Drew Smyly perfect through 6 innings vs Dodgers.

Cubs up 13-0.

Dodgers BP has given up 8 er in 2.2 ip.

[Lou]

7 innings

Literally turned on the game to see a broken bat swinging bunt break it up on the first pitch I see

That was brutal.

[T.G.]

I thought Drew Smyly sucked?

[T.G.]

To add insult to injury... Bellinger is 2 for 3 with a homer

He's 6-16 with 3 HR vs the dodgers this year. 

He's now batting .306

The Dodgers offense looks quite a bit different without Bellinger, Justin Turner, and Trea Turner.  Even Shohei couldn’t save them from mediocrity.

Right after the A’s signed Fujinami some thought they got a steal.  Then when he had a good two innings against us opening weekend and some were questioning whether we should have gone after him.  I am watching him pitch against Texas.  Just a reminder, that he is awful.  His ERA is over 11.

The Major Leaguer who has yet to play in a big league game is one step closer to finally fulfilling his dream.

The Pirates selected the contract of Drew Maggi from Double-A Altoona on Sunday. Some notes about the 33-year-old, per the club:

• His first appearance will be his Major League debut
• Will wear uniform No. 39
• Has played in 1,155 Minor League Games over parts of 13 MiLB seasons.
• Was selected to the Minnesota Twins roster on Sept. 18, 2021, but did not appear in a game. 

How special is it that he's back with a big league club? Just watch this video of him finding out:
 

Maggi, who was selected in the 15th round of the 2010 Draft, was not in the Pirates' starting lineup announced for Sunday. But if and when he steps on the field, it's going to be incredible.
