Edwin Jackson’s night, unfortunately, looked more like the April/May version of Jackson than the June version. Nate Schierholtz hit a three-run bomb, which was swell, but that pretty much sums up the positives from tonight’s blowout loss. Incidentally, it was the Cubs’ 9th straight loss at Miller Park.

To be clear, the vibes on the Chicago Cubs landing Roki Sasaki should never have been particularly high to begin with, and I've done my best to keep folks' hopes in check from the jump. The rumors on the Dodgers...
MLB RUMORS — Well, we're officially in a holding pattern. The big-time free-agent relievers are still standing by for Tanner Scott to set the market (Andrew Kittredge notwithstanding). Pete Alonso and Alex Bregman are in no man's land and are...
'Conclave' was good. I don't have much more to say than that, especially since I'm way late on watching it, and also because I don't know much about how realistic it is. Just an interesting, well-paced story to enjoy. The...
