I want to get a dog and call him Rizzo, but I'm pretty sure all my friends will think I'm naming him after this.

Rizzo is bored with your minor league pitching.

At the I Cubs gm. volstad give up 5 in the top of the first. Velocity was down and wasn't fooling anyone. 5 isn't too bad though right?

He figured if he got his inning of doom out of the way early, then people could say he settled down and pitched 4 strong innings.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Oh look, Brett Jackson is 0-for-2 with 2 Ks.

Well he's settled down and put up 0s in innings 2 thru 4. Jackson's 2nd K was swinging at a pitch in the dirt. Looked awful

Hayden Simpson was reassigned to Boise evidently. Good lord.

At least the I-Cubs aren't facing a AAAA junkballer today. Odorizzi is a pretty good prospect. /optimist

[wekim81]

Rizzo left gm with an injury. Slid into dugout area for a foul ball and appeared to be favoring his knee. Not too good. At least he walked off under his own power

This better be precautionary.

You never can tell, but the radio guys weren't describing it as that bad. Said he gathered up his own stuff in the dugout and walked back to the clubhouse.

That's why you leave that type of [expletive] to to Tony Campanas and Reed Johnsons.

Hopefully he just cut up/scraped his knee or leg and it's nothing more than that.

Doesn't sound like it.

 

@hawkeyedsm Rizzo walks to top step after inning, stretches out his right leg, then walks to clubhouse. Very light limp.

 

Also, I thought this was amusing.

 

@Kevin_Goldstein Asked long time manager about the Baez 3-0 swing situation and what he'd say to the opposing pitcher. His response: "Well kid, you're going to throw at this guy now, so have some fun with it."

[Cubswin11]

Nothing more from the radio guys (if anyone is listening) or the iCubs twitter on Rizzo??
