[toonsterwu]

Yeah, Vitters should get that SLG above his OBP now (just realized that his SLG had fell below his OBP entering today).

 

Well, Brett has a 3-game hitting streak. Let's see if he can get on a bit of a roll.

Outstanding.

[Rizzo Smash]

Iowa Cubs blew a save as well.

Technically, yes. But Rusin walked the bases loaded in the 7th with no outs and the reliever gave up a game-tying double.

Vitters HR

 

Huzzah! Huzzah!

 

Hopefully he has a good May...IIRC He tore up last May until he got hit by a pitch at some point in time....hopefully there's that without the HBP part.

[JockJones]

Matt Loosen got touched up a little bit (3 ER's in 3 innings), but Hayden Simpson followed that with a 1-2-3 4th with a K.

[pitchcs]

Call him up

[JockJones]

Call him up

 

This just in. Two straight scoreless innings from Simpson. Yep, he's definitely going to pan out.

[JockJones]

The impossible is happening. 3 scoreless innings of 1-hit ball, with 0 walks. Color me impressed.

Results are great & all, but any reports on his velocity?

Probably something uninspiring.

[JockJones]

I was correct.

 

@daytonacubs 86-88 with the fastball tonight.

[JockJones]

You probably don't believe this, but Simpson just struck out the side according to Daytona's website. 4 in., 1 hit, 4 k's, 0 BB's.

[TruffleShuffle]

did the other team forget to send batters to home plate in that half inning?

Supposedly two of the K's were of the swinging variety. Clearwater has obviously given up.

[toonsterwu]

Hey, back to back games with hits for Marco Hernandez (granted, 2 isn't that inspiring, but considering his season so far, I'll take it).

[Guest]

Nobody has mentioned it yet, but McNutt is still broken: 2.2IP 5R 2BB 1K

G'dammit he's annoying.

[toonsterwu]

The mildly plus side is that it was only 2 earned runs (error by Cerda to start the inning). The negative side is that the error led off the inning - he just didn't make the pitches necessary, and compounded things with his own error.

I'm actually hoping that Simpson has been trolling Cubs fans this whole time. Keeping my fingers crossed.
