Yay Wada

 

Alcantara will be active for Iowa, Jokisch got put on the Iowa DL to make room. The release didn't specify Jokisch's injury.

[Little Slide Rooter]

This being Wada's 2nd AAA start, is it fairly safe to say that he'll be up in the next week, or will they give him another?

[Cubswin11]

Who's spot does he take? Rosscup? Or do they cut Schlitter loose and roll with 3 lefties in the pen?

Germen or Schlitter, I'd hope. One of those two might be in trouble when La Stella is ready to come off the DL too.

With Russell on the team now, there's really no need for Herrera as a backup shortstop. He can go to make room for LaStella.

There's definitely less use for him individually, but an 8 man pen isn't going to be the permanent standard either, so a player/pitcher swap is coming eventually.

Wada with fairly mixed results today, but I think it'd be pretty fair to chalk that up to rust.

Who is this Jeremy Null and can I show some degree of interest without ridicule? 21 year old A baller who in his 27 professional innings has logged 2/26 BB/K.

Yes, you can.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

[treebird]

hope he makes it just for the puns

 

my null hypothesis is that he won't be very good

my null hypothesis is that he won't be very good

Is there any chance of him being allowed to patrol LF via Segway?

[ctcf]

Almora reaches on a sac bunt + error, Schwarber singles and with the bases loaded, Vogelbach walks home a run on 4 pitches.

[ctcf]

Jeremy Null: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K.

 

That is 0 BB in 17 IP. 1.06 ERA.

[ctcf]

Vogelbach is unstoppable, you guys.

[Guest]

Almora 2/5

Schwarber 3/5, K

Vogelbach 2/4, 2B, HR, BB

[ctcf]

Smokies actually batted around again. Almora and Vogey got out, but Schwarber picked up his 4th single of the night. BA up to .345

[Guest]

ok let schwarber learn catching in AAA plz

[Gilby]

What happens if Schwarber destroys the minor leagues and the Cubs stay in contention? Do we forget about the catching stuff the last couple months of the season and move him to LF?

 

He is just such an impressive hitter.
