Javy stopped twice and beat it by a mile still
-
Big hit for Javy
-
Hey Wilson pitched a scoreless outing haha Man he's been terrible. No words.
-
From his comments on it, he has no plans to slide him down the pecking order
-
Rich Hill just squared to bunt and took a Clayton Richard fastball to the throat

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 8-10-17
We Got The Whole 9 replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
A month old and with Tennessee but here's video of Maples Stuff looks really good -
I mean he's pitched 4 innings. Sure they were not good at all but they are 4 innings. He had a 12 K9 with Detroit. And that was only in 40 innings, which is kinda a small sample size with the fungibility of relief pitchers and his historical performance. The previous 4 years he's been in the 9s for K/9 in 3 of those years and 7s for one of those years (though he is/was upward trending) spanning ~250 innings and he's in the 9s overall for his career. Fair point but as he explained in the recent interview with him he developed his curve this year to help keep hitters off the fastball. It's not a great pitch but if it can disrupt timing then his fastball has a better chance of missing bats and that's what had happened in those 40 innings. So the scales should tip in the other direction soon I hope.

I don't get that, other than he throws fast. He has no command/control of the FB and it doesn't seem to have a lot of movement and none of his secondary stuff seems great that he can get guys off the FB. I'm very disappointed in him with the eye test so far, the results speak for themselves, but just watching him pitch his stuff just doesn't inspire much confidence. I mean he's pitched 4 innings. Sure they were not good at all but they are 4 innings. He had a 12 K9 with Detroit.

Cool, makes sense. He's pitching lights out and is exactly the type of arm you want for the postseason.
-
Per Cubs Insider, Wilson's fastball has the highest whiff rate among LHRP in MLB. We haven't see it yet in a Cubs uni but the sample is extremely small and that should change.
-
I thought the report was that he's allowed to discuss and seek an opt out clause with the acquiring team (not that he just automatically has it) in exchange for waiving no trade rights I didn't really look too hard at it Ok, I just saw someone post the tweet. I need clarification now.
-
Per Merosi, if Verlander is traded he will be able to opt out after this season, and same for next year if he's traded in the offseason First I'm hearing of that
-
Take a shot?
-
Want. To. See. Passes.
-
Man you can't drop a pick like that
-
This is efficient passing
-
This was apparent in his workouts. His ball placement is phenomenal.
-
Easy to get hyperbolic but he's looked horsefeathering awesome on this drive
-
Good stuff, stepping up in the pocket
-
On the move and on the money
-
I'll take it. Our rookies held their own and Floyd flashed big. Our defense is solid.
-
Wish it was Shaheen but that was sweet
-
Everyone wants to see this 7 Denver, horsefeathers off
-
The pass game has been terrible but we are playing a ridiculously talented team as well. At least several defenders have flashed. Oh horsefeathers Mitch in
-
Definitely should've had that, Shaheen
