5/14 Padres (Gaudin) @ Cubs (Dempster) 1:20 CSN

[TruffleShuffle]

How IS Vitters doing this year anyway?

 

 

And has Wieters been called up yet?

 

Vitters has a .308/.348/.449 line so far this year.

 

Wieters has not been called up. His line in AAA is .263/.366/.368.

 

Peoria is A-ball right? With Boise & Daytona being low-A ?

 

daytona is high A, peoria is low A, boise is short season A.

Boise is short season rookie ball, Peoria is low A, and Daytona is high A

[CyHawk_Cub]

Thanks guys...don't know why I thought Daytona was low A

[Brian]

Bob working on his stand up routine... "what's the deal with poker announcers?"

[TruffleShuffle]

go away gerut.

[mul21]

Looks like at the very least Ascanio will throw strikes.

[Little Slide Rooter]

If he gives up anything to a Padre not named Adrian, its an automatic demotion to Daytona.

[Brian]

The mere mention of the Macias name makes me shiver.

[mul21]

Anybody have a quick rundown on Ascanio's stuff? Gameday showing him throwng FB, curve, slider, and change. What's his out pitch? Looks like he throws the change with a lot of confidence and for strikes so far.

[TruffleShuffle]

nice to see that there's one macias on earth that can hit.

[Hall7810]

Ascanio sporting the Duaner Sanchez/Kevin Gregg eye wear.

[Brian]

wow give up the long HR to some guy named Macias, and then blow away the hottest hitter in the majors on 3 pitches.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Macias is a few more of those away from demanding a trade.

[TruffleShuffle]

he might've gotten squeezed out of a strikeout against macias. good inning, let him go one more - no patton, we already know he sucks so it would be nice to find out as much about ascanio as we can.

[Careless]

not a bad swing

I think Ascanio is fastball/slider/change.

[TruffleShuffle]

i feel like miles is getting all his hits in low leverage spots and chokes every time the game is close or there are RISP.

[Hall7810]

His pause through the windup is odd.

[Brian]

not exactly murder's row but a real nice 9th there.

[TruffleShuffle]

nice to see two solid innings from ascanio. hopefully that's enough to get him some 6th/7th inning work rather than waiting for 10 run blowouts.

[Brian]

Cubs are 10-3 in May, that doesn't sound right with all the crap that has gone wrong.

Thats just because fans were overreacting WAY more then they should have been. Right now the Cubs are 20-14 and one game ahead of the 19-15 record they had last season after 34 games. Last season team had issues as well, but probably not as many and this season team has had a tough schedule. This team is good and will be in the playoffs and my opinion of the team has never changed. Too bad so many people bash this team when things go bad for a stretch.

One pitch to Braun away from being in first, by ourselves.

[Brian]

Hendry is supposedly talking to the media about Bradley's suspension right now.

What's "too bad" about it?
