MiLB Gameday is awesome, now I can listen to Ron and watch the I-Cubs at the same time!

[Jon]

They have replay on the broadcast, so hopefully they'll show Pie's grand slam when he comes up again.

 

Hill is very impressive tonight.

[texascub]

Mateo works another perfect inning, and he's retired the first 12 batters he's faced.

[texascub]

Hill is very impressive tonight.

 

Are you listening to the I-Cubs game? I'm curious as to how Gwynn Jr. went from 1st to 3rd on a groundout to the 3rd baseman.

[Chris]

The Jaxx pitching staff is dealing!

Watching. He was running on the groundout and got into third just before the throw back from first.

 

By the way, the scoreboard animations are starting to freak me out.

[Chris]

Jaxx now 7/8 in steal attempts after the steal by Walker

If he could start getting on base a little more often, he could be a good bench player at the ML level.

[texascub]

Mateo's perfect game is over, he made a nice play to barehand a ball but threw it past 1b and the runner ended up with 2nd. I believe it is scored as a single and an error.

[Chris]

Sounds like Walker should've had an assist

 

Barons on the board

[texascub]

Another one scores, but the runner was thrown out trying to stretch a double into a triple. Frederico Baez is now warming in the pen.

[Chris]

Ugh, tie game

[Jon]

Hill is settling down. He's retired the last 6 in a row and a few of the batters were caught guessing.

[texascub]

2 runs, 3 hits, and 1 error in that last inning. Lets hope Mateo can gather up the pieces and keep going.

[Jon]

Bah, no replay. And Felix flied out to center.

 

Hopefully they'll archive the game so we can watch the grand slam tonight.

 

By the way, Ben Sheets is scheduled to make his last rehab start tomorrow against Iowa. He'll throw about 80-85 pitches. Hopefully that game will be on MiLB.tv, too.

[Chris]

Apparently blue is confusing the scoreboard operator

stupid tuesday afternoon game...

 

another good inning for hill...less than 10 pitches plus a k.

[Jon]

By the way, in case anyone wants the Iowa video feed in a media player like Winamp or VLC that you can keep on top, just copy and paste this link: mms://a1503.l1086953389.c10869.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/1503/10869/v0001/reflector:53389

[texascub]

Jaxx are threatening in the 7th with runners on 1st and 2nd with 0 outs. Rojas tried to bunt both runners over but the catcher nailed Ritchie at 3rd, so runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out.

[texascub]

Bases loaded with 1 out, E-Patt coming up. Pitching change right now though, so we'll have to wait for the 2nd grand slam of the night.

[texascub]

E-Patt with a sac fly, Greenberg scores and both other runners advanced 90 feet.

[Chris]

No slam, but an RBI for EPatt

[Flames24Rulz]

No slam, but an RBI for EPatt

 

i'll take it :)

 

5-2 Iowa after 6.

[Chris]

Speaking of Eric, don't forget to ask Eric a question in his Q & A. Comments and best wishes are welcome as well!

[CubsWin]

Hill's day is done. Final line:

 

6 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, 1 HR.

 

Not too shabby.
