    Sorry, no pitching probables because I had to wake up early to go to jury duty in Downtown LA. From my memory, I believe it's: WT: LHP JR Mathes Daytona: RHP Grant Johnson Peoria: RHP Todd Blackford

    I think he has a chance to be solid, but not spectacular. His problem last year was that he racked up an obscene number of errors at 3B. He seems to have cut down on that this season, although it still is rather early. He also seems like he needs to work on his command of the strike zone since he's racked up 43 Ks on the season. Still, he's shown plenty of promise. He doesn't have the same ceiling as guys like Pie, Dopirak, or Harvey, but he definitely could be a good everyday guy at 3B if he improves and adjusts accordingly. The defense is still a concern, but his primary weakness is related to strike zone recognition/pitch selection.

    Are you moving to Redding or Davis? I'm closer if it's Davis, Quakers is probably closer if it's Redding.

    I wish the I-Cubs were in Sacramento over the weekend, not Fresno. I'd rather have seen them up there, especially since I have friends in the 916. Of course it's pointless now since I can't go up to Fresno this weekend either.

    I doubt you'll see Prior pitch because if he's at AAA, that'd mean it's more than likely his second rehab start (meaning he'd have to have one in the next few days) and also because the Cubs would prefer to have a home minor league game for the rehab assignment.

    Matt Craig ejected by an umpire who was quick to kick him out. He didn't like two straight borderline strike calls that got him struck out and said something.

    Eww, the Sacramento River Valley!

    Holliman is having one heck of a game so far: 7 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 10 K Daytona up 4-1.
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    I wonder if we can return Pierre. TT hasn't commented yet on Nolasco going to the rotation? Wow.
  10. CaliforniaRaisin
    Renyel (stats) is replacing Jason Vargas and will be in the pen. Ricky Nolasco (stats) will replace the injured Sergio Mitre in the rotation - his first start will be on Wednesday.

    Why would he need to play 2b? We've already got 6 people on the team who can do that. He can play 1b and the corner outfields which would be useful. SSR was sarcastic I assume Thanks nd. I'm not sure I've been anything but cynical, sarcastic, pessimistic, or obnoxious in any post the past 2 weeks. You mean you weren't like that in the past?

    In a chat, Chris Kline also had this to say about Marmol and Montanez:
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    After firing Dusty, I'd fire Hendry and MacPhail.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Any other thoughts on Atkins? And has Veal thrown anything outside of the FB and curve? How hard have both of these guys been throwing this year?
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    You're property of the Cubs. :mamoru:
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    Correct. Ron's been saying that on a few different broadcasts the last few weeks.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Probable Starters: Iowa: LHP Ryan O'Malley (1-2, 4.74 ERA, 19 IP, 18/1) vs. RHP Steven Shell (0-0, 2.00 ERA) West Tenn: RHP Juan Mateo (2-2, 2.35 ERA, 38.1 IP, 30/14) Daytona: RHP Sean Gallagher (2-0, 1.96 ERA, 41.1 IP, 43/9) Peoria: RHP Scott Taylor: (1-1, 1.72 ERA, 15.2 IP, 9/1) vs. RHP Eduardo Baeza (3-2, 3.24 ERA)

    re-signs or resigns? I think Vance means resigns in this situation.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Nah, "leftfield sucks." C'mon, Ryu!
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Heh, 20's quickly becoming one of my fave numbers.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    I'd have to say they were fundamentally poor and had an awful hitting philosophy as a team before Dusty came. He definitely didn't help. Dusty and his coaching staff aren't the only problems with this team (and I'm not talking about the players here).
