I remember hearing this offseason that Rizzo had adjusted his swing a bit. Has anyone seen anything about this as of late?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Iowa lineup:

 

1. Campana

2. Jackson

3. Valbuena

4. Rizzo

5. Wright

6. Cardenas

7. Lalli

8. Vitters

9. Wells

 

Interested as to why Vitters is batting 8th.

[davell]

My guess is so he'll have to acquire some plate discipline. He'll be pitched around with the pitcher due up next. I like it a lot myself.

[Linguistic Man]

Wells struggling today. 3IP 6H 4ER 2K getting hit pretty hard.

 

Vitters with a hit, Rizzo with a walk and a run. Vitters' defense also looking decent(at least the time I've been watching).

Wells struggling today. 3IP 6H 4ER 2K getting hit pretty hard.

 

Ugh. Have to wonder if it's mental rut as a result of being sent down after almost 3 seasons in the big leagues.

Vitters with two line drive hits today

[ctcf]

Vitters with two line drive hits today

 

Up to a .438 BA at the moment

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Wells is at least starting to miss some bats. I'm not completely disappointed with this start despite the run total.

[Linguistic Man]

Wells is at least starting to miss some bats. I'm not completely disappointed with this start despite the run total.

 

He's now retired the last 10 batters he's faced with 5Ks on the day. Salvaged the day though he's been helped by a strong wind blowing in.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Vitters adds to his two singles with an 8-pitch walk.

Currently sporting a 3/2 BB/K ratio

The Cubs Way....learn it!

[Guest]

If Vitters starts to walk at a decent rate and improves the defense to decent...he's going to be a really good prospect for us again.

 

I knew I was right to never leave the bandwagon!

Learn it, know it, live it.

Ahhh so it's like the Masters where the previous winner has to be the one to award it?

Torreyes and Szczur both 2/3 thus far tonight, Torreyes with a double.

 

Marco Hernandez is now 2/20, down to .100 at Peoria.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Struck may not have been as stellar ad he was last time but still with a respectable line:

6 IP 6 H 2 ER 2 BB 5 K

[iowahawkeyes89]
