Yes, they are mathematically locked at 2nd in the group. Brazil/Peru has similar stakes as USA/Paraguay, Peru wins the group with a win, Brazil wins the group with a win or tie.
-
Ecuador getting a 3rd goal pretty much guarantees them 2nd in the group and a trip to Seattle, because Haiti getting 2 in the last 30ish minutes is a looong shot.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 6-12-16
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Remember in the spring that people were wondering if A.J. Reed was going to make the Astros out of spring training? At the least people figured that he'd be ready and waiting if the other options floundered. As it turns out, AAA is harder than the California and Texas league, and Reed is hitting .244/.348/.471/.819, and at Fresno. I point that out to make a comparison to Vogelbach, who didnt' have the A+/AA outbreak that Reed did, is now hitting .314/.431/.536/.987 in the same AAA league. His bounceback year is probably the most underreported positive development in the system. -
he wasn't wrong, though. coghlan scored on an E9 Yep, Jones was right but when Markakis inexplicably tried to barehand and kicked it, going home was the right choice(and still a wee bit close a play).
-
that is probably the best bunt Lester will place in his career
-
oh man now I have to decide on whether to get tickets for thursday and then second guess that decision each day until then
-
That happened to an assistant in one of the other games, but I can't remember who. Hilarious. Less hilarious, how terrible Fox Sports Go continues to be.

wowowowowow ticos

ticossssssssssss

Yellow card accumulation runs through the quarterfinal, so any of these guys getting a yellow card in the next game would be suspended for the semis: Orozco, Brooks, Johnson, Bradley, Jones, Bedoya, and Wood
-
Looking forward to Wood getting his second yellow after someone rips his arm off and then trips him with it

This ref has gone from calling every single thing to calling fouls at random out of spite.
-
man, have a day, John Brooks
-
Worth noting that Arrieta has 5 days of rest on either side of this start.
-
wow that looked wayyyy more like he touched the base than like 90% of close turns the one last night was worse
-
some pitchers literally say they are looking to pitch to more contact, including arrieta and sale this year Pitchers say a lot of things. Sale I'm almost positive is trying to not scare people with his drop in velocity by saying something that sounds strategic but he's literally just not missing as many bars with his stuff anymore Pitchers sometimes very explicitly throw pitches they want guys to swing and miss at, like chase sliders, high fastballs, etc. Other times they throw pitches that they're more okay with contact because they want to throw strikes and set up sequences. Or in other words, pitching to contact in the 'haha they're gonna pop this up just like I planned it' sense is pretty much a myth; pitching to contact in the 'even if you make contact I'm okay with that because of the pitch/location/your lack of skill' sense is absolutely a real thing.

oh man the timing of that "you're envisioning yourself, aren't you" from Len just killed me
-
Bryant on pace for the most casual 40 HR season
-
how did JD know that O'Flaherty had never committed an error that fast
-
Poor Wisler can't get that home runs per inning number against the Cubs below 1.

Rizzo back in the lineup and Coghlan makes his debut. [tweet] [/tweet]
