    It's important to not get too high or too low in a short stretch of games, but the Cubs historically have not done well on west coast road trips, regardless of the level of the competition. It's really nice to see them playing good baseball. This A's team is an embarrassment to major league baseball.

    Wisdom isn't really blocking Morel. I agree with Bertz, somewhat, but Morel is a poor man's Ben Zobrist and can play anywhere. If anyone is blocking Morel it's Madrigal, and that makes less sense to me.

    Brett out there beating the Mervis drum. I agree.

    I'm not much of a hockey fan, but as a sports fan, anything they can do to disincentivize tanking would be a good thing. I think a random lottery system would help in baseball. In a sport with a true salary cap, owners should be fined according to some formula based on their record and payroll by the league but it doesn't go against cap space. The fines should go to playoff teams. There is no reason for a team not to try and put their best product forward. In baseball, if it's impossible for teams like Miami, Cinnciatti, Pittsburgh, and Oakland to compete, the owners should be made to sell.

    I'm loving the MLB.tv package. I've never watched so much minor-league baseball in my life. One thing that has struck me, and maybe it's a bias, but the Cubs minor league pitchers give a lot of walks, a lot. It seems like it's much more than they are taking. Why is that command is so bad? Is this something they don't concentrate on in "the pitch lab" or early development? To me, it seems like a good idea to work on command because it matters most. Alternatively, maybe it's typical, but it seems like strike throwing would be a necessary requirement to make to the draft.

    Good series! Have to get 2 of 3 in Oakland

    Over Mancini and Hosmer. Bring up Morel and Mervis.

    Do not like.

    I’ve said it before but I love Wisdom’s game. Bellinger!

    The umpire behind the plate is not long for the job. He rang a Smokies hitter up on strike 2. Later he said a Smokies hitter a HBP but got overruled by the rest of the crew. Ended up being a passed ball.

    Brown looks good. Coming out for the 5th. 6ks
  13. CubinNY
    Conor Noland looks like he’s a 32 year pitching against high school kids. just physically.
  14. CubinNY
    Even though they have a winning record, I feel like they don’t have their best options on this team.
  15. CubinNY
    Woof, Dansby 6 Ks in a row.
  16. CubinNY
    I don’t. It’s supposed to be steady rain until 10. I’m in the bar area with my family if you want to say hello. Look for the Cubs gear.

    Nonprofessional notes from the 4.14 Smokies/Biscuits game. PCA is the real deal. Super quick bat. Aggressive base runner. Turned a single into a double and a double into a triple. His arm isn’t as strong as I thought it would be. He seems to be susceptible to high fastballs. Wicks had control problems but he stuck out six in his first two innings. They hit his breaking pitches well. Caissie is not very athletic. He had trouble with off speed pitches, fooled badly a couple of times. Ngwogu bulked up since last year. Very quick bad. Aliendo is not a good defender behind the plate.
  18. CubinNY
    I will be at the game to see Ben Brown and whatever hijinks PCA is up to. I’ll be with the entire family tonight
  19. CubinNY
    Steele dealing. I hate Suttcliffe
  20. CubinNY
    Incredible
  21. CubinNY
    Wait until you guys see PCA’s Javy like slide on his triple. Third hit of the night.
  22. CubinNY
    For Raisin or anyone else really, why is Greg Jones repeating AA? I thought he was a higher prospect for Tampa.
  23. CubinNY
    Ball with a long HR to put the Smokies in front.
  24. CubinNY
    PCA with a hustle RBI double
  25. CubinNY
    Aliendo with another passed ball.
