@SmokiesonRadio: #Cubs pitcher Kyuji Fujikawa is tentatively scheduled to join the Smokies for tonight’s series opener with the Birmingham Barons.

Did Ian Stewart join the I-Cubs yet?

Did Ian Stewart join the I-Cubs yet?

 

Yes.

Stewart sighting: He’s baaaaaack.

 

Ian Stewart rejoined the Iowa Cubs on Monday after being optioned last week.

 

Stewart had spent 20 days on a rehab assignment with Iowa but was missing in action over the weekend.

 

Stewart, who has hit just .091 with Iowa, had 72 hours to report. He was not in the lineup Monday but was available off the bench.

So he was back yesterday (at the latest) and all the reporters were wrong, saying he was AWOL?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

He was with the team Friday night but the game got snowed out.

 

He was not with the team on Saturday and Sunday (which included a double-header, so he missed three games).

 

He was with the team Monday but did not play.

Sounds like he came back yesterday. Reporters noted he was missing all weekend, not yesterday. Not sure who used AWOL, which is obviously incorrect, as he had leave, technically.

[Guest]

Kyle used the term AWOL.

Ian didn't feel up to playing this weekend, to be exact

Kyle used the term AWOL.

 

It wasn't meant to be taken so literally.

 

He had the rights to leave on a technicality of the CBA, but the management at both the AAA and MLB levels seemed to not agree with his decision.

I believe you also threw something like "kinda, sorta" in that post.

[GammonsPocketTweets]

By rule, he did have the right. But considering he was already there, and other circumstances, it was pretty ridiculous of him to actually leverage that right.

[Guest]

If I saw my major league career slipping away and had a chance to go on a three day bender, I might just take that opportunity.

We need him and Soler to get very hot.

Kyler Burke appears to be ready to go to full season ball and Dillon Maples appears to be getting stretched out, possibly for a promotion to Kane County. Jeffrey Baez hit a HR.

[rawaction]

Starling Peralta in relief has been a disaster. 3.2 IP and 14 runs allowed.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Tennessee is losing 16-0 in the 5th.

Our MiLB teams are being outscored 31-5 tonight.

34-3, actually.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Safe to say that this was the worst day on the farm so far? Basically Torreyes with 2 BB, 1 Javybomb, and a bunch of bad.
