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.

Was the broadcast team right that Uruguay got whistled for offsides when Mexico's keeper punched the ball into his own net? Because if so that was wrong by an insane amount and it should be tied.

okay Miggy let's play scoreboard pong and go home

The rarely seen mole HR, where a ball is beaten so far into the ground that it, through the wonders of science, bounces off the core of the earth and surfaces again 450 feet away. If this is a Backyard Baseball reference, I love you. What I'm saying is, Pablo Sanchez could definitely hit Ziegler.

oh this is going to be a popular PH decision

Probably a ground ball inside-the-park home run. The rarely seen mole HR, where a ball is beaten so far into the ground that it, through the wonders of science, bounces off the core of the earth and surfaces again 450 feet away.
-
just kidding, but it's actually 2 for 6 with a HR
-
The odds of the result of Brad Ziegler vs. Jason Heyward being a ground ball are infinity to one. Heyward is 4 for 5 against Ziegler with a home run.

Probably Baez, Russell, Rizzo, Montero, Heyward

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 6-5-16
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I wonder if Alcantara has a chance at cracking a playoff roster as the new Quintin Berry. 20 for 20 on SB now, 37 of 43 the last 2 years. Also the back end of the Iowa pen stayed strong. Rivero 1 IP 1 H 2 K; Edwards .2 IP 0 H; Pena 1.1 IP 0 H 2 K -
umpires, how do they work
-
I believe 9
-
Baez's IsoP now .159, for those concerned about such things
-
4 strikes to Corbin before that single
-
Arrieta has lowered his FIP from 2.72 to 2.50 in 4 innings.
-
what is on Schwarber's face
-
Maybe don't hit submit on this one next time.

They're also facing a worse LHP tomorrow in a game where Ross is guaranteed to start, so if you plan on resting all the LHs, it makes sense to do Rizzo and Heyward today and Montero and maybe one of the switch hitters tomorrow.
