Javy 3-3 now. And yes, I think Arrieta can be a very solid set up type. Want to see him starting in the majors this year though and at least thru spring training next year. Honestly, I'm much more likely to conceed Vizcaino as a pen guy than Arrieta.

K'd in his 4th AB.

Was down 0-2 and then worked it all the way to 3-2. Took a fastball on the corner for strike 3. Not the worst strikeout to have.

With his three hits today for @BoiseHawks, Kris Bryant is up to .292 AVG, .935 OPS. #Cubs

He should be headed to KC or Daytona soon I'd imagine.

Since his nightmare Boise debut, .326/.388/.651

 

It's about time for full-season ball.

The Cubs 2012 # 1 pick was the leadoff hitter and came out of the dugout to warm up for his at-bat . During one of his warm-up swings, which were taken right in front of me, Almora grimaced in pain as he swung and grab his lower back. He took a few seconds to gather himself and tried to swing again but you could see he was in pain. He went up to bat and took a weak cut at a pitch, fouling it off, and then flew out to center. He tried to run down the first base line but started limping and pulled up after he crossed first base. The trainer came out and he left the game.

Daniel Lockhart was called up from Boise to Iowa to replace Watkins. Obviously a short term move.

 

 

I really like Lockgart, but Boise to Iowa?

 

It's just a short term move to fill the vacant Iowa spot. They'll get an adequate replacement and send Lockhart back to Boise.

fyi, Lockhart's just a month younger than Xander Bogaerts (also in AAA), which just shows how freakish that guy is
