Gerrit Cole lasted 3.1 innings and gave up 6 hits and 3 walks and 3 runs (at least). Bad month or is he going to be in trouble now?

5.49 ERA since MLB decided the rules should actually be enforced.

Yankees and chapman have another last inning collapse and at the risk of over reacting their season is done

They won’t use the Fox k zone, or the Bally’s k zone, they won’t use ESPN’s version, they won’t use NBC Sports version or the TBS version.  They will use the MLB version that they use to evaluate the umpires.  We don’t see that one on our tv.  Sorry. 

I was an umpire for junior girls softball and this is the one we used.

Oh ok. I watched a game of cricket. We used a different one.

Cricket reviews are light-years better than mlb's. 

Right, @WicketMaiden?

There are few things as satisfying as Yankee fan meltdowns.

Indeed they are. Cricket has an excellent review system, it's quick, very accurate and most importantly as a watching viewer you can hear the discussion and the decision being made. Each team has three reviews and you lose one each time the decision reviewed goes against you, so as captain you only review the decisions that are genuinely borderline. Much better than waiting in silence watching a few guys in headphones standing around while some muppet in NY takes a look between bagel bites.

Why the hurry, the damn match goes on for 8 hours.

A Twenty20 game (the most popular style of cricket) lasts about the same amount of time as a baseball game. 120 balls (pitches) per team, and both games have a bowler or pitcher that sends a ball into play around every 20-30 seconds or so making the pace of play of the two sports very similar.

(A Test match on the other hand can end in a thrilling draw after five days of playing from 11am to 6pm).

[Blarg]

Lets review this again. A bunch of twits combined Croquet with a paddle used to initiate members of some boarding school in a game that lasts 5 days with a tie. Yes, it sounds so very British, oh rah. Afterwards I'm sure they all enjoy some warm beer and spotted dick, not necessarily the pudding type. 

But Lou enjoys it along with soccer. A sport that never figured out how to use a countdown clock.

Since no-hitting the Dodgers on June 24th (combined no-no) the Cubs have lost 10 games in a row. The Dodgers, meanwhile, won 9 straight until Miami beat them today.

Baseball is weird sometimes.

As a Mariner fan, I obviously don't mind the Angels losing, but I hope you smoke the Red Sox asses hard in the next few games. What a tool.

The Cubs scored 10 runs today but the Phillies still beat them. 

That is Chicago's 11th straight loss since no-hitting the Dodgers.
