OVERALL: 4-1

RHP Billy Muldowney promoted from Peoria to Daytona. RHP Alberto Cabrera called up from extended spring training (if he ever made it that far) and RHP Kevin Kreier bumped up to Peoria's rotation. Probables will be up around 10 am ET tomorrow morning, I'm too tired now.

[rawaction]

Hill will hopefully get a chance to get on the mound today. Of course, he hasn't pitched since last Friday, thanks to a day off right before his turn and the rainout yesterday.....so, he'll probably have control problems. YAY!

 

God has a sense of humor. Cubs probably have a strong shot at the playoffs this year, but the future keeps getting dimmer.

Nice. Muldowney needed to get back on track and it's good to see him moved up.

[Guest]

Probable Starters:

 

Iowa (game one): LHP Rich Hill (at AAA: 1-2, 4.41 ERA, 16.1 IP, 20 K/11 BB)

Iowa (game two): RHP Randy Wells (at AAA: 4-1, 2.35 ERA, 38.1 IP, 37 K/12 BB)

Tennessee: RHP Tanner Watson (1-1, 4.93 ERA, 49.1 IP, 31 K/19 BB)

Daytona: RHP Esmailin Caridad (5-4, 4.33 ERA, 60.1 IP, 28 K/14 BB)

Peoria: RHP Hung-Wen Chen (1-3, 3.33 ERA, 48.2 IP, 30 K/11 BB)

 

The Chiefs are taking on Blake Beaven.

[Guest]

Also, Iowa LHP Randy Keisler was granted free agency after opting out of his contract (he had a clause that allowed him to do that after a certain number of starts).

Right, last start aside, Muldowney was ready to go up once his arm was up to speed. I was hoping that Mark Pawelek would get the call to Peoria's rotation after pitching well in Mesa, rather than seeing him go back to Boise yet again. Granted Kreier hasn't done a thing to not deserve the chance (though I'd still prefer Cabrera starting).

[weis21]

Just a quick nonrelated question, what's Tony Thomas' ceiling? Possibly better than E Patt?

[Guest]

[abuck1220]

good third inning for hill, imo. seemed like he was throwing more strikes than he did the first two innings. gave up a run, but it was unearned.

 

i'll leave the batter-by-batter to raisin, but had patterson made a good relay throw on the 6-4 fc, he would have escaped a bases loaded, no outs inning unscathed.

[imb]

Lol Chris Lubanksi.

 

Deemed a wasted pick shortly after the Royals drafted him, but at least he made it to AAA

[Guest]

Thanks, abuck. Not listening but good to hear he could have gotten out of it in the 3rd.

 

Rich Hill in the bottom of the third:

 

Damaso Espino walks.

David Metranga reaches on an E-7 (Matt Murton). Espino to second base.

Mitch Maier bunt singles to the pitcher. Espino to third base, Metranga to second base.

Billy Butler grounds into a 5-2 force out, Espino out at home. Metranga to third base, Maier to second base, Butler to first. One out.

Ryan Shealy grounds into a 6-4-3 fielders choice, Butler out at second base and Shealy safe at first. Metranga scores, Maier to third base. Two outs.

Jason Smith strikes out swinging. Three outs.

 

3 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 3 K/3 BB, 3 GO-3 FO, 55 pitches

[Mizzou]

God, more walks? Come on Rich.

[abuck1220]

ugh...walks the bases loaded.

 

edit: gets out of it. what is wrong with this guy, seriously?

[Guest]

Geez, 6 walks.

[Flames24Rulz]

Very erratic line: 4 IP, 1 hit, 1 run, 0 ER, 3 K's/6 BB's, 5 GO's/4 FO's, 81 pitches (40 strikes).

 

What the hell has happened to his control?

[Guest]

Rich Hill, bottom of the 4th inning:

 

Damon Hollins walks.

Ed Lucas flies out to CF. One out.

Hollins steals second base.

Chris Lubanski walks.

Damaso Espino flies out to left field. Two outs.

David Matranga walks. Hollins to third, Lubanski to second.

Coaching visit.

Mitch Maier grounds out, 4-3. Three outs.

 

4 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 3 K/6 BB, 5 GO-4 FO, 81 pitches (40 strikes)

[Guest]

Felix with an RBI double!

[imb]

It's mental, it has to be.

 

The Cubs pulled him early in games at the beginning of the year to keep him from getting smashed and then they sent him to AAA to work on his mechanics and he struggled and then got hurt. I don't buy a lot of the amateur psychology that goes around, but I can't understand how a guy could totally lose his mechanics so quick.

 

The Cubs seem to think that he's fragile and everything that's happened so far points that way.

 

I hope he gets it back.

[Guest]

Rich Hill's bottom of the 5th inning:

 

Billy Butler walks.

Ryan Shealy called out on strikes. One out.

Jason Smith called out on strikes. Two outs.

Damon Hollins grounds out, 5-3. Three outs.

 

5 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 5 K/7 BB, 6 GO-4 FO, 98 pitches (51 strikes)

 

I would think that's his final line.

[Guest]

Hey, the only 1 hit he gave up was a bunt single. :|

[NCCubFan]

Only one hit allowed, 5 strikeouts in 5 innings, no earned runs allowed, but 7 walks. Good, good, good, very very bad.

[CUBZ99]

If Hill can just avoid getting totally destroyed in AAA, I got to think he would still be a valuable trading chip at the deadline. Some team will still view him as a top pitching prospect and think they can turn him around. His walk totals this year are very disturbing.

[Guest]

YUSUF Carter has two 3-run HRs. :shock: Ryan Harvey also hit a solo shot.
