Oh man now Daytona DH's are just awesome.

[Guest]

Oh man now Daytona DH's are just awesome.

 

There's always a chance they go with a spot starter in game two to keep their rotation set for next week. When I posted, they had Whitenack scheduled to start both games, which probably isn't a great idea, especially since he was under the knife just last year.

Have we heard how they're going to use Hendricks? He pitched 1 inning on Friday and hasn't pitched since.

Oh I just meant they were awesome due to the double helping of the (Little) Big 3

Soler WILL be playing tonight. Awesome.

 

Doug Padilla @ESPNChiCubs

Soler promoted to Peoria. Will play tonight. Team is on the road.

[El Duderino]

Doug Padilla mentioned in his blog that Almora could be promoted soon as well, although I'm not sure if he was just speculating.

 

The Cuba native is one of two highly regarded outfield prospects the Cubs acquired this summer. The other is first-round pick Albert Almora, who has also been playing in Arizona but could also be looking at a promotion in the coming days.

[seattlecub]

I'm hoping Almora gets moved to Boise today, cuz I'm seeing the Hawks play tonight. Not gonna lie, I was momentarily elated to see that Soler got promoted before realizing he was skipping Boise. Still glad he's getting the promotion, but I'd like to be able to see him play. Amaya/hernandez/vogelbach/candelario will have to tide me over (and Tayler Scott pitching tonight, I believe)!

Cool. Another Hawk's fan.

[seattlecub]

yeah, i love having the northwest league to watch. unfortunately, the Iowa Cubs didn't come to Tacoma at all this year, so no chance to see Rizzo/BJax/Vitters.

Now he'll debut tomorrow.

[Guest]

I'll be surprised if Almora is up before the AZL season is over.

[El Duderino]

Whitenack's getting lit up.

[El Duderino]

John Andreoli has a .400 OBP and 48 steals. Too bad he has 0 home runs.

[Guest]

Jake Brigham to the DL.

[El Duderino]

Hendricks is starting game 2, Burke is piggybacking.

 

And apparently Theo will be in Daytona this weekend. Stalkers take note.

 

Roni Torreyes with a 2-out bases loaded single.

 

Villanueva with 2 walks a steal.

[Guest]

Szczur HR.
