73/7 K/BB ratio for Robinson -
Minor League Musings

Almora still has a pretty high floor, and if Happ continues to put his May behind him in the next few weeks I think you can make the argument for him too. -

Torres since May 1: 154 PA, .316/.389/.534, 6 HR, 29/16 K/BB, 10/13 SB -
Donaldson for Jamaica is having an all-timer in terms of missed opportunities, it seems like every 5 minutes he blows a different chance.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 6-9-16
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
The original Shawon has a job in the Giants organization, maybe they sold him there as a courtesy instead of releasing him. Kinda the inverse of when the Cubs traded for someone else's kid(I forget who it was now, Scoscia?) so they could be the ones to release him instead of dad's team. -

2, 3, 4, 5 and 14 in the NL. Absurd. [tweet] [/tweet] EDIT: I just realized that Lackey is the team leader, which is maybe the most absurd of all considering he gave up 18 baserunners in his first 2 starts.

Almost put this in the Theo thread in Baseball discussions but let's do it here: [tweet]https://twitter.com/jareddiamond/status/740691683902390273[/tweet] With Almora's debut, this means that in this decade(2010-2015): Theo has had 9 of 13 1st rounders make the majors, and 2-3 of those that haven't still have a fair shot of getting there(Happ, Johnson, maybe Blackburn) McLeod has had 6 of 10 1st rounders make the majors in that span, with the same 2-3 having a chance, and an 11th pick that wasn't signed. For a point of comparison, in the same span Neal Huntington is 2 for 9, with 5 having a chance to join them(mostly HS draftees in A ball) plus Appel going unsigned, and Mozeliak is 4 for 15, with ~7 having a chance to also make it. If you look at it by impact the math is pretty good too: Theo: 15.2 bWAR, 1.16 per pick McLeod: 14.6, 1.46 per signed pick Huntington: 9.2(all Cole), 1.02 per signed pick Mozeliak: 12.0, 0.8 per pick

Let's get every Cub into the ASG!

It's very good and clever, but Ross pretending he has someone on the other line when he gets the invalid number message makes it great. -
So, Peru is up 2-0 on Ecuador already. If they win then Ecuador is practically(if not mathematically) done, and Peru only needs to bunker for a tie against Brazil to win the group. As a reminder, this is the group that the USA is paired with, so if the US finishes 2nd(most likely option), they face the winner of the group in the quarters.

The Cubs beat the Cardinals by 9 runs on May 24th.

lol at Heyward waving off Fowler

Yeah, could Schwarber have a 6 win season? Possibly, especially if he can catch a few dozen games. More likely he's going to be in that Nelson Cruz category of big bats whose lack of speed/positional value limit his ceiling. No need to give him away by any stretch, that's plenty valuable and worth having around, but when it comes to trade value he's not on the Bryant/Russell/Rizzo tier.
-
Arrieta threw 119 pitches in his no hitter and entered the 9th with 103 pitches. He threw 92 and 100 pitches the two starts after. Even by your own criteria that wasn't a bad decision, so why bring it up as a devil's advocate point? PS Johan Santana was 33 and had just missed a year due to injury when he threw his no hitter, and had 107 pitches entering the EIGHTH inning before ending with 134 pitches.
-
Someone should ask him why he looked like he was on the verge of tears the entire game then.
-
That 4th goal was big for any chances of being top of the group. That's predicated on Colombia dropping points to CR or Paraguay, but one can dream. Aside: Fox Sports Go is shockingly bad

this won't end up mattering and it certainly didn't impact anything with player safety, but if Rizzo is only out because he slid into Rupp's foot, which was blocking the way to the plate, then is that not exactly the rule being broken?
-
Heyward hitting 92 on the outer half 380+ feet is very nice to see.

I don't think the US needs to be permanent hosts, but is there a reason why there can't be a 4 year summer tournament cadence like the following? Gold Cup Copa America Gold Cup World Cup It would involve moving the regular timing of either the Gold Cup or Copa America, but they've already done the hard part by doing that to Copa America for the centenario. That solves the Confederations Cup issue and any damage to CONCACAF minnows(and you can increase Copa America to 20 or 24 teams to help with this too, like the Euros). As a fan of the USMNT I'm excited about the possibility of a more regular tournament of this caliber. Gold Cups and World Cup qualification are an exercise in either sending reduced squads or avoiding colossal screw ups, so having a western hemisphere equivalent to the Euros would be terrific.

Yeah, we've had 125 games of evidence that Clint isn't a lone striker. Especially at 33. Wood is a striker, not a midfielder. Zardes is neither. Columbia's game plan is to cede possession & counter. I'm just not sure why we didn't play with a 4 man midfield and Clint dropping to link with Wood and Nagbe or whoever should've played instead of Zardes. Whatever. We'll get the next 2. I'm generally not much for formation talk because in practice it doesn't matter in a lot of cases, but I do kinda wish they'd stop talking about a 4-3-3, and approach more as a 4-2-3-1(or 4-2-1-3), with Bradley/Jones as twin destroyers, Nagbe as CAM, and Pulisic/Zardes as the attacking wingers/forwards around Dempsey. Maybe this is a sore spot because it's almost the exact formation/personnel mismatch the Sounders have been hurting themselves with for most of the season.
