    Yeah, May has been very good to a bunch of the youngsters that struggled in April: Triantos (57 PAs) - .300/.386/.460, 10.5% BB, 10.5% K, 140 wRC+ Preciado (42 PAs) - .342/.381/.474, 4.8%BB, 26.2%K, 138 wRC+ Caissie (42 PAs) - .324/.405/.459, 7.1% BB, 23.8%K, 149 wRC+ Absurdly small sample sizes that could change with one golden sombrero tonight, but you'd rather they be doing this than the alternative.

    Hopefully that means we no longer have to be subjected to Vargas at the big league level. Pretty excited to see Hughes up, though. Let's start the AAA reliever auditions early.
  3. Hrubes20
    The strawman arguments are getting tiresome. Does anyone know if we have an ignore function on this board?
  4. Hrubes20
    Marquez and Moreno are alive! Tough break for Howard. He was finally hitting not terrible and then he gets hurt. Here's hoping it isn't as bad as it looked.
  5. Hrubes20
    Yeah, Bain and Clarke make the most sense right now to fill the Tennessee rotation spots vacated by Jensen and Thompson. I still want to see Caissie and PCA swapped.
  6. Hrubes20
    Yeah, that's nice to see after a miserable start. Even if you take out just the first 3 games, his numbers jump up considerably (.263/.377/.456, 134 wRC+, 13% BB, 26.1% K). Hopefully it's a trend that continues.

    Good lord that was a filthy slider. Awesome for the team, but man, I may have to watch Reindl a bit closer.

    The sun 90s in that last inning certainly is worrisome, but is the typically low 90s and can pop some velo here and there but is more a command/location guy? Part of what made Kilian so interesting was that last year he discovered some velocity and was sitting mid-90's and hitting 98 with the 4 seamer. It's possible he has been throwing almost exclusively 2-seamers and cutters at the lower velocity, but the video I've seen has plenty of 4 seamers at a lower velocity. Some guys just take a little while to get ramped all the way up. Here's hoping Kilian is one of them.
  10. Hrubes20
    If Kilian is still throwing low 90's in June, I will be alarmed.
  11. Hrubes20
    Yeah, he's Rule V eligible this offseason if he isn't added.
  12. Hrubes20
    Nice! His promotion makes that Iowa offense more interesting. We theoretically don't need to see 32 year old John Hicks start at DH anymore.
  13. Hrubes20
    Brennen back in the lineup for Iowa tonight.
  14. Hrubes20
    Schlaffer, much like many (most?) of the pitching prospects in the system, has big K numbers so far. Does anyone know if he's added a better breaking ball this offseason? I seem to recall him being a 92-94 guy with a good changeup last year in his brief 1st stint with MB.

    PCA stole home as well. I think that’s 7 steals already.
  16. Hrubes20
    Another multi hit game for PCA with a HBP thrown in to pad that sexy OBP. His double came with the bases loaded. No SBs today though. Slacker.
  17. Hrubes20
    PCA got on base 3 more times last night and swiped another base. It wouldn’t suck if he became Kenny Lofton.
  18. Hrubes20
    I thought someone said he was having visa issues, but I may be mistaken on that.
  19. Hrubes20
    PCA bomb. I believe this one actually went out. We finally have one of the good hitters doing something!
  20. Hrubes20
    Sorta. Counts, though. https://www.bleachernation.com/cubs/2022/04/19/pete-crow-armstrongs-first-pro-homer-was-a-weird-one-even-by-inside-the-park-standards/ Well damn lol PCA doubled. That's progress, too. I’d honestly count it as a triple. Dude has wheels and that was the deepest part of the park.
  21. Hrubes20
    Sigh. Nolan Gorman being a monster early in the season and Brennen Davis mostly falling on his face is not making it easy to talk to Cards fan associates.
  22. Hrubes20
    Kevin Made sighting! 2-2 with a BB before being pulled (hopefully just load management coming off injury). This system needed one dang bat starting out hot.
  23. Hrubes20
    AZPhil has a post about the EXST roster. Brayan Altuve has apparently been moved to the OF. https://www.thecubreporter.com/04142022/2022-cubs-extended-spring-training-roster
  24. Hrubes20
    This Royber Salinas facing MB is a damn monster.
  25. Hrubes20
    5:1 GO/FO ratio too. And one hit was of the infield variety. That's a terrific first outing for him. Milb gameday strike zones are notoriously untrustworthy, but it looked like he was being squeezed a bit at the bottom of the zone. Hopefully someone was there than can chime in on it.
