Jesus. Makes me think of that horrific Cameron/Beltran collision when they were with the Mets.

 

Colvin/Campana was one of the worst in recent memory for the Cubs (in the minors). Both were stretchered off the field and taken to the hospital.

 

Say what you will about Colvin, but he had some of the worst luck when it came to freak injuries.

[Brian]

That article was updated to say it's 'just' a concussion and he's fine, alert, and returned to the clubhouse.

[Quakers]

I am at the Boise game.

[Quakers]

Boise I'd being no hit after 5....of course the Hops only have one hit.

He was the one who was impaled by a broken bat, right?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Does anyone still have hope for Olt? I want him to be rizzo 2.0 so bad.

 

I want him to stop striking out > once per game. We both have unrealistic expectations.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Every time someone compares Olt's early struggles to Rizzo, something terrible but non-offensive happens.

I remember Colvin getting vampire-hunted in the chest, but I had no clue he and Campana collided.

poor taste, kyle.

[ctcf]

Am I drunk or is Jeferson Mejia DHing for the AZ Cubs?

wtf?

[ctcf]

It's ok, Kyle doesn't actually know how to be funny. At least for once he can claim to be the Nate Silver of this board.

[ctcf]

Some lines from the lower minor pitching:

 

Josh Conway: 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K

Ryan Williams: 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K

Carson Sands: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K

Jake Stinnett: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K

 

Total: 11 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 13 K

 

and...

 

Jeferson Mejia at DH: 0/2 with a K

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

No way is that accurate.

No way is that accurate.

 

What, the Mejia bit?

[Guest]

So what's the story on Almora again?

 

He's incredibly overrated

 

Outside of good defense I'm not exactly sure what Almora has done thus far to justify the kind of hype he gets.

 

To be honest, I think Billy McKinney has more upside at this point. Hits for some power, high BA and gets on base all while playing above average D.

 

What am I missing?

 

I meant his injury...

 

He came into the game as a PH and hit a game winning double.

Anybody concerned about A. Vizcaino's line at Iowa? Maybe it's just the SSS of all RP's?

He's been a lot better lately.

Sosa/Bellhorn was also horrible to watch.

Last 9 IP after he had 10 days off he has given up no earned runs, but 7 H, 6 BB and 8 K is not that terrific.

Damn. Just noticed the lack of ER, didn't notice the BB and H didn't go down.

Concern would require previous expectations, of which I had little.
