  1. Hmmm, sounds like a communication problem between Marmol and Reyes. The last time I saw Marmol pitch it appeared that the same thing was going on.
  2. Nice job with the anthem Just checked the weather forecast, let's hope the rain stays away tomorrow night
  3. :shock: Whoa! Are you sure you don't want to hear an inning before making that decision? :lol: I'd be happy to!
  4. Obviously you have a problem with guys succeeding if you include the Jaxx staff as part of that group. Honestly, it wouldn't bother me too much if our minor league teams weren't successful if it meant the Cubs were able to get two succesful position players a year from our farm system. As I've said before, maybe two-five years from now we'll be popping up prospects left and right who are major league ready. Who knows? But for a team that has been ranked fairly high over the last few years not to produce position players, I have a problem with that. Didn't mean to offend you, just offering my opinion. It's not offensive, I just view it from a different perspective. I know how hard the Jaxx coaching staff works with their players, whether it be in regards to fielding, hitting or pitching. The coaching staff works very hard at fundamentals and preparing the guys for their next location, whether it be at AAA, the Major Leagues or even a demotion or winter ball. And I agree with you, it's not about the win/loss records but the talent that the system gets to the Major Leagues. I just know what I have heard from guys that have gone through the current staff and from other scouts and people through Jackson have said. I'm not a player but the Jaxx have a great staff.
  5. Obviously you have a problem with guys succeeding if you include the Jaxx staff as part of that group. Success has to be measured at the major league level. The goal is not to produce good AA players. And as many have pointed out, the Cubs have failed miserably at bringing up succesful position players to their major league team. I agree with that point entirely. However, is it the fault of a Minor League coaching staff if a guy doesn't pan out?

  7. I don't have a complete log of his starts but if you take away a couple of rough outings he would be getting tons of props right now. I don't have the game by game numbers for Nolasco but I wish I did.
  8. (IMHO) Brandon Sing or Eric Patterson, in no particular order. Sing's numbers are posted, here's Eric's line: 107 games, .332/.406/.528, 87 R, 68 RBI, 24 2B, 39 SB, 13 HR, 93 K, 53 BB I know we can't compare stats for guys in different leagues, but I could live with either guy getting the award.
  9. Look at Talley Haines representing Freed-Hardeman University (my alma mater)! http://www.iowacubs.com/aspx/news.aspx?id=2131
  10. Dear Brandon Sing, It will be ok if you hit your 26th HR tomorrow night when I'm in the booth. DJAXXFAN [/joking]
  11. Since they won't be playing even if they do get called up, let the guys on the Jaxx stay in Jackson and win the Southern League Championship!
  12. :jive: <-----------I love this guy
  13. Sweet, another reason to :jive:
  14. Buck Coats!!!!! 2-1 Jaxx! \:D/
  15. Or as "Dope" would say, "to the moon"
  16. Poor Felix, he won't even make it for his bobblehead night
  17. Hank again in an unfamiliar 0-2 hole
  18. A 10 pitch AB by Furcal :willynilly:
  19. And now Furcal has to go screwing with the pitch count :x
