Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 6-20-16
TruffleShuffle replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
wait we signed aaron crow? -
I'm going back and forth on it. on one hand it was a good read that the ball was getting by Yadi, but on the other hand you have to make sure it gets to the wall isn't that too long to wait? by the point the ball's hitting the wall the catcher might be almost onto it, or it might take a bounce straight back to him. i think a player needs to go as soon as he reads that it's past the catcher.
-
Hard to fault Almora for that, he read the ball was getting by Molina, didn't anticipate it bouncing off the ump's leg right back to him. yeah, i can't blame him. he made the right read, just got really unlucky. what's really frustrating is that almora made the read that resulted in him getting thrown out while coghlan didn't make the same read and stayed put. if coghlan runs the zobrist ties it with a hit; if almora doesn't run then zobrist ties it. oh well, we're up 11.5 games on those sad sacks, who cares if we lost a game really.

he's hitting .290/.362/.484/.846 in june.

this is a family site, buddy.
-
please walk off against rosenpenis.
-
11 hits in richard's last 4 innings. doing a bang-up job there, clayton.

*insert emoji with hearts for eyes*
-
it really wasn't a junk pitch, it was a tough slider that was a little low and outside. tough to take those with two strikes in the count.
-
good choice to throw that jaime, almost got him.
-
score 15 runs and then bring in clayton richard to hit neck tats in the dick.
-
not too sure why cahill wasn't double switched into the 8 hole. he could've pitched the 8th as well.
-
szczur to CF and bat 9th, RP (cahill?) batting 8th?
-
he was ugly throughout.
-
but they play the game the right way!
-
classic cards, hit their guy by going a little inside with a fastball and it glances off his elbow guard, they retaliate by trying to hit you in the face.
-
molina probably decided to wear a faceguard because he realized that he's a douche bag and people want to hit him in the face.
-
i have no idea why moss is hitting 7th.
-
good frame by willson on strike one to diaz.
-
this year, that's a pretty low bar to get over.
-
surprised gary jones didn't hold him.
-
i want somebody to walk up to vic mensa's "16 shots". that'd go over well.
-
has lackey's lower lip ever touched his upper lip?
-
lackey is throwing a lot of pitches in the wong location.
-
i'm going to assume that the PEDs helped him make the extra 15 feet that ball needed to get over the fence.
