OK, what the hell does "package" mean? A 30 minute expose? A 2 minute segment? His junk?

[Guest]

In TV terms, a package typically means a produced segment, probably 3-5 minutes long.

I would imagine Javier Baez's package can only be viewed in widescreen format.

I guess that explains why mojo doesn't have the minors boner we do.

[Warpticon]

I think you can be arrested for minor boners

Javy grounded out.

[Guest]

Lim activated from Iowa's DL, very nice to see.

[Gilby]

Does Edwards start next season at Tennessee? He won't have many innings in A+, but has been pretty dominant in his short starts. He turns 22 in a couple weeks.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Rubi Silva has 4 walk in his last 10 games vs. 16 on the entire season. If he can do some more of that, he could become interesting quickly.

[Gilby]

Bryant continues to mash. 2/4 with a double and no K's so far. Vogelbach has 3 BB's through 6 innings.

He's already 24. I don't know how good his defense is, but it'll have to be pretty good and in CF for him to get a shot. Best case he's Ha with more power. Or a LH hitting Junior Lake with far less upside.

[rawaction]

Olt HR!

[CubsWin]

Olt HRs...

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Did someone say Olt HR?

[Illini Iceman]

Promote him now while he is hot.

[Gilby]

Rizzo better watch out.

[CubsWin]

Is this the Duane Underwood we've all been waiting for? Thru 4 he is...

 

4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K.

[TruffleShuffle]

olt 4-4 with a double and home run.

 

daury torres is pitching well for the azl cubs. he has 47 strikeouts against 5 walks in 47 innings for the year. in 162 professional innings he has walked 14 batters.

[CubsWin]

Same ol', same ol' from Daury Torrez. Thru 4 innings, 1 hit, no runs, no walks, 4 Ks.

 

Besides that, a lot of comeback performances. Olt goes 4/4 with a double, HR and no Ks. Dolis makes a rehab start in Mesa throwing a hitless, scoreless inning with a BB and a K. Ryan Sweeney also with his first rehab start. Lim is back in AAA with a hitless/scoreless inning, 1 BB and 2 Ks. And Cabrera turns it around, getting his first scoreless appearance after 5 consecutive bad ones. He gives up a hit and a walk, but strikes out 2 while not allowing a run.

[Warpticon]

Vogelbach went 0-2 with 3 walks. Now hitting .281/.410/.500 at Daytona in 10 games.
