    I love that they sent Horton back out for the 3rd after that abysmal 2nd inning. 1-2-3 with 3 Ks.
  2. Hrubes20
    Wheels fall off for Horton in 2nd. Can’t throw a strike to save his life.
  3. Hrubes20
    Horton walks the first AAA hitter he faces, then gets the next 3 with a K. Working right around 93. K was on a nasty slider

    I’m waiting for the typical ACL box score nonsense and the correction that it wasn’t Mule in inning 2 or something.
  5. Hrubes20
    Mule gets the opener for the ACL.
  6. Hrubes20
    Eff it. See if Oakland would take their choice of 2 from the Alcantara/Ballesteros/Triantos group as the main return for Mason Miller.
  7. Hrubes20
    This MFer is going full Kerry Wood. 15 Ks through 6

    Aliendo doubles up on bombs too! Don’t remember the last time I’ve seen 3 teammates all hit multiple bombs in the same game. Maybe never.
  9. Hrubes20
    Alcantara bomb #2 of the game. He’s red hot after that horrific start.
  10. Hrubes20
    Rosario pulled from today’s game and promoted, per AZPhil. Makes that MB squad much more watchable.
  11. Hrubes20
    I know Carico is on the IL, but did we ever hear what the injury was? I seem to recall that it wasn’t considered serious but nothing else.
  12. Hrubes20
    And Marcus Giles took out Prior. Maybe that's why I subconsciously root against the Braves.
  13. Hrubes20
    You forget about Bryzzo so quickly?
  14. Hrubes20
    Definitely soon. It would be great to see how he handles some of the junkballers in AAA
  15. Hrubes20
    On the flip side, Alcantara looks lost up there
  16. Hrubes20
    Make that 2 bombs for Shaw. First one to right center. This one to left center. As I said, monster.
  17. Hrubes20
    Matt Shaw is ridiculous. Took a walk in the 1st and hit a solo bomb in the 3rd. Both against former 1st rounder and top 100 prospect Chase Petty. Been fine at 3B defensively as well. He’s a monster.
  18. Hrubes20
    Not at all. Forearm is almost always UCL related
  19. Hrubes20
    horsefeathers. Franklin was looking great in his AAA debut and pretty sure he just blew his elbow.
  20. Hrubes20
    Never had any issue with Ferris getting dealt. Trading minor league arms for minor league bats with both production and 1st round pedigree is usually a winning proposition.
  21. Hrubes20
    So Zyhir Hope is going nuclear to start the year. I would be wildly pissed off about that, if Busch wasn’t looking so good at the big league level.
  22. Hrubes20
    This is even a bad angle for a minor league game. The worst I’ve even seen
  23. Hrubes20
    This camera angle for the TEN game is terrible.
  24. Hrubes20
    I agree 100%. Semantics, but I probably should have said middling. There will always be a couple prospects that stick out. But I would say at least half of the league, maybe more, has more recognizable talent at this point in the lower levels. But then again the Cubs have WAY more talent in the upper levels right now than pretty much anybody other than Baltimore. As you said, it's a transition. It just makes the lower levels much less interesting to follow right now, which is all I was getting at. For sure. And obviously that is the ideal outcome. Just makes it less entertaining on nights when those prospect-laden upper minors teams don't play. That hadn't really hit home for me until last night, when I was flipping between the MB and SB games while waiting for the big league game. Those two teams are boring AF right now.
  25. Hrubes20
    When Tennessee doesn't play, it becomes painfully obvious just how mediocre the talent level is in this system at the lower levels. Or maybe it just did for me.
