lly might have to dial it down a bit.Using the 2012 London Olympics as a ready example, the fervent five must quickly tuck away Antworten

The Chicago Cubs have one of the best young lineups in baseball, and as everyone on the planet knows by now, theyre headed to the World Series for the first time in 71 years.And they just might be getting another key piece to their lineup.Outfielder Kyle Schwarber has been out since April 7 after tearing his ACL, and he was presumed to be lost for the remainder of the 2016 season. That could all be changing, however, as Schwarber has been added to the Mesa Solar Sox roster in the Arizona Fall League, and theres a real chance he could be added to the Cubs World Series roster before Tuesdays game against Cleveland.In his first action in six-plus months, Schwarber went 0-for-3 with a walk, but thats only part of the story. I had a chance to speak with an AL scout who attended the game, and he had positive -- but cautious -- things to say about the left-handed hitter.The timing is just a little bit off, the scout said. But thats to be expected; this guy hasnt played in a game since April. He still showed quality bat speed, he appeared to recognize pitches well, and hes always a threat with the long ball. As talented as this young man is, it wouldnt surprise me at all if hes ready to contribute with the bat in a couple of days.How Schwarber would fit is intriguing, and potentially less problematic than you might think. The Cubs will have the DH available for the first two games of the series and (potentially) the last two, so you dont have to worry about him defensively. He wasnt exactly a defensive star before the injury, and he certainly wont play defense in the games at Wrigley Field, but hes a potential weapon off the bench late in games. At the very least, Cleveland would have to be careful about using right-handed relievers, knowing that Schwarber is just a substitution away. Also keep in mind that the Cubs are currently carrying three catchers and have a ton of roster versatility, so they dont have to worry as much about late-game decisions knowing they have a non-option on defense.Its a risk -- and no decision will be made on Schwarber until after Sundays simulated game -- but Schwarber could be a major addition to the Cubs lineup in the first two games, one they werent expecting to see on the field until 2017.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- They could teach positive thinking to Tony Robbins, but as a group, the U.S. mens gymnastics team actually might have to dial it down a bit.Using the 2012 London Olympics as a ready example, the fervent five must quickly tuck away an impressive second-place finish to China in the qualification round Saturday at Rios Olympic Stadium and come to grips with a few realities.It should not be that difficult.Atop the list is the fact that they finished first in qualifications at the 2012 Games before placing fifth in the team finals.Looking ahead to Mondays team finals, China, team gold medalists the past two Olympics and three of the past four, along with fourth-place Japan and even fifth-place Great Britain are still considered heavier favorites than the U.S.And on a day in which the mood was permanently dampened by the gruesome injury to French gymnast Samir Ait Said, whose bad landing on a vault snapped his lower left leg with a crack heard to the upper reaches of the arena, it was one more reminder of the delicate nature of the sport.This sport is absolutely brutal, said Sam Mikulak, who finished in seventh place to qualify for Wednesdays all-around finals along with teammate Chris Brooks, who finished 19th. We learned that from John Orozco [who was originally chosen for the 2016 Olympic team but lost his spot due to a serious knee injury a little more than two weeks before Rio]. Especially to be in the Olympic Games and go down like that, its a horrible, horrible thing.We just have to get in the zone, stay focused and do the gymnastics we came out here to do.Considering it was far from a flawless day for the Americans, who faltered specifically and significantly on pommel horse, they were still able to maintain a sunny disposition at the overall result.If we hit our sets, I think well be on the podium, said Jake Dalton. It may take a pretty fantastic day to be No. 1, but thats what were shooting for. It depends on the other [teams] but I think were good enough.There is one school of thought that a superior team like China holds back in the qualification rounds, if not exactly lulling its opponents into a state of complacency, then at least saving its best for last.All scores are wiped clean for the team, all-around and apparatus finals.U.S. team coordinator Kevin Mazeika said the Americans subscribe too that philosophy to a certain degree as well.dddddddddddd We definitely talked about keeping something in the tank for Monday, he said.Mikulak agreed.Today was about setting a tone for team finals, he said. We didnt want to put on the best show weve ever had in our lives right now. We wanted to just make sure we got out on the equipment, were comfortable and were ready to improve on what we did today.Its just another day at the office, Brooks said. We just did what we needed to do. I think were sitting in good position. Our consistency is pretty good. Its been going well in training. I have all the confidence in the world that these guys are going to smash what we need to. Take away the good and leave the bad. Monday is a new day and we have to keep the ball rolling.Brooks, 29, sat in the stands in London four years ago as a team alternate. On Saturday, he stood in the tunnel before taking the floor with his team and said he became emotional after I talked to my dad a little bit.Brooks lost his father, Larry, who also coached him, in a car accident in 2008. I started to tear up and I was like, No, no, no, its time, you got to get it together. Lets go out there and do some gymnastics.Before they left their rooms, the U.S. gymnasts continued their ritual of reading one of a supply of inspirational sayings provided to them by their physical therapist.Saturdays was an oldie but a goodie: If you believe strongly enough in your pursuit, it will come to fruition.Four years ago, Brooks wasnt entirely sure the U.S. team did that.From where I was sitting in the stands, we just have to keep ourselves together as a team a little bit more, he said. It seemed like after a couple little mistakes in finals last time, the team chemistry wasnt quite there. It didnt seem like they were picking themselves up. I think thats something this team can do. Were good at that.But first, said Danell Leyva, the 2012 all-around bronze medalist who took Orozcos spot on the team this time, they have to put 2012 out of their minds.Theres no point in trying to remember something negative to obtain a positive outcome, Leyva said. Theres nothing we can do about London anymore. We just have to get as ready as we can for Monday. ' ' '
