Tim TOrres and Darnell McDonald don't trip your trigger?

[ctcf]

Apparently there's some concern over whether or not Olt can actually make it for game time.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Show some [expletive] grit and moxy, Mike.

[ctcf]

Can't even hustle to the ballpark, this guy.

[A New Era]

iowa feed just isn't loading up, ive checked other games and they are.

[KingCubsFan]

Olt with a K in his first at bat.

JAVY BOMBBBBBBBBBB

[ctcf]

Man Javy might still be K'ing way too much, but he sure is racking up the HR. That's 6 in AA already and 23 on the year. Dude should probably clear 30 easily.

JAVY BOMBBBBBBBBBB

 

Is that 5 in AA now?

6.

[imb]

Beautiful.

[Elrhino]

Besides MAYBE Buxton, I wouldn't trade Javy for any prospect in the game. The skillset is just too rare. Some people say he has a high bust possibility, but even if other aspects of his game never fully develop it feels like his floor is a good defensive corner infielder who's going to belt ~25 mistake pitches out of the park a year. He's only 20 years old, what's his power grade going to be at 24?

[MWV]

I can live with the Ks from a 20 year old in AA who's homering about once every 10-11 AB.

6.

Out of 13 hits in AA.

In case Mike Olt ever figures it out:

@IowaCubs Mike Olt hits a single for his first hit as an I-Cub but Murphy is thrown out at home trying to break the scoreless tie.0-0, T7

[ctcf]

Baez now has 23 Ks in 66 PAs at AA

[PackLandVA]

Did I read the Box Score correctly? Bryant was 0-5 with 5 Ks for Boise?? #-o

[ctcf]

Third day in a row with no Dunston at Boise. Hmmmmmm

[Vinestal]

John Arguello ‏@CubsDen 2m

Kris Bryant crushed a ground rule double, nearly left the park

[ctcf]

Rejoice all, he is risen.

[rawaction]

Baez double. 2-5, double, Hr, but 2 ks.
