Albertos’ lack of control this season has been such a disappointment.

It feels like every prep arm who isn’t hurt has helium. I saw that Jonathan India stole the headlines from the Mize/Singer matchup Thursday by homering off Mize.

Why would you change what's clearly working? Because Almora still sucks against RHP and Zobrist is twice the hitter he is. Rizzo is ass right now. And Javy should get more RBI opportunities. Why would you move Rizzo down when you know he’s going to turn the corner and hit like the best hitter in the league in a week or so? He does this slump thing like 3 times a year and turns it around each time.

Figured that was coming with Camargo getting promoted to South Bend.

Let’s sweep these bastards and completely turn them into the 2016 Pirates.

Jesus Camargo has been promoted to South Bend, per Arizona Phil: https://www.thecubreporter.com/04292018/cubs-play-draw-fitch-park#more Luis Vazquez had 2 singles down in Mesa today.

On the other hand, a few people in this thread were going on about Miles Mikolas' crappy spring. He's got a 3.36 ERA now through 33 innings with only 2 walks.

Looks like Lange and Little both has their best pro starts today. Little: 4.2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 K

Amaya 2-run double.

The Brewers are 5-11 against teams above .500. The Cubs are 12-7, but the way this is going, it’ll soon be 6-6 because they’ll have knocked the Brewers below .500.

Dillon Maples with the rare 4 strikeout inning today.

Dude, I'm not one to judge or criticize or be a grammar Nazi, but this is like the third time you've called Alec Bohm ... Alec Brohm. Not a big deal, and I didn't say anything the first or second time but that's not how you spell his name lol. Autocorrect clearly isn’t a fan of his name because I have been trying to type Bohm.

In 6 games against the Cubs, the Brewers have scored 9 runs. Nice.

horsefeathers this ump.

BA mock of the top 15: https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/mlb-mock-draft/?utm_source=180427_newsletter&utm_medium=email

Do you know what the injury concerns are with Daniels? I saw on Twitter that he fell due to injury.

From the not very obscure candidates: Miguel Amaya, Cory Abbott and Erling Moreno (whoops) were my picks. Fair enough. Any out of the woodwork, unexpected guys you like? Kevonte Mitchell. I've predicted a breakout for him for like 3 straight years, maybe I'll eventually get it right. I also thought one of the many Latin American middle infielders in A-ball (Narea, Peguero, Monasterio or Perlaza) would separate from the pack and establish themselves as future big league utility guy/2nd division second baseman. I thought Peyton Remy and Tyler Thomas might break out as a relievers and move quickly through the system. But Remy is stuck in Extended and Thomas is starting for South Bend. Not sure how out of the woodwork those guys are for your taste.

http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2018?list=draft MLB Pipeline updated their top 100 and sadly, NSBB favorite Jonathan India is now at 10. Admittedly they have Alec Brohm at 11, which seems low.

Underwood with 5 scoreless, 5 Ks to only 1 walk. 18 K and 2 BB in 18 innings this season. I believe the kids would call this post a subtweet of TT.

Roquan is a pretty nice defensive player at a position of greater need than Fitzpatrick but I really like Fitzpatrick. He better not end up a Packer.
