Next April, how is Theo going to say that Bryant needs more time at AAA without giggling?

 

Wait until mid-March and then declare he's moving to RF and needs some time to acclimate.

 

I still picture him making troll face when he makes the announcement.

Why did Hendricks only pitch two innings??

[ScrubMD]

Hendricks lifted after 2 innings. Injury or looming call up?

Why did Hendricks only pitch two innings??

 

I was just going to ask the same thing. Hope he's not hurt.

Guesses:

 

1) Hurt

2) Being saved for a call-up

Seems about the number of pitches he'd throw in a side session between starts. Good chance they're keeping him loose for Tuesday.

Kyle Hendricks just left Iowa’s game after pitching only two innings. This does not appear to be injury related. #Cubs @IowaCubs

Fourth-hand info:

 

Someone on BCB posted that Brett tweeted that there were unconfirmed reports of hugs in the Iowa dugout.

That's odd. If it was for a call up, I'd assume he'd stay at Iowa until just before his start and they'd use a reliever as a placeholder.

Kris Bryant is going to hit 50 homers this year in the minors, isn't he?

Very possibly

Very possibly

That is so unbelievable. Guy is just killing it.

We do have an open 40 man spot too. I hope Hendricks starts the rest of the year. Let Wada and Beeler fight it out for the other spot.

What's the record for most in a minor league season?

[Guest]

The whole "Soler gets a September call-up to make up some at-bats" theory gains a lot of traction if he has a good showing in the coming months.

 

you jackass

 

you said it was next to impossible he'd see a call up before he missed 2 months with injury

 

but you cover yourself with the "make up some at bats" phrasing :lol:

[illiniguy]

What's the record for most in a minor league season?

71 or 72.

Bringing back a classic:

You are severely overestimating the correlation between my opinion at any given time and my opinion at a later date.
