[Hairyducked Idiot]

Anyone know who the pitching coaches are for Iowa and Tenn?

Bruce Walton and Storm Davis

 

What are their non-porn names?

Iowa off?? Damn Javy won't play today..oh yeah he's a CHICAGO Cub!

unfortunately he was the third best hitter on the team.

It would be nice if Schwarber could get an extra-base hit or two the rest of the year.

He has been taking a lot of walks, so there's that

For sure; it's nice not having to worry about a prospect's approach or contact issues.

Apparently Dunston was pulled from the Cougars game? Possibly related to Turner

Daytona Cubs @daytonacubs

.@billy_mckinney a hero for 2nd-straight night. After delivering game-winning hit last night, he singles w 1 out in 8th to break up no-no.

 

Love that kid

Is the FSL that much of a pitchers league? I feel like every worthwhile offensive prospect we've sent there this year has stumbled.

Very much so, but Javier Baez also had 40 extra-base hits in 76 games there last year, so it's not like it's impossible to hit for a little power there.

Just seems weird that Vogelbach, Almora and Schwarber have all had fairly blah years there.

[ctcf]

Thank god, they're finally warming up in TN

[evv98]

Where are the homeruns?

@CubsDen Dad just saw Dunston leaving stadium with 2 Cub officials. Looks like he traded

Schwarber is likely wearing down. 61 games played was his high, he's at 107 counting tonight.

Yea, pretty probable.

Digging McKinney's 19:13 K:BB ratio.

i'm kind of confused about why almora is in tennessee.

[Gmoney08]

Amazing how one promotion makes me care about these threads so much less.

 

Still tons to love and read about down on the farm.

 

But, now with Javy in Chicago coupled with the other young studs playing well (Rizzo, Castro, Alcantara, and Arrieta) I'm finally checking the major league game thread first instead of the minor league discussion thread of the day.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Russell with an RBI-double.

Dunston had a stomachache and hasn't been traded.
