I'm really enjoying Shawon Dunston Jr.'s 14/9 BB/K ratio, you guys.

Yeah, I see him moving to Kane County when Almora gets promoted to Daytona around the 1st week in August.

[CubsWin]

Paniagua last pitched July 2nd. I wonder when he'll take the mound next and for whom. I'd love to see him get an inning or two in for the AZL Cubs while they're evaluating him. Today would be nice...

Pierce with his second QS in Daytona.

 

Final Line: 6 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 6/5 GO/FO. ERA is at 2.86

Geez, were the batters even awake with a 9:30/10:30 AM start?

 

This is normal there I'm assuming? I never really paid attention to start times.

They have a game this early about once every two weeks (not including doubleheaders).

Over his last 4 outings, 21-year-old Austin Reed has 10K/1BB/4hits/10 innings, no runs. 4 outings isn't much for a guy who's been chronically wild and hittable with no K-pitch. But you never know.

[CubsInNC]

Going to see KC Sat-Sun-Mon when they're in town. Any guesses who the likely SPs are?

Scott Baker will begin rehab assignment on Sunday with Kane County.

 

Looks like you lucked out for Sunday, CubsInNC

 

The game will also be on MiLB.tv

almora 2-2 with a double.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

almora 2-2 with a double.

 

The kid is absurd. If they had a team in the Carolina League I would want him bumped up immediately.

Baez is 0-19 since homering in his first AA at bat.

[Cubswin11]

Javy singled 1 for his last 1

[Warpticon]

Alcantara's 2 for 3 with a BB and a K. Cabrera with 7 and gave up 3 hits and a walk, striking out 3. He really seems to be in a groove.

thank u.

[Warpticon]

3-4 for Alcantara now.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

3-4 for Alcantara now.

 

His numbers look doubly crazy when you see how bad the Southern League is at offense.

[Cubswin11]

3-4 for Alcantara now.

Could we be seeing a August call up to Iowa for him?

[ctcf]

3-4 for Alcantara now.

 

With a walk and SB (22nd)

[TruffleShuffle]

ian stewart got revenge on the i-cubs with a home run.

[Warpticon]

that wRC+ of 137 coming into tonight sure looks nice.

 

Oh, fun fact, that homer yesterday was his first lefty homer of the season. 12 righty,
