Martarano adds a double. He's hitting .467 on the short season.

Alfredo Colorado gets the start for the AZL Cubs.

Martarano and Kwon with home runs in the 6th for Eugene. It's Martarano's first professional home run.

Brett Anderson: 4 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 7-2 GO-FO, 51-37 pitches-strikes

Dexter to the DL. [tweet] [/tweet]

Definitely. The St. Lucie Mets are owned by the New York Mets themselves so this was inevitable.

[tweet] [/tweet] Better not take him out of the rotation when Anderson comes back. Or when Hendricks comes back.

Especially baffling with the 10-day DL.

Man, Stanton is crazy good.

What a dumb half inning.

Montgomery: 21 IP, 16 H, 8 R, 4 ER, 8 BB, 19 K, 1.71 ERA as a starter. I hope they keep him in the rotation over Butler when Sanderson comes back (or don't reinstate Anderson...whatever).

Huh. Are they gonna send Montgomery back out for the 6th?

Shrug. Same injury he didn't get disabled for earlier this season. Of course the Cubs acted like idiots with Zobrist's injury.

Can't watch right now... Did Russell get hurt? [tweet] [/tweet]

[tweet] [/tweet] 4 days rest is still short rest in college baseball.

The game starts in an hour and UMF still hasn't started a new thread.

Montero knows what he's talking about.

Got to love little league rookie ball. [tweet]https://twitter.com/billazbbphotog/status/878805989612371968[/tweet]

[tweet] [/tweet] We can only hope Anderson will take Lackey's spot in the rotation.

I thought they were bad. But they're really embarrassingly bad. Just don't be bad enough that Matheny is fired.

Far cry from the upper 90s - 100 mph that got him added to the 40-man last offseason. [tweet] [/tweet]

Faedo should've been a top ten pick. Teams passing on him 8-17 due to minor knee surgeries was silly.
