Pete Crow-Armstrong is ruled out at second base after initially contacting second base and losing possession of the base. Crow-Armstrong had initially advanced to second base on a walk. Cubs manager Craig Counsell has been ejected.

I don’t think people realize how hard it is to get into the HOF. Here’s Kyle Schwarber vs Lance Berkman thru age-33. Berkman got 1.3% of the vote in his first and only year on the ballot. Schwarber has no chance.

🚨CYCLE SCORING ALERT🚨 Tons of folks sent this one in from the @Phillies and @Mets game, with Bryce Harper completing the cycle with this fifth inning triple. I believe this was scored correctly as a triple. This falls under Rule 9.06; Determining the Value of Base Hits. The key is Harper never slowed down at all and was going for third the whole time. One of the things the scorer has to determine is whether or not Harper went to third on the throw or not. He obviously was going for third regardless, and the fact that he would have been out is inconsequential here. The OS Manual states this: “Had the bases been empty, would the batter-runner have attempted to advance the extra base? If not, the value of the base hit should not include the additional base.” The answer on this one is yes, Harper would have ATTEMPTED to advance. Doesn’t say if he would have been safe. Since he would have attempted this regardless of the throw home, he was, IMHO, correctly credited with a triple.
