SHOW NOTES
* 362.
The 7th no-hitter of 2021 belongs to the @Cubs! @ZDavies3, @RTepera, @BigCountry1739, and @Kimbrel46 combine to blank the Dodgers. https://t.co/rJ9JUEBLUO pic.twitter.com/kGOLYim4cr

Maybe the problem was that he didn't have on-base video.
Javy Baez forgot one key thing when he was on first base. https://t.co/1soHJmhzlJ

Terrible take. It's like reporter forgetting to write a lede.
David Ross pulling Javy Baez from Monday's game wasn't about right or wrong -- but about why. The #Cubs are wobbling into the teeth of trouble: https://t.co/CN3xcjvGBm pic.twitter.com/JeOkdxMaRv

BenZo.
NASHVILLE -- former Cubs player Ben Zobrist accuses Byron Yawn, former pastor at Community Bible Church & CEO of Forrest Crain & Co (a Nashville consulting firm) of having an affair with his wife and defrauding his charity. He seeks $6 million in damages.https://t.co/Q6wq6HWIR2

35:55: The YerMIAnator.
* Coffman: "Any game [the White Sox] win is kind of a miracle."
Yermín Mercedes in his last 20 games played:

BA .103 (68-7), 0 HR, 5 RBIS. His BA has dropped from .340 to .270, his OBP from .386 to .324, his SLG from .525 to .404 and his OPS from .911 to .728. pic.twitter.com/2lzlFZxcDg

Yas.
Yasmani Grandal has closed the gap in wRC+ with Salvador Perez.
— Patrick Nolan (@SoxMach_pnoles) June 24, 2021
Perez: 128
Grandal: 127
Perez walk rate: 2.7%
Grandal walk rate: 25.1%
That's how a guy hitting .172 (with slightly worse power numbers) can be just as valuable as a guy hitting .288.
Grandal is second on the team in Win Probability Added despite hitting .172. He's boosted the Sox' chances of winning games at the plate more than anyone except Tim Anderson. A lot of big hits lately for Yaz. pic.twitter.com/V820CcxruV

Coach no like this take:
Toronto lost 10 of final 11 games to potentially land Jalen Suggs. Bulls won five of their final 10 games to miss the playoffs and hand their first-round pick to Orlando. By the way, Toronto and Bulls were separated by four games at the end. Sleep on that! #MrPositive
