Alzolay is scheduled to start for Iowa today, and Alexander Vargas is starting for Myrtle Beach. Speaking of, the Vargas acquisition completely flew under my Cubdar. When did he come on board?

He was a Rule V pick this past offseason, if memory serves me right.

Well, he's got a, uh... really, really good game going thru 5...

 

Update: Vargas removed after 5. Had thrown 51 pitches, 32 strikes. Not totally surprising to see since he's not fully stretched out yet. Ryan Lawlor comes in and on the first pitch gives up a double to ruin the perfect game Vargas had going.

Alzolay is scheduled to start for Iowa today.

 

Looking forward to this start. We're going to need him later this season (probably as a reliever). Hope Alzolay dominates tonight.

Athletic but raw OF Carlos Morfa hit his 1st stateside HR in ExST today. Then on his next at bat injured his ankle sliding into 2nd while trying to stretch a single into a double. Had to be helped off the field.

Got to think he's ready for Myrtle Beach:

 

1. Erich Uelmen: 4.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R (1 ER), 1 BB, 3 K, 1 GIDP, 4/4 GO/AO, 70 pitches (44 strikes)

Is this Tyson Miller the real deal? Could we have a proper pitching prospect on our hands?
