Donnie Mills

This is the problem, no matter who you put on the US team, it's considered a upset? US has had champion after champion after champion and are playing bad. They need a group that wants to be there, not for fun or experience but to WIN. Even Shane has looked disheartened and looked like he didn't want to be there. Donny would be a great pick and any other pro that truly wants to win this. I wouldn't consider it a upset at all , IMODonny Mills would be a great addition to the MC team this year, a very wise choice imo. He has the experience, the talent and he plays good under pressure. We definitely need to shake things up to have a chance against Europe and adding Donny might be part of it.
Oscar is playing great right now and deserves consideration. He is another one who knows how to play under fire. I like Shane, Sky, Donny and Oscar with Justin or Billy filling the last spot. That team might have the right chemistry to pull off the upset.
Could it be that the us feels short race 9b is really a bit of a crapshoot?
It would be hard to get a true sense of something, given a small data set.
Global warming?!
:duck:
That's exactly why I did a 180 and think Dennis hatch needs to be on the team. I have no doubt if he plays he ll give it everything he has and will want to win more than anything
Earl is a winner...and he draws a crowd...both are needed.
I agree.
One thing for sure, just like rules in a pool tournament, no matter who Johann selects, there will be a wave of criticism coming forth about his decisoin-making process. He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't, if you know what I mean.
If race to 9 is a crapshoot, then I guess Shane and Earls US open wins don't mean much?

The cream rises, i will agree, but isnt mosconi cum 22% (55%?) Shorter races?
You arent gonna try and contend svb has an equal chance of beating tham EU players at a race to 5 or 7, as he does to 50 or 100, are you?
John Schmidt's two Cup appearances were in 2006 and 2014.
In all 5 of Shane's US Open 9-Ball wins, the races were to 11 until the Finals, then 13. I don't know about the race length in Earl's first 2 wins, but it looks like it was 11 or 13 in his last 3 wins.
The Mosconi Cup format has changed several times. It was races to 5 the last 3 years.
5/11 means 55% shorter.
Did I do math, or just arithmetic? I am putting that whizz on my resume,
He should win occasionally though lol. Actually he should win way more often
Donny of if you're reading this, you made a hell of a run at the Mosconi Cup team. You had some inspirational play in the tournaments I saw you in.
Here's to a great US Open showing...
Here's to 2018 and a team spot.

I hope he showers as well
Haha, thanks for the catch
I agree. Donny is definitely a great 9-ball player due to his awesome rack reading and breaking skills.
