I don't know if it's just me but I don't recall ever watching a team pick off base runners like they have this season.
...and this umpire is appallingly bad.

Rizzo took his frustrations at the plate in to the field there. Inexcusable lack of concentration.

That one on Rizzo for lazy attempt of a catch

Well I'm just glad Butler put up a game that sets a tone for the rotation to follow. Good thing the Pen didn't screw job his outting.

Given how well Davis' has pitched I'm really hoping they lock him up soon. I wasn't really thrilled with dealing Soler for a 1 year rental who had been hurt but he's obviously pitched well enough to put the injury concerns behind him. If they can lock his contract up to I'd be very pleased. He's up to 15.1 innings with 0 ER(1 UER) and 20k's over that period. Pretty filthy.

I'd like to see that too..
My concern though is being that he 31, he probably looking at one last big pay day..
So, he continues to pitch like he has the last couple seasons, he probably going to test market and look for something similar to what Chapman got 5 yrs 17.2 per..
Not sure if Cubs brass would want to commit to that on a closer, especially a season after letting Chapman go who 2 yrs younger..
Plus
Seems like their looking to use Edwards as an eventual Closer and seem to be getting Pierce Johnson ready to come up and either set up or close..

What is amazing is how hard he blew in spring training. Definitely knows when its time to turn it up.

Not a chance. Much better for him to hit the FA market as a 32 y/o pitcher even after a mediocre season than to hit it as a 33 y/o after a good one.

I agree with the age thing but it depends on how he does..
If he finishes under 200 IP and has an ERA close to 4 or above and with the way he struggled last year..
Might not get many big multi years offers if any..
QO and a chance to regain himself for 1 season might benefit him
Or
Accept what cubs offer in yrs and money if they make an offer

It's Happ-ening.
Seems a shame to bring him up now but if you're short boies, you're short bodies,

My favorite teams
I agree with your reasoning. But do you really think a team would give 90+ million to a relief pitcher that will be 32 by the end of the season? I wouldn't think so.

I'm kinda shocked that they are pulling the trigger. But, seeing this tells me that the goal is winning games right now vs delaying start clocks.
I'm pretty stoked with this.

Honestly I"m sorta glad he gets a short call up. That way we at least get a look at him in the majors prior to july which could be important.
