Brett Jackson only expected to be out a week thankfully.

[CubsWin]

McNutt out after two good innings. Is he just on a low pitch count because he's been out the last couple weeks and they're easing him back in?

Dustin Geiger and Kyung-Min Na with strong games.

What has McNutt been out with? I know he had the blister earlier this season, but didn't know why he's missed his last couple starts.

The very vague "hand injury."

[Guest]

Per the Smokies Twitter, they aren't sure why McNutt was pulled after 2.

Fantastic...

Little Szczur has missed a few games, apparently went back to Villanova for graduation.

 

Very nice to see Kurcz back in the starting rotation. His control is poor, but his ERA has not somehow gotten down below 3.0. He's only allowed like one run in his last four games. So hopefully his stuff is shaping up; and he's going to vindicate himself as a prospect of some sort. For whatever reason I think of him being older than 20.

 

Maybe because I associate 20-year-olds with having velocity projection left, and I doubt that applies much for Kurcz.

Correct. Nathan mentioned that in yesterday's thread. He had also missed a couple games with some injury (I'm not sure what, but he was day-to-day) after sliding into second during Tuesday's game.

ok i know c-springs is a hitter's park but come on iowa, this is ridiculous. 5 home runs allowed by coello yesterday, and 40 runs allowed in 3 games so far (two of which were 7 innings long). so 40 runs allowed in 23 innings. awesome.

Did we ever find out why McNutt was lifted after 2 innings Fri night?
