SOLER CALLED UP

[Guest]

So who has their tickets for next Monday at Wrigley?

 

*raises hand*

They wouldn't send Szczur down already, would they?

He'll be up in 5 days anyways

Yeah, I don't care if that's the move. Just find it a bit odd and trying to figure out what they might do, though I know it's been guessed at Ruggiano is going to the DL

[SouthSideRyan]

[expletive] they're totally gonna lose their protected pick aren't they.

Crap, I'm gonna miss seeing Baez, Alcantara and Soler at Wrigley by a week and a half. These are good problems to have.

Awesome!!! I will be at Busch on Saturday. What a great time to take my boy to his first Cubs game.

[Fro]

I've been planning on going to the game Wednesday in Cincy for a couple months... picked the latest Cubs/Reds series hoping our prospects would be playing by then \:D/

[Bull]

I'll be at Busch Friday night. Haven't seen the Cubs live in years. This feels like getting in on the ground floor again. hope its not a scam.

#Cubs to call up Jorge Soler. Not expected to join team until Wed in Cincy

 

OH [expletive] THIS SHE BETTER BE WRONG AGAIN

 

PTR booked the cheapest flight from Tacoma, which happens to have a 12 hour layover in Hong Kong.

He's coming by boxcar.

If we could find some way to confer homegrown status on Luis Valbuena, the All-Homegrown lineup could be here.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

It's gonna be a close race to see if he keeps rookie eligibility or not. 130 ABs is 3.1 per game on the way out, but he probably won't play every single day.

almost 2 months to the day ago, the Cubs lineup was...

 

Lake, CF

Sweeney, LF

Rizzo, 1B

Castro, SS

Valbuena, 3B

Schierholtz, RF

Baker, C

Barney, 2B

Jackson, P

 

Lake is at AAA, Schierholtz and Barney aren't with the team anymore, Jackson is on the DL and Sweeney is on the bench. They are replaced in the lineup with Alcantara, Soler, Baez, Turner and Coughlan

.@thekapman has more details on Jorge Soler, who is expected to join the #Cubs today -- http://bitly.com/1vh6dZG

 

 

TODAY :D

 

nevermind, the link still says "potentially"

[KingCubsFan]

Pretty amazing that we'll have Soler, Baez, Alcantara, Rizzo and Castro in the major league lineup, with the top 2 prospects in baseball waiting in AAA.

[rawaction]

I woke up, looked at the Iowa boxscore, saw Soler leave early and "injury" never popped into my head. I knew it was a callup. I don't know why I knew, with his injury issues, but I knew it.

yeah, but muskat doesn't even have him there today.

 

if he's there, obviously there's actually a chance he'll play.

[Cubswin11]

Muskat is so bad at her job her saying he's not there makes me feel like there's a 99.9% chance he will be there and starting tonight

both sullivan and muskat were reporting it that way (do two shitty reporters corroborating count as better or worse?)

 

said because he had a lot of traveling to do

 

its weird.. didn't we have like borbon show up to the stadium during the game and wind up pinch running last year?
