OVERALL: 2-3

[Gilby]

Bryant 1-2 with a BB

 

Soler isn't in the lineup, no surprise

[muntjack]

Andreoli with a CS. Was starting to think it would never happen again.

[Guest]

Tayler Scott gets the start for Daytona.

[Gilby]

Almora with a 1st inning single. Avg up to .271

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

[expletive] walking.

[Guest]

That brings Almora to .310/.362/.476/.838 in May.

[Gilby]

Javy!!

[PackLandVA]

Every hit I keep hoping is the one that starts him on a hot streak.

[TruffleShuffle]

also cool: alcantara has walked in three straight games.

[ScrubMD]

He lives!!!

 

And Alcantara walked.

Vogelbach with a 2B. Personally, I'm more worried about his power than I am about anything going on in our system that's not injury related.

He's so far in the back of my mind that I can't consider anything he does all that worth worrying (or getting excited) about. Like I just don't care, fairly or not. He's a big stocky guy who only can play one position and hasn't shown that much power in the minors.

 

He'd have to hit so well to even have significant trade value, too.

I honestly buy into last year working on going the opposite way. He did put up an .814 OPS with 38 XBH last year. But I'm thinking the weight loss has zapped him of the power he had.

@CubsDen Almora with a unreal diving catch in fort myers! #wow!

[Guest]

@IowaCubsGameDay Arismendy Alcantara doubles and drives in Logan Watkins to give the I-Cubs a 3-2 lead! B3.

[Guest]

@daytonacubs Daytona adds 2 more in the 9th on an @albertalmora 1B, Chen RBI 3B, & @Flowbro3 RBI 2B. 11-5 B9 on 18 hits.

[Guest]

Skulina pulled in the 8th with a no hitter going.

[gscool89]

No hitter!

[TruffleShuffle]

9-pitch walk from alcantara (battled back from 0-2) followed by 4-pitch walk from baez.

[davell]

Skulina pulled in the 8th with a no hitter going.

 

Was 88-90, topped 91, with spotty command according to 2 of the BP prospect team.

Ugh.

 

@MRubio52: Skulina: 88-90 hit 91 a few times. Some run on the FB, command was spotty, overthrew a few. CB flashed a few times. Tips that pitch though.

 

@JGoro8: @MRubio52 NP.

 

@MRubio52: @JGoro8 @davidrelliott bad arm slots too. Needs to pick one. Tips the curve

 

@JGoro8: @davidrelliott @MRubio52 super long arm swing. No arm speed.

He's a second-round pick who projects to top out in the high minors. That's what second-round picks do.
