  1. Christian Franklin with a homer in his last at bat yesterday and his first at bat today.
  2. Craig, I think PCA will be up in September and the Cubs will give him every opportunity to be on the 2024 Opening Day roster for a chance at the incentive. Horton and Shaw? I agree with you. (Also, at this point, Caissie looks like he will qualify too but I doubt he has a chance to be in their Opening Day plans.)
  3. Doubt they went that far but they probably promised a high start and quick promotions if deserved. Either way, multiple 2022 draftees were already in the bigs by the time of the 2023 draft so that's all the Angels really needed to point to.
  4. Scheduled Games (All Times Central): Iowa vs. Louisville, 6:08 pm Tennessee vs. Rocket City, 6:00 pm South Bend at West Michigan, 6:05 pm Myrtle Beach at Columbia, 5:05 pm ACL Cubs at ACL Giants Black, 12:30 pm - game should be streamed here: https://www.youtube.com/@SFGiantsComplexStreams/streams DSL Cubs Blue vs DSL Giants Black, 10:00 am DSL Cubs Red at DSL Pirates Black, 9:00 am DSL Cubs Red vs. DSL Pirates Black (makeup of 7/17 game), TBD Probable Starters: Iowa: TBD Tennessee: TBD South Bend: RHP Luis Devers (41.2 IP, 5.62 ERA, 5.08 FIP, 39 K, 25 BB) Myrtle Beach: LHP Drew Gray (17.2 IP, 5.60 ERA, 4.68 FIP, 23 K, 18 BB)
  5. The Angels are doing this to a) bring as much talent as possible to try and make the playoffs and re-sign Ohtani and b) possibly because they've found a way to get talent they might not otherwise get or talent they can sign to smaller bonuses with the allure of a quicker promotion to the majors and getting to free agency quicker.
  6. https://twitter.com/MLBPipeline/status/1692621449834479672?s=20 Palencia graduates and Christian Franklin joins the Pipeline Cubs Top 30.
  7. Scheduled Games (All Times Central): Iowa vs. Louisville, 7:08 pm Tennessee vs. Rocket City, 6:00 pm South Bend at West Michigan, 5:35 pm Myrtle Beach at Columbia, 6:05 pm ACL Cubs vs ACL Rockies, 8:00 pm DSL Cubs Blue vs DSL Astros Orange (completion of game suspended on 8/4), 9:00 am DSL Cubs Blue vs. DSL Astros Orange, TBD DSL Cubs Red at DSL Pirates Gold, 10:00 am Probable Starters: Iowa: TBD Tennessee: RHP Joe Nahas (20.1 IP, 7.08 ERA, 7.67 FIP, 14 K, 13 BB) South Bend: RHP Brody McCullough (25.2 IP, 4.56 ERA, 3.75 FIP, 23 K, 8 BB) Myrtle Beach: RHP Kevin Valdez (23.1 IP, 2.70 ERA, 4.14 FIP, 22 K, 14 BB)
  8. Wicks wants Stroman‘s spot in the rotation in September.
  9. Missed this last night but Rojas went 2/4 with a double and homer. OPS up to .768.
  10. @squally1313- Hope the OP is better. Let me know!
  11. Scheduled Games (All Times Central): Iowa vs. Louisville, 6:38 pm Tennessee vs. Rocket City, 6:00 pm South Bend at West Michigan, 6:35 pm Myrtle Beach at Columbia, 6:05 pm ACL Cubs at ACL Rangers, 8:00 pm DSL Cubs Blue at DSL Orioles Orange, 9:30 am DSL Cubs Red vs. DSL Red Sox Red, 9:30 am Probable Starters: Iowa: LHP Jordan Wicks (28.1 IP, 3.81 ERA, 4.74 FIP, 23 K, 12 BB) Tennessee: RHP Brandon Birdsell (5 IP, 3.60 ERA, 3.04 FIP, 3 K, 1 BB) South Bend: RHP Grant Kipp (4.2 IP, 1.93 ERA, 1.34 FIP, 8 K, 2 BB) Myrtle Beach: RHP Luis Rujano (42.1 IP, 2.34 ERA, 3.82 FIP, 48 K, 25 BB)
  12. Both got through 5! Horton: 5 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 7 K, 71 pitches Ferris: 5 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, 73 pitches Believe that’s a career high in innings and pitches for Jackson.
  13. Horton: 4 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, 59 pitches Ferris: 4 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 57 pitches Not sure if either gets the 5th.
  14. Horton’s own errant pickoff leads to a second unearned run: 3 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 6 K Ferris: 3 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K
  15. It was ruled an unearned run but Nwogu made another error during a Horton start that cost Horton a run. 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
  16. Jackson Ferris faced 3 batters in the first and struck them all out on 13 pitches.
  17. The Kiley blurb for Horton is especially fun:
  18. I copy and paste from the previous day's post so if something funky happened a few days ago, I've been copying it over every day. I'll type from scratch for tomorrow's thread and hopefully that gets rid of any issues you're seeing.
  19. https://twitter.com/kileymcd/status/1691833852530925948?s=46&t=W37ISIrjUHdGm-Y3K3j6Aw Kiley updated his midseason top 50 too: https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/38197232/kiley-mcdaniel-mlb-top-50-prospects-midseason-update-jackson-holliday 15. PCA - 55 FV 22. Horton - 55 FV Brown and Caissie were amongst the 30 others of note after the top 50.
  20. Pipeline updated their top farm rankings and the Cubs are 4th, behind the Orioles, Pirates and Brewers (and the Reds are right behind the Cubs at 5th).
  21.
