Our Starters Today:

 

Jon Nagel (vs. Tyler Blandford)

Alberto Cabrera (vs. Dan Merklinger)

Austin Bibens-Dirkx (vs. Scott Diamond)

Thomas Diamond (vs. Marco Estrada)

[TruffleShuffle]

good start for alberto cabrera today (not sure if he's done), although the BABIP fairy was kind to him: 6 ip, 2 h, 0 r, 0 bb, 2 k, 8/8 GO/FO.

 

thomas diamond has been pretty good - 4 ip, 3 h, 1 r, 1 bb, 4 k.

 

so far jon nagel has been good - 3 ip, 2 h, 0 r, 0 bb, 6 k. i'm interested to see how he does this year... last year was his first one off TJS; by now he should have his stuff and command back to where they were before the operation.

[TruffleShuffle]

nagel gave up 4 straight hits in the 4th and was pulled. the babip fairy was not so kind to him (.750).

[davell]

Not sure if it's just my computer or not, but......Truffle, where are you getting in-game boxscores for Daytona and Peoria? Milb.com is showing me Iowa and Tennessee's, but not Daytona and Peoria's for some reason......

 

Castro has an RBI single in the first, by the way.

[davell]

Castro is now 2-2 with 2 RBI singles.

[davell]

Well, they took away an RBI from the updated box score and gave it to Ty Wright. That said, Castro now has a SB to go along with a triple. He's now 3-3, with a triple, a run scored, an RBI, and a SB.

[toonsterwu]

There's a part of me rooting for a guy like Mike Perconte. Unless memory is slipping me, he was a UDFA. Solid effort today.

 

I'm trying to find positives in the D-Cubs bats despite the slow start, and I like the fact that Brett is taking walks.

 

I hope T. Diamond can keep this up. that would be a sweet pickup.

 

Obviously, excited about Starlin.

 

Not sure what I expected out of Austin Bibens-Dirkx, but he did better than that today.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Its good to see Starlin lighting it up, but all of our other position player prospects are off to very slow starts.

[Guest]

Man, what happened to Tony Thomas? How disappointing.

[wekim81]

Sasser must have really been bringin it last night if he struck out 2 in 1/3 of an inning.

[Cubswin11]

Man, what happened to Tony Thomas? How disappointing.

Yeah I thought he was going to be our 2B of the future when we drafted him. I really liked that pick.

[toonsterwu]

ugh, I can remember how excited I was by his performance in Boise and the fact that some thought he was just tapping into his ability. Hey ... at least he's taking walks right now. It's gonna be tough for him to get time at 2nd, with Flaherty there, Samson, Opitz perhaps, and a guy like LeMahieu behind. I half-wonder if they'll ask him to pick up and OF glove, but if not, he may need to maximize all his opportunities early to stick around.
