liria and lopez got crushed for peoria (so did giansanti, but he's an outfielder so who cares)

 

willengton cruz pitched very well: 5.2 ip, 4 h, 1 er, 0 bb, 8 k, 1 hr.

 

brett jackson was 0-3 with a walk and 2 K's for iowa. flaherty was 0-4 and lemahieu was 2-4. dave bush went 2.1 ip, 5 h, 1 er, 2 bb, 3 k, 1 hbp. rusin pitched well in relief, giving up just 1 run on 4 hits in 4 innings (the run came from a home run by hot prospect j.r. towles)

[StarlinOnYou]

Vitters 1/1 with an RBI single so far.

 

.285 average now..

 

I have hope. I think he's going to finish the year hitting .300

Hopefully the gun in Vancouver is slow because Arizona Phil said Cruz was consistently in the low 90s at extended spring training:

 

@BoiseHawksRadio: FInal line on Willengton Cruz - 5 2/3 IP 1 R 4 H 0 BB 8 K...great outing for the lefty...was sitting 88-91 on the gun

[StarlinOnYou]

McNutt with 2 scoreless innings, but now the game is delayed due to rain..

 

Ugh.

gotta treat the minor leagues as a work in progress versus day-2-day stats and bleeding every at bat

 

a good example is this xxxx77 18 year old on the bleed site.............needs to get outta mom's house/basement!

Thanks for the tip!

ok lock it up, from now on we just do a minor league thread each wednesday and talk about what kind of week our prospects just had. that's only for position players though - pitchers we will discuss on the second thursday of each month.

Once a week? Dude, quit dissecting everything. You're looking at such a small sample and making premature assumptions. I say we only have a thread at the end of every season, where we discuss which players we were really proud of, and which players we were kinda proud of. But we can't draw any conclusions, cuz their career isn't over.

also don't put down a guy who hit .260 as a 24 year old in peoria. just because he was a 35th round draft pick out of some school you've never heard of in kentucky doesn't mean he's not a real prospect!

[Illini Iceman]

I would comment about this but I haven't been in the batter box against someone who can bring it so my opinion would therefore not be of any value.

[TruffleShuffle]

i think you mean the hot box.

Guess who's NOT sucking for the AZL Cubs at the moment?

got his era down under 10!

McNutt went 2 scoreless before the game was suspended. Too bad he's run into 2 rain-shortened outings in a row.

[utkcub]

apparently matt szcuzr straight stole home tonight? also 2 for 5

[CubsWin]

And so did Zeke DeVoss. I wonder when the last time two guys in the same organization stole home on the same day?
