I'm blown away at how many errors there are in these games.

I'm blown away at how many errors there are in these games.

 

It can be quite startling, but frequently just a combination of inexperience, over aggressiveness, and minor league field conditions. Remember even superb defensive players in the bigs have had seasons where it looks like they must be playing drunk from all the errors they ring up.

[El Duderino]

any news on Rosario or Alcantara?

[Ballgame64]

After rain delay they are about to get started in Peoria. Oneri Flieta is here with phone to his ear and a few scouts talking to him.

[Little Slide Rooter]

any news on Rosario or Alcantara?

 

This recently popped up on Twitter.

 

@daytonacubs: Alcantara has some leg soreness. He's expected back as early as this weekend. No definite timetable set though. @Cubsminorswrap @Drewboke

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Vitters adds a double in his second AB, after tripling in his first.

[Ballgame64]

Baez with sac fly to right field. Scouts are focusing on pitcher from Cedar Rapids. The kid is throwing in mid 90s.

[ctcf]

Trey Lang ‏@T23Lang

First professional start tonight! #TurnUp

[Ballgame64]

Baez now 2-2 with sac fly with 2 rbi. He just singled up the middle with runners on 1st and 3rd. Nice baserunning also to take 2nd on the throw to 3rd. He has handled the two or three chances in the field flawlessly.

[TruffleShuffle]

vitters is a home run short of the cycle. brett jackson has seen 20 pitches in 3 plate appearances (good) but 2 of them ended in strikeouts (bad).

[El Duderino]

bean ball war in boise, lol. benches warned

[Vinestal]

bean ball war in boise, lol. benches warned

Can you imagine having Rock Shoulders and Dan Voglebach on your side in a bench clearing brawl? I'd love to be there to see that.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Jae Hoon Ha was taken off the field on a stretcher after crashing into the outfield wall.

[El Duderino]

arias must have great movement on his fastball tonight. everyone is just pounding it into the ground. boise announcer said he was 94-96

[Vinestal]

Soler with a hit and a SB in the first.

[TruffleShuffle]

for God's sakes brett jackson stop striking out all the [expletive] time.

[ctcf]

Nothing like another 3K night!

[El Duderino]

jose arias dealing. k rate still sucks but lots of weak contact

 

i'd say he threw at least 70% fastballs

[ctcf]

Baez is 2-2 with a sac fly and another HBP

[El Duderino]

lmao. arias came out for the 7th and hit the first guy. arias and manager mark johnson ejected

[ctcf]

Almora with an RBI double and Soler with a walk.

[El Duderino]

wilson contreras ejected in the boise game for leading with his forearm in a homeplate collision. wow

[ctcf]

Vitters leads off the tenth with a BB
