The Cubs will play an intrasquad game Wednesday at HoHoKam Park. Rich Hill and Angel Guzman will be the starting pitchers.

 

[Soul]

I need to get out of this winter nightmare. Spring can't come soon enough.

Found this little note on Guzman in the Trib.

Top pitching prospects Angel Guzman and Rich Hill are the starters in Wednesday's intrasquad game, although they will go only for an inning or so. Shoulder problems have curtailed Guzman's rise, making him a question mark despite his obvious talent.

 

Pitching coach Larry Rothschild told manager Dusty Baker that Guzman is back to where he was before his injuries. Still, Guzman is a dark horse to make the club out of spring training.

 

"If he's healthy, he's probably more than a sleeper, but he needs to pitch," Baker said. "Even though he has the skill and ability, he needs the innings. . . . He also needs the endurance, being in all kinds of adverse situations to learn how to deal with it when he gets here. The main thing is we want him healthy too."

I wish these games were broadcast on tv/radio.

Not to start an intrasquad game thread here, but Guzman went 1-2-3 in the first, getting Pie to pop out and striking out Neifi and Grissom.

I'm extremely jealous right now.

[snoodmonger]

Not exactly murderers row, but still, good news.

... and striking out Neifi and Grissom.

Thanks, Bruce. Feel free to provide live, up to the minute updates any time.

 

Can I look forward to a report on the game tomorrow morning on the Herald's website?

too late!

 

pitch by pitch analysis of hill's outing, please. :D

[Bruce Miles]

Hill is wild. Walks to Pierre and Walker followed by a 2-RBI double by Lee to left-center. I'll write about it for tomorrow and provide updates as I can today.

plz use against all RHP

[Bruce Miles]

Aramis takes a called third to end the inning, probably on pitch count.

No thanks. Grissom won't make the team and Neifi won't get enough at bats to make me care.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Goooooooooooz!

[Chocolate Milk]

Walks to Pierre and Walker followed by a 2-RBI double by Lee to left-center.

 

:D

[Bruce Miles]

If Grissom is healthy and has any kind of spring, he WILL make the team.

[Lefty]

Your A team lineup is: Pierre, Walker, Lee, Ramirez, Jones, Barrett, Murton, Cedeno and Hairston as DH

 

Boy that #5 hitter sticks out like a swollen middle finger.

[Gunned]

Reading that Pierre and Walked walked, then Lee hit a double to score them both is ruining my pessimism.

[CuseCubFan69]

Does it look like Hill is trying to be too cute or is he just flat out missing the plate?

[Bruce Miles]

In the top of 2, Wellemeyer gets Restovich on a called third strike, McGehee on a fly to center and Blanco on a fly to left. He had the hitters out in front with offspeed.

Bouncing a lot of curveballs 5 feet in front of the plate.

And he will spend his season... ?

[Bruce Miles]

Jacque Jones with a bomb over the wall down the right field line off Hill leading off the second. 3-0.
