Has anyone heard anything on Jae Hoon Ha since he was carted off the other night? He's not on the DL according to The Smokies site.

He was back on the field yesterday during BP. He looked a lot healthier but obviously didn't play.

Facebook feed for Daytona says good chance they can't play tonight either. It isn't raining, but I guess the area behind second base is all tore up.

[davell]

They're playing. For all that is holy though- Get the hell out of the FSL as soon as humanly possible.

Brett Jackson to the Iowa DL with turf toe.

 

Iowa rained out.

Soler HR. Sounds like it was a bomb.

Josh Conway had what sounds like a nasty injury. It's a shame the Brewers pitcher didn't get hurt since it was their shitty grounds keeping that played a role in the injury.

 

The pitcher's mound on Field #7 was in deplorable condition. It had apparently baked in the heat (the infield was hard as cement) and then been over-watered just prior to start of the game, so starting pitchers Josh Conway (Cubs) and Daniel Keller (Brewers) were constantly slipping & sliding on clogs of dirt when they hit their respective landing spots after throwing a pitch, and the two pitchers had to continually go to the back of the mound and scrape mud out of their cleats. The mound was also tacky at the rubber, so that at one point the cleats on Keller's right shoe got stuck in the mud and he had to abort a pitch by throwing it directly into the ground.

 

Meanwhile, Conway looked uncomfortable from his very first pitch, continually pawing at his landing spot and scraping mud out of his spikes after every single pitch. A member of the grounds crew was eventually located after the end of the 1st inning (today is Saturday, so there was just a "skeleton crew" on duty), and while he raked up the mud clogs, nothing was done to dry up the mud itself or stamp-down the mound. On his second pitch in the bottom of the 2nd inning, Conway's spikes got caught in the mud and he tripped and threw a pitch awkwardly, about six feet over the head of the Brew Crew batter. A loud pop could be heard when he let go of the pitch, and his arm recoiled as if he had been shot. He was obviously in tremendous pain, and he ran up the 1st base line into foul territory before coming to a stop and going to one knee.  

 

Only after Conway left the game did two other members of the Maryvale grounds crew arrive and completely manicure the mound to make it safe for the pitchers. 

 

Conway was immediately driven back to Fitch Park in the Cubs utility van, and presumably he will be examined next week.

He did get on base with HBP.

 

btw - Torreyes doubled his strikout rate today.

It's his third, he had one late last night too. We jinxed him pretty hard.

Lot of good stuff in A and A+. Soler with 2 BB and the afore mentioned bomb. Candelerio and Vogelbach with 2 BB each, Shoulders 1-3 with a BB and Felix Pena went 7 giving up 1 run, 4 hits, and 1/7 BB/K

@KCCougars: Dan Vogelbach makes a diving stop for the final out of the game to give the Cougars a 6-1 win, their 5th in a row.

 

I related news, the grounds crew is currently working overtime filling a large crater in the shape of Dan Vogelbach.

Had pretty high hopes for Peralta. But he sucks now.
