Good lower level pitching day.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

There's still something oddly sexy about Ronald Torreyes' skillset. He's now 21 in AAA, striking out just 6.3% with a 296/351/377 line.

 

If I were building an MLB roster, it'd be neat to have him on the infield bench hitting like 270/310/320 and being able to pinch-hit him in situations where contact is more valuable than normal.

Almora not in lineup again.

Huh.

Yao-Lin Wang off the Daytona DL, Jasvir Rakkar goes from Daytona to Boise.

@bigjohnsonblog: Glorious day to play two for the @kccougars, Pierce Johnson here for a rehab start, hitting 92 early. #cubs

 

@CubsDen: Johnson throwing a low effort 92 on stadium fun. Probably 93-94 on scouts radar.

 

I've heard multiple times now that the KC stadium gun is a couple mph slower so I have to imagine Arguello is right.

 

Yay, better control for Pierce:

 

@bigjohnsonblog: 22 pitches, only 12 strikes, for Pierce Johnson in the top of the first, Cedar Rapids holds a 1-0 lead. #cubs @KCCougars

[Guest]

It was a hard hit ball but it was right at the SS and Schwarber GIDPs in the first.

[Guest]

Iowa starting their game in a rain delay.

 

@bigjohnsonblog: Pierce Johnson looked much sharper in the 2nd inning, 1-0 Cedar Rapids going to the bottom of the 2nd. #cubs @KCCougars

[Guest]

@CubsDen: Johnson has movement on everything. 93-94 w/some run. Cuts FB and hits high 80s w/some tail. Command off, slder so-so but good overall.

 

Zastryzny: 5 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 4 K on 71 pitches.

Beautiful day here in KC. Johnson looks good to me. Umpire squeezing both sides

[Guest]

@TommyBirch: Arismendy Alcantara makes a nice running catch in deep to center to record the first out of the game. #Cubs #PCL #MiLB

 

Baez flew out to RF on his first pitch. Bryant grounded into a 5-4 FC on a 1-2 pitch in his first PA.

 

Kyle Schwarber blooped a single to right in his second PA. Pierce Johnson's final line: 4 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 6-2 GO-FO. Duane Underwood is piggybacking and now in the game.

[Guest]

@CubsDen: Duane Underwood has some suck arm speed on FB, 93-95 today but slows down noticeably on curve.

 

Oh, auto-correct.

I read that multiple times wondering if suck arm speed was a term I just wasn't familiar with.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

*sees Iowa has a runner on base and Javy is up*

 

*gets distracted for a couple of minutes, comes back to see 2-0*

 

Dammit, Valaika.

Villanueva with a HR.

[rawaction]

Baez has seen 4 pitches. K rate improving.
