    Rondon wasn't warming up because Maddon knew this wouldn't be a save situation.
  2. CaliforniaRaisin
    That was unnecessarily long. Do umps think if they review for 5 minutes every time, MLB will get rid of replay?

    Oh what a night for Tommy La Stella. (Sorry, guys.)

    I'm still in the office and I just celebrated more than Strop.

    The 2011 first round was pretty solid: Gerrit Cole Trevor Bauer Anthony Rendon Francisco Lindor Javier Baez George Springer Jose Fernandez Sonny Gray Kolten Wong Joe Ross Joe Panik Jackie Bradley Jr Trevor Story Plus prospects like Robert Stephenson, Michael Fulmer, Joe Musgrove and Blake Snell.

    Contreras 0/0 with 4 BB and a HBP. I think he'll fit in on this big league team.
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    Justin Steele had 3 scoreless with 4 strikeouts but then couldn't get out of the 4th. 3+ IP, 5 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 4 K.

    Yeah, Kellogg was working 87-90 in college (obviously with an extra day of rest). That's not a promising velocity report.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    He'll start in Eugene. Has a shot at a promotion if he does well by the end of the season especially if South Bend makes the playoffs. Heck, if he keeps pitching like this, the Cubs could surprise us and just promote him straight to South Bend. The main reason why he starts in Eugene is thought to be keeping his innings in check and the Cubs history of moving their prep arms slowly, one level at a time. Because of his innings history and recent surgery, I just don't see how the Cubs will surprise us and push him to South Bend this year. And given his erratic control, it isn't the worst decision even if health and innings jumps weren't a concern.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Given their age in relation to their level, I'd like to see Kellogg and Stinnett promoted if they have a good May.

    That's not good. Odd that they pulled Stinnett after only 54 pitches. Thornton has been starting, so maybe he's missed starts and they want to get him some innings, or something? Stinnett's continued to have the ground ball thing going, and his ERA is now down below 2. Small sample, obviously, but seems pretty different from last year. It's a different world when you throw strikes! I wonder if pitch counts are wrong in the lower minors, seeing as Stinnett was pulled after 54 and Sands after 60. That said, Preston Morrison followed Sands so that might be more related to the piggyback situation at South Bend.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Tseng was pulled after retiring one batter in the third. Not sure if he's hurt but he had pitched shutout ball up till then.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    He's at the point where a 9.00 ERA through 3 only bumps his ERA up 0.16.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    I would be cool with the pen going the rest of the way since Hammel is already on his third time through the lineup.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Stinnett: 5 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 54 pitches Sands: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 4 K, 60 pitches And the bad: Pierce Johnson: 3 IP, 4 H, 4 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 1 HBP, 1 HR, already 52 pitches
