieta was talking to kids for quite some time during the LLWS. I can't believe those parents would trust their kids to a guy who was gonna get them hooked on 'roids. Or maybe that's why they had their kids sit with him!

Good get for the Cubs. He can get hot and carry a team for a week. Excellent insurance for Bryant.

Absolutely, low risk move with a lot of upside.  Great insurance bat with playoff experience.

Still havent forgiven him for the 2015 NLCS where he was an absolute monster, but Id love to have others feel the fear I felt when he was at the plate in critical situations in Sept/Oct.
