Sheesh, Kipnis is blasting this Cubs team right now. He's saying he's bothered because it doesn't feel like there's a team leader. He's shocked to hear that Edward Cabrera asked to come out. He said he wants bull dog pitchers, not ones who ask to come out. Pretty bold words!
After yesterday's monster performance at the plate, Cubs catching prospect Owen Ayers is up to a .312/.424/.682/182 wRC+ slash line on the season.
That wRC+? It's the highest in all of minor league baseball.
After reaching a high mark of 27-12 on May 8, the Cubs wake up a .500 team -- having gone 7-22 since then. On that day they were 1st in OBP, 4th in home runs, and 7th in starter's ERA. SINCE then: 26th in OBP, 24th in home runs and 29th in ERA. A shocking reversal to their season
Puma 17u has had 2 players out for the season. Looking to add a couple players. P/Utility players.
Schedule includes
-Sparks Invite
-PBR Rock Summer Championships
-Perfect Game Iowa
10 year track record of moving players on to the next level

It was always an awkward moment when someone needed the red bat.
“Yeah, Billy, you can play but you gotta use the red bat.”
“But I wanna use the yellow bat like everybody else.”
“Motherfucker, you went 0-for-46 yesterday. The yellow bat is no longer an option for you.”
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to catch Ferris Bueller skipping school when you have to leave straight from the office to go play third base for the White Sox that night?
Good morning….there is a lot wrong with college sports right now….This is NOT one of them! So cool! Congrats to @WVUBaseball you guys are Super! #RoadToOmaha
