$540k slot goes between the 103rd and 104th picks, a 3rd rounder.

7 walks and 3 strikeouts in 30 PA is a nice start for Jonathan Sierra. He has a 29% strikeout rate last year in the AZL.

Didier Vargas is up to 7 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 4 BB, 11 K. Can't wait till they update the box score tomorrow and we find out it took 3 pitchers to get through those 7 innings.

Oh man, calling a certain segment of Cubs fans spoiled after 2016 is the best assessment ever.

This thread apparently doesn’t show umpires proper respect.

Eugene now has him going tomorrow so he's not hurt. It was Williams-Marquez last time too.

Hey, I'm down for a nice long win streak with Simpsons GIFs.

Duensing turned into a pumpkin really fast.

I can see the Cubs offense waking up and winning this one but something must really go bad for the Reds to only scratch out one more the rest of the way.

Aramis Ademan with a first inning RBI double.

I think Mekkes is more likely to have a better big league career but Maples is more likely to have a big league All Star Game appearance.

Sounds like a no-doubter: https://twitter.com/billazbbphotog/status/1010370005337165825?s=21 Also: https://twitter.com/billazbbphotog/status/1010384779412271104?s=21

Christopher Morel HR.

Manny Machado just hit a 2-run home run off a guy who looks like John Lackey.

Clayton Daniel (31st rounder), Jamie Galazin (22nd rounder), Drew Wharton (30th rounder) and DJ Artis (7th rounder) all made their pro debuts tonight with the AZL Cub affiliates.

Montgomery could easily start Sunday if necessary, though that’d create an issue for Monday if Chatwood is out. wouldn't Lester be on regular rest on Monday? Yeah, you're right.

As Matt Clapp has said, the only amusing thing about the AL would be seeing James Paxton eliminate one of Boston or New York in the Wild Card game.

Not sure I'm tracking, but upon completion of top-10's, that opens up the full $376K in overage, and should make more overage available. So how can the last line, with the full $376 in overage included, show less discretionary $$ than the second last line, which does not assume the full overage yet? My numbers have $607K underslot, counting Roberts + $376 overage = $983 sum discretionary. I'm not sure the website where I got my slot numbers had them exactly right, plus I roundoff a bit, so I don't doubt I'm off by a couple of K. Craig, I made a mistake on the post before Roberts signed. Check the one after Roberts signed - I got $985k which matches yours with slight differences in rounding.

Leg injury, possibly hip, per reports from the game. He was never placed on the South Bend DL so it can't be too major. Yeah, I remember the preliminary "in-game" thing about either his hip or groin, but was hoping we would have heard something a little more concrete since then by somebody. It was 10 days ago already. Yeah, you know how rough it is to get minor league injury updates.
