And that, folks, is why there needs to be a minimum wage for minor-leaguers. Or something.

@Jody_Jackson Don't they usually announce his name too?

What were the odds Jon Lester and Miguel Montero would both pitch 1 1/3 innings for #Cubs? About the same as Wilmer Flores getting 6 hits.

Next: ish95's unused Game of Thrones headline for the recap. [I guess, technically, spoilers, but the show was over a week ago, so if you haven't watched it by now, that's your problem!]

@AZSnakepit Dbacks Crumble Like Baelor's Sept

@AZSnakepit the stadium grass is beginning to physically represent how broken this team is at home

Tonight’s #Giants - #Dbacks game represents the in-season Baseball Equinox: 1,215 games down, 1,215 games to go.

All downhill from here.

Brandon Drury was set up 339 feet away from home plate at the pitch in the no-doubles defense against Posey there. Worked!

First and foremost: Welcome back to the big leagues, Mr. McCarthy. Even though you're a Dodger.
