Abuck's comment succinctly summed up the danger of the Cubs plan.

And just about every other team's plan that isn't spending over $150,000,000 in payroll. And then of course there's danger in going that route too, so...yeah, there's danger. No plan is guaranteed to work. Agreed.

I'm just glad I stimulated some good conversation.

What happened to Torrez? I was promised Torrez.

Got an email for half off for MILBTV for the year, which comes to $25. Too good of a deal to pass up for me. You guys might wanna check your email. If not, maybe I can forward the email to you guys if you're interested.

Dude finally woke up.

It was only time before Vogelbach had a big game. It's not like he's overmatched or anything based on the low K numbers and good walk rate.

Of course I bought it 2 days ago. Oh well.

Bryant BB on 4 pitches. All were decently close to the plate.

Vizcaino loads the bases with 0 outs, then Ks 2 and gets a line-out.

So...what's wrong with Baez?

[thefranchise]

Was watching Tennessee so I didn't get to see. But he was facing a good MLB pitcher in Chacin who was rehabbing.

Advanced breaking balls are hard.

[expletive] outstanding work

Wada taken out after 5 after throwing 55 pitches. 5 IP 4 H 0 ER 1 BB 6 K.

 

The Sky Sox announcers mentioned something about him being hurt the inning before, but I didn't see it. He came out and pitched the 5th then left for a PH. His numbers are video game like right now.

[Gilby]

You're killing me, Javy. Man the second half of the season would suck if he needs to be in Triple-A all season. And they surely aren't starting the clock for Boras' Bryant on this shitty team.

Alcantara and Baez 0-10 3 Ks

Alcantara and Baez 0-10 3 Ks

Patrick Mooney[/url]"]Edwards traveled to Chicago on Thursday and was examined by Dr. Stephen Gryzlo, with an MRI scheduled for Friday morning. The Cubs will have a better read on the shoulder issue at that point.

 

As a precaution, Edwards had to shut down his last side session with Double-A Tennessee, where he’s gone 1-0 with a 2.61 ERA in four starts, showing the stuff that made him the centerpiece in last summer’s Matt Garza trade with the Texas Rangers.

Daytona outfielder Albert Almora recently underwent a procedure stop nosebleeds. Injuries limited the 2012 first-round pick to only 61 games last season.

Late scratch per the Kane County website writeup.

 

John Arguello[/url]"]UPDATE: Torrez is fine and will pitch tomorrow (per Cougars announcer Wayne Randazzo)

LHP Jose Paulino threw three scoreless. Gleyber went 2/4 with a triple and a HBP, Jeffrey Baez went 2/5 with 2 SB, Eloy Jimenez went 2/4 with a double.

Alcantara and Baez 0-10 3 Ks

 

How does that happen when their team puts up 9 runs?
