Rumors of Lane's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Corbin with the good stuff tonight

Taillon has had a really rough career. Two TJs, hernia, and testicular cancer.

Come back, Luis...hit some.

And 3-0 is not a bad start.

When Corbin's fastball sits 93+, his two sliders are a little more differentiated, because the one with more horizontal movement comes in at 83+, rather than 79-80. He becomes good Corbin

Good point.

No reason for Garcia to make that throw up 3-0 and already an out. CJ bailed him out.

Corbin looks like Steve Carlton tonight.

That was strike three. Bring on the robo umps.

I honestly would like to know if we're not getting calls because we're incredibly unlucky, or because Ruiz is so bad at framing

Good Corbin is fun to watch

The umps miss a bunch no matter who is playing. I think it’s generally random but Ruiz does not help.

Tailing reminds me of Rick Rueschel. Body type anyway.

Ah, but Chicago once had the most gorgeous sunsets when you looked south on the lake to the purple smoke from the steel mills...

Sick of Dickerson

I bet it was pretty at night when Mrs O’Leary’s cow started that fire.

I was literally just posting about how good Patrick has been coming off of paternity leave.
