Hope this is the right place for this question. Does anyone know what the injury situation is with Tim Saunders? I saw he is on the 7 day DL buy no details and hes been out longer than that.

[Guest]

I'm not sure what happened to Saunders, but Wrigley Rat's roster post mentions that his DL stint was retroactive to 4/11, so he'd only eligible to come off the DL today or tomorrow(not sure how the counting starts in that case).

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Iowa postponed.

^^^What he said^^^

 

Iowa Cubs ‏@IowaCubs 3m

No game tonight vs @nashvillesounds Postponed by rain. Makeup date TBD.

Thanks Tiger.

Haha maybe Stewart should be at Tenn...

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

But then he's taking away time from Villanueva.

[davell]

Javy and Soler both singled first time up.

I was joking.

Yet another walk for Soler

Promotion to Tennessee by mid-June?

If not earlier. Alcantara walked his first PA tonight too.

I really hope so. The sooner he gets there, the better the odds of a 2014 debut are (obvious statement is obvious, I know).

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

The Brun-O-Meter is at .431 after two more hits.

[ctcf]

Javy with a sac fly that was apparently THIS close to a grand slam.

Needs a heavier bat.

[ctcf]

Jorge Soler survives on an absolutely bizarre catcher's interference, actually gets a hit?

[davell]

Candelario double, Rock walk, and Contreras 3 run shot. I think we're developing a legit C prospect.

[Guest]

I can't wait til Almora gets there so I can go watch that stacked team.

Are either of these guys Cubs minor leaguers?

 

EDIT - Nevermind. Rony Rodriguez.

[Guest]

Given the amount of water around here, I can't believe KC is getting their game in.

Plus he'll be out of Daytona by hurricane season then as well.

[toonsterwu]

Good to see solid offensive games out of Amaya and Hernandez (particularly 2 doubles for Amaya).

 

The pitching on all three levels tonight blows.
