For the #Cubs fans wondering why Jorge Soler is not in the lineup tonight, he is sick. No worries - just under the weather.

[davell]

Cautiously optimistic at least.

Smokies are facing Taijuan Walker tonight.

[Guest]

Lendy Castillo up to Tennessee and will pitch tonight.

[davell]

Smokies are facing Taijuan Walker tonight.

Iowa's going against Bauer.

[ctcf]

It's funny how quiet these threads will probably be during Daytona off-days.

[El Duderino]

Soler DH'ing.

[rawaction]

Soler's in the lineup. Cleanup, playing DH.

[rawaction]

Pierce Johnson gives up a single to start the game. Picks him off, gets a groundout and a K to start his career!

Awesome

[El Duderino]

Jeffrey Baez went 3/5 with two doubles for the DSL Cubs1. 17 year-old lefty Jose Paulino was decent, 4/1 K/BB in 5 innings.

This is his second start of his career. :-$

And sniping commences again.

[THISisTHEyear09]

Couple questions on Johnson. What does his fastball get up to? and Assuming he succeeds this year where will he start next year? Peoria or Daytona?

[El Duderino]

Remembering scouting reports here, but I think he's a guy that sits 91-93 and has no problem touching 95.

92-94, tops out at 96. I think there's a good chance he starts at Daytona and it's dependent on how he does in fall instructs and spring training.

[TruffleShuffle]

is it a bad sign for justin berg's career that he has an 8.31 ERA as a 28 year old in low A ball?

[Irrelevant Dude]

is it a bad sign for justin berg's career that he has an 8.31 ERA as a 28 year old in low A ball?

Nah, it's just a hitter's league.

[ctcf]

is it a bad sign for justin berg's career that he has an 8.31 ERA as a 28 year old in low A ball?

 

That he is Justin Berg is a bad sign for Justin Berg's career.

[Little Slide Rooter]

is it a bad sign for justin berg's career that he has an 8.31 ERA as a 28 year old in low A ball?

 

More importantly, is it a bad sign for the pitching in the Cubs organization that Justin Berg's still a part of it?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Is Dae Eun Rhee even in our top 50 anymore?

[Magnetic Curses]

vogelbach out?

[El Duderino]

vogelbach out?

 

Boise's roster is pretty crowded, just a day off.
