Time for Carpenter to re-establish his dominance tonight.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I'll put this here so it gets seen as sort of a PSA.

 

Just about every signed pick from this year(or at least the ones that have started playing) should be added into the Cubs Minors Wiki at www.cubsminors.wikispaces.com. It should prove really useful as we've had a lot more good discussion recently in this forum, which is great. So for those not familiar with it, please check it out, cause feedback is awesome. Also, as you come across reports that would be useful to the Wiki, post them here. As someone who isn't a subscriber to BP, BA, PG, etc., this forum is the chief source of such information that I draw from.

I refer to it regularly - it's a great resource. Thanks for creating it TT!

Junior Lake hit his 6th HR of the year in the 4th inning.

[Vinestal]

Carpenter off to a nice start 1-2-3 1st with 2 Ks

3 up 3 down in the 2nd w/ 1 K

another side set down in order in the 3rd, a pop up and 2 groundouts

perfect again in the 4th 2 more Ks and a groundout

Not a single baserunner or even a ball hit to the OF through 4 for Carpenter. 5 K's through 4.

Thats more like it from Carpenter. Lets hope he puts together a full game just like the 1st 3 innings.

Yeah he's dealing I thought he was going to walk Marrero there in the 4th he had him 3-0 but he came back to K him.

Why cant I get the smokies broadcast tonight? Im having to listen to the Barron's.

Bleh Long is owning the smokies hitters tonight, gonna be a pitchers duel...

[Vinestal]

Well he has walked David Cook to start the 5th =(

He stole second then was driven home on a single. There goes the shutout and no hitter.

 

And he's pulled after 66 pitches, I wonder if he's hurt

He was pulled after 54 pitches after his last outing. I'm going to guess and say the Cubs are trying to protect him from dead arm or potential injuries from over-use.

Well, MiLB.com isn't always accurate when it comes to the rookie league (for example, they list Marcos Perez as a RHP when he's a LHP and they list Dwayne Kemp as a switch hitter when he only hits righty).

 

Burruel's draft scouting report played up his defense.

Chris Rusin with his best outing as a pro today: 5 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K.
