I asked Dillon Maples when he'll get to pitch his first game on Twitter yesterday and he responded with " sometime in July". Makes me wonder if he's even throwing regularly yet.

BB: Learned that former #Cubs farmhand Chris Archer will be called up to Rays and likely start tomorrow night in Washington

 

Oddly enough, I'll be at that game.

[JockJones]

I was just thinking about the Garza trade. What's going on with Zach Rosscup?

Justin Bour is in the final for the SL HR Derby.

If he's pitching his first game sometime in July ... I hope he's throwing somewhat regularly right now. Otherwise that would seem to be a tremendous strain to get him ready for a real game in July.

still rehabbing, IIRC, but off the top, can't recall what the injury was.

[El Duderino]

I don't even remember how Dillon Maples got hurt.

I just Google searched him because I had no idea what he looks like...seems he's lost a lot of weight over the years. And he wears his hat so Fernando Rodney.

@Kevin_Goldstein

 

He was awful tonight. Sat 89, 3 bb. QT @rknox12: Saw Burke a couple years ago in Peoria, any chance he makes it as a loogy?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Jackson with a 2-strike, opposite-field line drive single, scores from first on a double.

 

I really, really want him to just have it figured it out in the second half and go back to being awesome.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Rodrigo Lopez throws to first with the runner already standing on the bag. Rizzo wasn't ready and it gets away. Rizzo charged with the error.

luis acosta, who signed for $1.1m last year, has struck out 30 times in 14 games for DSL cubs 1. yikes.

Those latin american players never keep their head in the game.

Italian Americans, Latin Americans, same difference. He was probably just thinking about pizza and Dean Martin.

Still no Szczur, btw.

On pace for over 20 hr in a 600 PA season.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Jackson with a hit, a walk, and two brettjacksons tonight.
