2013 Spring Training Game Thread

Baez smoked a ball to SS, Starlin made a diving stop and got Soler at 2nd is how Javy's 2nd AB went. Schierholtz and Bogusevic have HR's, by the way.

 

Nice. What Twitter are you following this all on? I didn't see a lot of that on Meghan's feed.

It was Cubsden(John Arguello) retweeting some dude named Eric Pauley, who I've got no clue, as to who he is.

Ian Stewart looked good in BP, hitting a couple of long HRs, and then laced a double in is first AB. Good sign for the Cubs if he can hit like that all year.

 

 

I'm feelin Ian

The bar is set soooooooo low for Stewart, in our eyes, a 2 WAR season would be utterly fantastic.

That's a fun sentence.

One thing is abundantly clear: the Cubs really don't like Vitters much, do they?

Quad injury

 

 

That said, I don't think they do.

Ah...so there's still hope.

How long with Baez and Soler stay in camp? Until real ST games start?

As in tomorrow?

 

I'm pretty sure they'll be around a lot longer than that.

Sveum said they'll see a solid amount of at bats this spring. My guess is they stick around til the middle of March.

Kyle Alert: Someone got a gritty double. Soler with a 4 pitch walk.

[Guest]

Soler walks

John Arguello ‏@CubsDen

So Brett Jackson as 4 walks without a strikeout. I know it's early and he's facing AAA pitchers -- but he strikes out against those guys too

[Guest]

Fujikawa in to pitch
