4/5 Arizona (Enright) @ Chicago (Cashner) 1:20PM CSN

yessssss

[UMFan83]

Tyco!

[Rob]

Glad to see the offense giving Cashner a cushion.

[JonJayCutler]

This pitcher has nothing.

[Sammy Sofa]

Was Bob saying Wally "Bipp" or "Pipp?"

[UMFan83]

Should have known it would be the game where Pena and Soto sit that the offense would start to hit a bit.

Uhhhhhh...

 

They've been hitting.

[Guest]

This pitcher has nothing.

 

And the Cubs are taking advantage of it.

 

And an Aaron Heilman sighting.

[Sammy Sofa]

Creepy Ginger Beard has zilch.

And an Aaron Heilman sighting.

 

Apparently he was in the running to start for the Diamondbacks.

 

Let that sink in.

Ya, he sucks. The Dbacks are in for a long season.

[CubmanPi]

Monster seasons out of Colvin and Cashner could make this summer very exciting.

Mind-bottling.

Sure....I should have clarified, I meant like a breakout 7+ run game. And yes I know I posted prematurely.

[Prizefight]

The Binny's attendance game is legit early in the season. Not just an automatic 40,500 guess

It's not that crazy-Braden Looper was in the run for the Cubs job after all. Heilman could be one of those guys who could have been a mediocre reliever or a mediocre starter in the league.

Looper was in the running in the sense that if he showed up in camp and magically started shooting laser beams out of his fingertips and Cashner and Silva had a slapfight (over Silva eating Russell and Coleman alive) that ended up with both of them needing TJ surgery, then Looper might have been the 5th starter.

[JonJayCutler]

Knock it off Starlin.

[Prizefight]

Future 2nd basemen with a stellar play

[Omar]

Does anyone know of a Twitter feed that does Cubs PBP? Or at least score updates every half inning?

[Rob]

And that's why we keep seeing Castro trying to make these plays... because sometimes he can.

[sneakypower]

it's great watching the replay of the Roberts HR from AZ broadcast

 

"Roberts KILLS IT to deep LF!"

 

(it half-lazily drops in the basket)

Well yeah but that could have been the case for Heilman as well. They may have humored him..we know how much he has wanted to start for a long time now.

 

With Cashner possibly on a pitch count today, it's great to see the very good control and quick innings. Did anyone hear how many pitches he threw in the minor leagues last week?

[Rob]

Cubs #5 starter Andrew Cashner made his final Arizona start this morning on Field #1, throwing three innings (and getting hammered) in an intrasquad game between the Iowa Cubs and the Tennessee Smokies

 

No idea on pitch count.

[sneakypower]

gameday had that pitch at 98
