Bryant with the day off. Daytona with a 2-0 early lead. Winners of 8 in a row, but haven't trailed in a game in 12 days.

[A New Era]

can't seem to find smokies game on milbtv even though their schedule has a little tv camera milb.tv link.

Well, interesting pitching day if nothing else.

[Guest]

I knew something was up with Kane County's TBA - Daury Torrez up to Kane County!

[pitchcs]

2 IP, 2 K for Ramirez so far.

[ctcf]

Corey Black so far: 5 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 5 K

Alcantara 3B followed by a Javy sac fly.

then a villanueva home run.

 

lots of good pitching so far. corey black was very good and had no walks in 6 innings. daury torres is holding his own in his first kc start. neil ramirez has been rolling. hell, even casey coleman is pitching well, though nobody cares about that.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Daury Torrez skipping Boise, fabulous. I hope Leal gets a chance as well.

[TruffleShuffle]

Daytona Cubs ‏@daytonacubs 1m

 

Fantastic outing for @CblackCHC tonight! 6IP 3H R ER 0BB 6K and hit 96 MPH on the gun multiple times. 3-1 Cubs B7 Jeff Lorick in.

KC's season ends after this weekend. Leal (and Torrez) might end up at Boise if they make the playoffs.

I was just about to edit my post. Brain cramp.

Don't know about anyone else, but it amazes me how much better I feel about the pitching in the system than at season start.

agreed. good draft for pitching, good trades, and not many pitchers have taken steps backward or gotten hurt this year.

[Warpticon]

Yeah, we may not have any superstuds, but we have a ton of live arms that stand a decent chance of contributing to a major league staff.

[A New Era]

2 IP, 2 K for Ramirez so far.

 

Wish I could actually watch what I paid for. (smokies just don't show up on the milb.tv list and the radio link gives an error)

[TruffleShuffle]

kevin encarnacion is hitting .370 at boise, how has WSR not mentioned this

[ctcf]

Trevor Clifton went 2 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K for the AZL Cubs.

I re-jiggered my top 30 today, and I have 16 pitchers to 14 position players.

 

Of course, 9 of the top 11 are hitters, but still.

[Guancous]

This Theo character seems to know what he's doing...

[Guest]

was Ramirez on a pitch count?

was Ramirez on a pitch count?

 

probably, considering he's coming off some injury issues

[Clem Fandango]

Since no one has talked about it

 

Scott Baker (elbow) threw five scoreless innings in his rehab debut Wednesday with Low-A Kane County.

Baker retired the first 13 batters he faced and yielded just one hit in all. The right-hander is still making his way back from Tommy John surgery and still hoping to join the Cubs' rotation at some point this season.
