No clue what that even means.

My bad reading comprehension. I always thought the Count was juiced - never thought about it with Cookie.

He could help cubbie fans count high enough to get to Darish's ERA or Chatwood's walks per 9 ip.

Second Angels starting pitcher to die in the last ten years.  Tyler Skaggs pitched Saturday.  27 years old.

They aren’t going to the playoffs, and they’ve sucked for years, but man this 2019 Sox team is damn fun to watch and cheer for.

Anybody see Yadi defending Lucroy on social media, cussing out anyone and everyone arguing that he was hurt on just a good ole aggressive baseball play? Kind of cool to see the catcher solidarity (and he's definitely right).

No doubt a dirty slide.  Under the new rules you can only take out the catcher if he is blocking the plate.  Lucroy gave him a path the entire play.

An MLB would have been ejected for that hit in the NFL.

You can actually see that runner veer to the left with a clear path straight ahead.    I assume there will be a suspension.

Next you'll tell me we should have nets to protect fans.

In the good old days guys didn't go out of their way to barrel into the catcher, because they didn't have to.  He was always right there blocking the plate.

Live at full speed this play doesn't look so dirty, but watching him pivot in slo mo to drill the catcher when his best path to being safe was a head first away from the catcher, it looks pretty bad.  I would expect a suspension for a few games.

Its ok, now he just has to hit 2 HRs in the ASG and Hank will buy a cat!

But interesting he is playing in the game if his back is that bad...

I’m not too upset about it. Trying to get as many swings in 4 minutes and hit homers sounds like it could be a strain on the back. Much more so than playing a few innings in the All Star game.

That's kinda what is being stated.  I think if he feels 'good enough', he'll respect the game and play a few innings with maybe 2 ABs.
