Not surprising. There's a DH till AA across the minors and even then, minor league affiliates of AL teams DH in AA and AAA. Rondon was an Indian throughout his minor league time.

No pressure, Rondon. You have to just prove you deserve to exist in Matt Vasgersian's eyes by getting a 4-out save.

The other thing that sucks about him is that he struck out looking on the previous pitch.

"Zobrist had McCutcheon played perfectly." I thought McCutcheon beat shifts???

Whoomp there it is, indeed.

Two years ago, there's no way that would have meant what just happened.

Oh, look. That shift worked on McCutcheon this time and Smoltz is quiet.

Javy nodding slowly at the ump for getting the call right dot GIF.

I love how Baez cockily shows up umpires asking for the review.

Can't wait for red-ass Hurdle and his team to retaliate for a bases loaded HBP.

Only 3 runs given all that isn't bad. Also this home plate ump sucks.

Ron Coomer legitimately might be better than this crew.

Adequate announcers don't think the Cubs need a closer.

Love me 2-strike Rizzo homers off division-rival lefties. Lazy effort by Kang on that double.

There's going to be a bunch of movement in the next few weeks with Eugene/Mesa starting and draft picks signing.

Hatch with a complete game shutout but he threw 112 pitches in some really hot weather. (This is why the draft should be after the college baseball season.)

Thomas Hatch will be pitching for Oklahoma State against UCSB on ESPN2 in the College World Series in about 15 minutes.
