Just like they wouldn't start Johan for the longest time.

Iowa: RHP Angel Guzman (1-0, 0.00 ERA, 5 IP) vs. RHP Ezequiel Astacio (0-0, 0.00 ERA, 6 IP) West Tenn: RHP Federico Baez (1-0, 3.00 ERA, 3 IP) Daytona: RHP Mark Holliman (0-0, 1.80 ERA, 5 IP) vs. RHP Nicholas Webber (0-0, 0.00 ERA, 5 IP) Peoria: LHP Jesus Yepez (0-0, 1.50 ERA, 6 IP) vs. LHP Adam Daniels (1-0, 4.50 ERA, 6 IP)

[-( Can't keep your teams straight?? :oops: He is a Bruin, though. :)

5'7", 160 lbs. I'm speedy, good on defense, an average hitter with a good eye. I played CF in HS. Sorry but I'm going to have to bump you, Is_Pedro_There.

They've been doing it for a few years now.

Ouch Plus the 2 HBP, this is not good for Hagerty, if there was speculation of Veal being at Daytona to start the year, it is far fetched, but someone might go up to Daytona (not necessarily Veal) to make room for a certain young lefty from Utah @ Peoria. Shaver has been perfect for 2.2 since Hagerty left, 4 K's, 4 groundouts. He was pretty much perfect pitching long in Hagerty's other start, too. Could just pop him in Hagerty's spot. Or Blasko. Or I suppose they could give Weber a shot, although he seems perhaps over his head in A+. Veal seems way wild for A-, can't see it making much sense to bump him up. Billek doesn't seem very good, struggling again tonight as a flyball pitcher with no K-stuff. Atkins and Blackford seem too young and raw to fit for a jump to A+. I don't really see anybody who's advanced enough and having success at Peoria to merit a promotion. I suppose Yepez might be the closest thing. Harvey with two more K's in his first two AB. He's got 10 K's thus far in 19AB. I know for years the hope has been that with some coaching or shortening his swing or something or other he might be salvagable. But given his arm, I wonder if it might not be a favor to him to consider moving him to the mound sooner rather than later. There had been talk that pre-draft he was viewed as having very high-round potential as a pitcher. I know it's not going to happen, and they'll let him whiff away his career for at least this year and next regardless, he's that strong when he occassionally does hit it. But it's pretty tough to see him ever hitting. Hopefully Shaver will keep the spot warm for Blasko and Blasko will return to his 2003 form.

Yay Murton! On that note, time for work. Cubs better have won when I get back.

Geez, Zambrano.

Argh, Pie is robbed of an XBH when he lines out to the first baseman with 2 men in scoring position.

Oh man, Neifi hit that hard. :shock:

Murton's been too anxious lately If Murton was sitting dead red on a fastball down the heart of the plate and that is what Milton threw, then I have no problem with him being aggressive. It just didn't work out this time. Exactly. Too many people just say "Way to swing at the first pitch". If we would have taken that ball the other way it was a perfect pitch to hit. It wasn't a bad ball to swing at all, just a bad swing. Badger agreeing with badgercub. That could get confusing. :P

Milton is on pace for a 234-pitch 9-inning no-hitter, with 9 walks.

I counted 26? EDIT: Nevermind, I'm just slow to post.

Ugh, Dunn.

Those are all 2005 numbers, except where current year numbers are given in parenthesis. Wonderful, thanks.

Felix Pie up to lead off the bottom of the 4th inning. Pie fouls a bunt attempt, count goes to 0-1. Pie hits a line drive just foul down the RF line, count goes to 0-2. Pie fouls a pitch back, 0-2. Pie takes ball 1 low and away, 1-2. Pie fouls a pitch back, 1-2. Pie flies out to RCF.

Yeah, I assumed the same thing.

Awesome.

I would let Sean have at least 10 starts at Daytona before considering moving him up.

Gallagher is scheduled to pitch that day, hopefully there aren't rainouts or something else to screw that up for you.

Elaborate? The announcer said he saw a story where Russ asked questions about why he was cut while others (he named names, including Valdes) were still on the team. He was also mad that he was cut after he did 30-minute running drills and not before. I'm going to go hunt for the article later. Nashville's starting pitcher hit in the fingers on a comebacker. He's staying in the game.

So you're saying I can bribe myself? :-k

He's starting against Iowa today.

Wow, sounds like Rohlicek really bad mouthed Raul Valdes, the I-Cubs and the whole organization when he was cut.

I don't like Pagan batting third.
