Still no televised game for Ten until they get out of Huntsville. I want to watch some Russell at bats if he's looking like he's getting out of his slump!

28 to 4 K/BB. Really the most important thing at this point. Most of them should be not giving up runs at this point against lesser talented hitters.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Russell singles....but gets caught stealing.

RBI Schwingle

[Guest]

.368/.464/.610

 

.358/.464/.659

 

One of these is Schwarber's line at Indiana, the other is his current line in full-season ball(aka excluding his near 2.000 OPS at Boise). Crazy.

[XZero771679666304]

Baez with a double, driving in two.

[rawaction]

Iowa hit 3 HRs in the 2nd. None by anyone who matters. Javy now with the longest Baez hitting steak in the system at 13 with a 2-run double.

[CubsWin]

Russell singles....but gets caught stealing.

They must have confidence in his hamstring. This Cubs FO is notoriously patient and cautious with their top prospects. Soler hasn't attempted to steal yet. When he pinch hit on his scheduled off day (2 on, 1 off is the pattern so far), he got on and was immediately taken out for a pinch runner. So, even though Russell was caught stealing, it's a good sign he even tried...

[Vinestal]

Baez hit in the forearm by a pitch but seems ok

Bryant walked after

[rawaction]

Nothing to see in the 2nd game for Tennessee. No Russell, no Soler, no starter of note

[Vinestal]

No Soler or Russell for game 2 in Tenn, just a parade of boring

 

yeah what he said...

[Little Slide Rooter]

RBI Schwingle

 

Can we all agree that this won't become a thing?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

No.

Schwut up. Schtop it Schucker.

Who is weirder...The Giles Bros (aka a new era) or llf?

[ConstableRabbit]

LLF, mostly because he's impervious to feedback. But he's our weirdo.

[Guest]

Yeah that's dumb. I prefer the Jewish Jordan.

Don't forget 18th rounder Austyn Willis. He pitched 2 scoreless today and now has 4.1 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 6/3 K/BB

[Little Slide Rooter]

LLF, mostly because he's impervious to feedback.

 

I just chalk it up to everyone else being wrong.

[ConstableRabbit]

Never change.

[Little Slide Rooter]

If I were going to, don't you think I would have by now? Where others have either run off or created ghost accounts for less, I've stood tall. Or at least average height. Only B2B has withstood more ridicule than I and stood his ground.

[A New Era]

Oh great, now I've given myschelf a typing lischp. I didn't think it was poschible, but it isch. SSSCHH!
