Two straight days of double-headers for Iowa and Daytona. I know they cut off four innings but that's got to suck for most of the guys.

Just guys not named Javy Baez.

Going to the Boise game tonight. Anything I should be looking for?

Mark Zagunis, Justin Marra, Charcer Burks. The SP for the game, Erick Leal, was intriguing coming into the season but has been pretty disappointing so far.

 

Other pitchers to watch that might come in after Leal are David Garner, and 2014 draftees James Norwood and Tommy Thorpe, but I'm not sure how recently they've pitched.

Soler in game 1 lineup. Wonder if Baez and Bryant are playing both again. That'd be 28 innings for them in less than 24 hours when all is said and done.

I waited too long to buy tickets. The game is sold out :(

2012 6th rounder Trey Lang has been great out of the pen too.

Javy infield single and a good long AB. Bryant K.

 

Apparently Iowa's manager was ejected at the pregame meeting at home plate, lol.

Awesome. I remember watching an NBA game and saw Don Nelson get ejected in the 1st quarter. Del Harris, his top assistant at the time, immediately walked very calmly over to the ref and said "[expletive] you". Got tossed immediately, smiled, and supposedly went to dinner with Nelson during the game.

Come on Bryant. Be amazing again.

@JGoro8: Skulina 89-91 in the first. FB flat. Big time arm wrap. Loose CB.

 

@JGoro8: Again, Dunston with two good swings. Much more balanced and comfortable in the box. Getting into favorable counts.

 

@JGoro8: Skulina with a better feel for the breaker in the last few innings than the previous 2 times I've seen him. More swings and misses.

@TommyBirch: Continue to be impressed by the patience of Jorge Soler. Takes a lot of pitches. Willing to wait for his. Don't see that often with yougins.

 

@TommyBirch: Another nifty play by Baez who fields a grounder, spins and throws for the out. Looks very comfortable over there. #Cubs #PCL #MiLB

Uhh, he has a poor feel for the game and doesn't have a mature approach. Just ask Parks.

He's also immature and jogs to first base and walks to the outfield. Though he might get that from Javy.

SOLER BOMB! Bryant walked before it.

He sure rounded the bases pretty lollygaggingly on that home run. Lollygagger.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Javy just passed 400 PAs.

 

(I just noticed that I have a long-standing aversion to referring to players or management by their first name, but Javy is an exception because he's just that awesome).

I hope you guys that troll Parks on twitter are going full steam right now.

I have no idea where, at any level, Parks got the idea that Soler had a bad approach. Only so much time in an offseason, I guess.

Eff it. Just bring him up.

[davell]

It was crushed. Into the wind.

@TommyBirch: Arodys Vizcaino works a scoreless 7th inning in relief for the I-#Cubs. Fastball consistently in the low 90s. Even touched 96. #MiLB #PCL

yeah, i think he's about as ready as he's going to get.

[rawaction]

Damn 7-inning game. Over with Javy on deck.
