    Craig (and everyone else), I'm sure you'll enjoy these entries from AZ Phil at Cub Reporter: But wait, there's more:

    I had to give up tickets to see San Bernardino vs. Rancho Cucamonga the other day - the game started off with Bartolo Colon pitching to Rafael Furcal. :shock:

    More questions about some of the young Latin American pitchers, Nate... What are your overall thoughts on all of them - specifically Albuquerque, Ceda, Pina and Castillo. I know Ceda is HUGE and throws gas (as does Castillo and Dolis)...what about Albuquerque and Pina. What other pitchers do these guys throw? Who's left the best impression on you so far?
  7. CaliforniaRaisin
    I'd also like to hear about his stuff. I know that Ceda, Castillo, and Dolis all throw very hard. And, all three are pretty wild. Physically, Ceda is the hulk of the bunch. Ceda has a slider of some promise. All three of Ceda, Castillo, and Dolis have been pretty wild. Not sure what if anything Dolis and Castillo have for non-fastball. But Pina and Albuquerque, I don't know what they've got. Carillo is a little guy who doesn't throw hard, even though he seems to have better control and maybe a breaking pitch. I'd love to hear Raisin's observations on them. Where did you hear Ceda threw a slider? I thought he threw a curve (of promise, as you said). Otherwise, I don't know much more than you. I've heard Albuquerque threw hard a few years ago, before the injuries, but who knows now. I know nothing about Pina's arsenal. This is one of the reasons I really need to listen to some Peoria games. :) We should drop Nate some questions too.

    Aramis and DeRosa hurt? Lame.
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    Internet is down at home, so no time to look at opposing pitchers or stats. Iowa: Walrond Tenn: Berg Daytona: Blackford Peoria: Pina

    Events Forum (first sticky).

    Do I win if Lou never gets ejected? (Never submitted an entry.)
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    Rumor has it that once Ryan Harvey leaves EXT, he'll head to Daytona and not Tennessee.
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    Tennessee loses 5-1. Chris Walker went 2 for 3, Jake Fox and Matt Craig each had a double. Peoria loses game two too, 2-1. Muldowney gets the CG - 6 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 8 K, 2 BB, 1 HR. Muldowney has 17 Ks in 11 IP this season. Josh Lansford went 2 for 2 with 2 doubles.
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    Huntsville now up 4-1 on Tennessee in the middle of the 6th. Peoria tied 1-1 now in the 5th inning. Muldowney: 5 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 8 K, 2 BB.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Daytona loses 4-3.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Mike Cooper leaves the Daytona game with some sort of injury. :?
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    Tennessee down 3-1 after 3 innings. Jake Fox with an RBI double. Only one walk for Donnie in the fourth: 4 IP, 3 ER, 2 H, 3 K, 7 BB, 1 WP Mike Cooper gives up a run so far in the bottom of the 8th and Vero Beach leads it 4-3. Peoria tied at 1 in the middle of the third inning. Josh Lansford is 2 for 2 with 2 double. Muldowney: 2 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 3 K, 0 BB
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Needing a triple to hit for the cycle, Colvin strikes out swinging in the 7th inning.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Not a great overall line, but he only walked one. The increase in his BB rate after his promotion last year had been the concern going into this season, so it's good to see that he's throwing strikes in his starts so far. Yeah, that's what I thought too. Also, he only had one bad inning today. I'm definitely much more disappointed with Veal - he's struggling to make up for his lack of control (he was able to dance around it at Peoria and Daytona and Sean was able to avoid too many problems at West Tenn last season despite the control issues).
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    Ugh. 3 IP, 3 ER, 2 H, 3 K, 6 BB, 1 WP, 1 balk Peoria down 1-0 after 1. Lansford finally gets his second hit of the season and gets his BA over .100 (.125), but it's a double, so he's slugging .375.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    The first reason is why I can't see all three in the rotation at the same time. The Cubs got 1.5 (counting Prior as a half) out of a much more heralded trio of Prior-Cruz-Zambrano. It's just unlikely that all three will succeed at the bigs. While Samardzija is the furtherest behind, I think it's a near lock he'll make the big leagues before Veal since Samardzija is likely to get a September call-up since he's on the 40-man. I have to disagree with EJ on one thing, Samardzija is throwing his slider and change - not just his FB. He's still struggling with the mechanical aspects of his secondary pitches.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Jesse Estrada gives up a run in the bottom of the 6th and Vero Beach ties Daytona at 3.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Samardizja's final line: 5 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 2 K, 2 BB, 1 HBP, 1 HR Daytona up 3-2 in the middle of the 6th.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Peoria - game two: Camp 2B Mota SS Lansford 3B Canzler 1B Joseph CF Carter RF Lewis LF Lopez DH Castillo, W C Muldowney P
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    This is Colvin's first game batting since game number 1 right? If so, that's a great very, very early start-5 for 6 with 2 SB and 1 HR. No, he played both games yesterday, going 1/7 with a double and K.
