[Jon]

Iowa: Jeff Samardzija (0-1, 4.50)

Tennessee: Esmailin Caridad (1-0, 3.27 - 6-4, 4.41 at Daytona)

Daytona: Grant Johnson (0-1, 7.50 - 1-1. 6.89 at Tennessee)

Peoria: Dae-Eun Rhee (4-1, 1.22)

Boise: Jose Pina (0-0, 2.25)

 

Happy Rhee Day, everyone.

[Soul]

I'll report my layman's view on Samardzjia at some point -- whenever I feel like connecting to the internets.

[CubColtPacer]

Samardzija has had horrible control today, and normally that's a huge problem, especially against the very dangerous Alberquerque offense. He has managed to wriggle out time after time today because he has kept the ball on the ground, gotten some key double plays, gotten a key strikeout or two, and his catcher has caught two guys stealing. He's at 101 pitches through 6.

 

Samardzija: 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 6 BB's, 4 K's.

[TruffleShuffle]

rhee sucked so far... 3.0 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 4 BB, 2 K

[TruffleShuffle]

4.0 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 6 BB, 3 K. terrible.

[wvcbxl]

Holy smoke.

 

The AZL Cubs won 18-1 against the AZL Royals today. box

Some dude named Pie played CF and had 5 RBI's; maybe we should keep an eye on that one. :lol:

 

Nice to see Dwayne Kemp get his first professional hits today.

[Jon]

Glad Pie is playing. Hopefully he'll be back up to Iowa soon.

 

I wasn't able to find the minor league roster rules. How long can Hill stay on Iowa's 7-day DL?

[Outshined_One]

3 of them, with 2 doubles! :D

 

Justin Bristow also made his debut today. It didn't go so well, but still, yay!

[TruffleShuffle]

How long can Hill stay on Iowa's 7-day DL?

 

this seems like a dumb question, though i'm sure it's not.

Can stay on the DL forever if needed. I don't think he's going to pitch in the minors anytime soon. I wonder if he will just be reassigned to Mesa officially soon.

[TruffleShuffle]

mark reed is catching for tennessee today? what the dilly yo?

[CUBZ99]

Good to see Bristow pitching in games already.

[CUBZ99]

Got his first AA HR to top it off.

Samardzija: 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 6 BB's, 4 K's.

 

I wish I could say how fast he was throwing today but I don't trust the gun. His FB was showing up anywhere from 90 - 94 MPH. He struggled with control, but the Isos couldn't get much good contact against him.

 

Some pretty good defense behind him today too, other than the dropped ball in the outfield (though they had one too, and it looked like everyone was struggling with balls hit in the air as it was bright & sunny).

 

Got to see 2/3 ICubs wins. It definitely helped me keep my mind off the disaster that is the Cubs/Sox series.

 

Caught a foul ball today too :) It was a screamer that rebounded hard off the skyboxes.

[TruffleShuffle]

game time temp in boise was 100... ouch

[Andrew Cashner]

Josh Vitters now has a 12 game hit streak with a single in the 4th.

[Andrew Cashner]

And Rebel Ridling continues his hot streak with a 3 run homer in the 4th.

[TruffleShuffle]

is rebel ridling a real prospect or just a guy with a cool name

[Outshined_One]

is rebel ridling a real prospect or just a guy with a cool name

 

He's a senior sign whom we drafted this year. He could be a real prospect, but the Cubs should start moving him up in the system before we start thinking of him as such.

[CubColtPacer]

Daytona is still going. In the 18th inning now.

[Outshined_One]

Daytona is still going. In the 18th inning now.

 

There are some lines in that game I'm looking forward to posting. That is one ugly extra inning game.

maybe he's on the matt craig plan. but seriously, i have a hard time seeing how a senior sign who was drafted in the 25th round is much of a prospect unless he does something extremely unexpected.

Murdering the ball in Boise is rather unexpected.

 

If he can keep something like this up in Peoria later this season, he'll be on my prospect radar. For now, I'm keeping an eye on him.

only one error so far tonight for vitters
