Nice to see Baez not only hitting but hitting in the clutch.

That's pretty pedestrian.
NSBB has some guy at Blackburn's effective start earlier this
week. Had him 88-90, 89-91 type range on his fastball. The
scout liked the easy arm action and the location/sink. But at
least on that game, again not very fast.

Blackburn 88-91 on his sinker isn't horrible if he can locate
really well and has a change up/slow curve to go with it. If he
can't do that then his margin for error is very small.

Was thinking about Johnson's outing and how much one should buy
into FIP.
6 IP 4H 1 HR 1 ER 2 walks and 3 strikeouts translates as a well
below-average performance.
(13*1 + 3*2 - 2 * 3) / 6
i.e., an ERA slightly more than 2 runs above average. Ouch!
Should that quiet all the talk about a promotion to AAA?
Hasn't Johnson always thrown 90-92 with a few 93s sprinkled in?

WHIP of exactly 1.0
ERA of 1.5
If FIP shows that to be below average, my first reaction would
be to question FIP.
Or at least FIP applied to that small a sample size.

FIP in small sample sizes isn't great. FIP in the minor leagues
isn't as useful either. Preventing hard contact for a pitcher
in the minor leagues is a skill, so DIP isn't as useful as it is
in the majors.

Baez homers.
Contreras 3 hits, leading the league in average.
Cease with 3 walks and two wild pitches in the first inning.

Candelario has been terrific so far at Tennessee.

I'd really like to see Contreras added to the roster and called
up for the month of September. He wouldn't see much game action
with three other catchers on the roster, but he could learn a
lot from Ross and Montero. The $85K or so that he'd earn
wouldn't mean much to the Cubs, but it would surely be
appreciated by a minor league player who probably didn't receive
a huge signing bonus.
