ACL Cubs had the day off

[Gilby]

Isn't it a little surprising how often Davis has been playing a corner outfield spot? In RF again tonight

FG has him at 19 starts in CF, 11 in RF this year (14-11 at AA) before today.

 

He probably ends up in a corner after a few years in the majors due to his size but yeah, he should be starting at CF now over Zach Davis who isn’t a prospect.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

 

 

 

96 with his spin and cutter is super exciting. Get him to AAA.

 

Some really exciting RP prospects at the upper levels with high leverage/late inning potential, and it’s not just Leeper and Rodríguez.

I'm really glad to see Roberts still having the spin. Guys like him and Steele that turned into spin monsters in the last 18-24 months you had to worry if they were just Spider Tack-ing.

 

And yeah, the pen looks to be a huge strength for the foreseeable future. I'd love to get Leeper up after whatever roster-shuffling happens around the deadline. I already feel good about our young LH relievers currently in the majors, but with Nance having been (presumably) a Spider Tack guy and Wick being (presumably) dead we don't have a current young RH guy that I trust in any sort of high leverage situation.

[Bertz]

Ethan Hearn 2/4 with a double and a walk. Has raised his OPS 130 points the past week (it's still a poor .553 because he was SO bad to start)

 

As bad as the last 10 days have been for the MLB team they've been very positive at MB and TN

Has Nance’s spin rate fallen drastically? I know the results lately have been bad.

Oh yeah.
