AZL Cubs had the day off

[CubsWin]

DJ goes 4-for-4 with 2 doubles and a walk.

 

No word on what happened yet, but Tyson Miller was taken out after facing one batter and giving up a single. Bailey Clark replaced him and proceeded to poop the bed in his MWL debut giving up 8 hits (1 HR, , 7 runs (5 earned) while walking 4 in 4 innings.

 

In case anyone had doubts about just how meaningless the won/loss stat is (and I doubt anyone does), despite facing just one batter Miller got charged with the loss because Bailey allowed the inherited runner on 1st base to score (along with 6 others) and the Cubs never regained the lead.

Jake Stinnett has pitched well in limited action out of the pen for the Smokies since returning from the DL. He had pitched in the mid to upper 90s in college coming out of the pen. As a rather mediocre starter in the Cubs system his velo dropped to the low 90s. The Smokies game was broadcast today but is still being archived. I'll watch it once it's available to see if any velo readings are given for Jake. Interested to see what it is now that he's back to being a reliever (a role I've wanted him to revert to for a while now).

[CubsWin]

Nope. Unless the on screen readings on the Birmingham broadcast are way off...

 

Stinnett 89-90 on the FB. Curve at 79-80 and a change about the same velo.
