    Zach Rosscup pitched an inning of relief in AZ League and K’d all three batter he faced.

    Wonder if Schwarber being called up is a bit of a tryout/showcase for other teams to see how MLB ready he may be at catcher. Him being able to be serviceable at catcher right now improves his trade value. Not suggesting he be traded, but it would give other teams (and the Cubs) and idea of where he is.

    Gleybar with a nice night, going 3 for 5 with two doubles for South Bend. Pierce Johnson goes 6.2 innings, allowing 1run (HR), 6 hits, 5 Ks and 2 BBs for the Smokies. Corey Black gets the final out of the inning (K) with 2 on.McKinney with the collar so far in 4 ABs. Christian Villanueva with a couple of DONGS for Iowa in their blowout so far.

    Daury outpitches Lucas, and Chesny goes 4-4. MB leads Potomac 5-2 late.

    Absolutely. But it's hard to fault them for allowing Almora's past success at higher levels power him over the shinier, newer Jimenez, who happened to heat up for a few weeks before he went down for a few more. Speaking of which, is there any word on Eloy's condition? It was said to have been minor, and not requiring a DL stint. That was July 3, and he hasn't played since, so he may as well have. Eugene's roster is allowed 35 players so the DL is only used when the player's injury is severe enough that he is transferred to Arizona for rehab. Eloy playing tonight and is 1 for 1?

    I'm guessing it's the time (in seconds) from the time the catcher catches the ball until he "pops up" into a throwing position.
  7. PackLandVA
    Sale gets career high in Ks with 15. Cubs don't muster enough runs to win.
  8. PackLandVA
    Isn't his velocity even up from where he was pre-injury? Maybe a wee bit. He was hitting 97 tonight evidently. I don't think he had ever been clocked at 100 pre TJS, but I guess it's possible he could have in shorter stints. This was posted in the thread during his last start on July 4th. Have heard the fastball up to 100 mph this summer. Probably highest-ceiling arm in #Cubs system https://t.co/qvnOnN73it — John Manuel (@johnmanuelba) July 5, 2015

    How far outside of the top 30 does Baez fall?
  10. PackLandVA
    With Torres being in the Top 30 now, could he be the center piece of a significant trade? He's still really young but playing already at A ball.
  11. PackLandVA
    Villanueva has some pop and doesn't strike out nearly as much. I think it's more likely that Villanueva would come up as a PH late in a contacted "contact" a better outcome than it would be for Olt to go dong. More likely, Olt would K in a PH spot. A look see of Villanueva may also give him some trade value. I think Olt is what he is.
  12. PackLandVA
    Justin Steele not being helped by his team's defense. An error and a pass ball. Stats so far are 4 innings, 3 runs, 1 earned run, 5 Ks , 0 BBs.
  13. PackLandVA
    So would Villanueva get a call up, maybe, before Olt? Both plus defenders, both can spell first base if needed, but only one has crazy eyes.
  14. PackLandVA
    Carson Sands with a mediocre start: 4 innings, 3 hits, 2 ER, 0 Ks, 4 BBs.
  15. PackLandVA
    Marvin Hudson should be ashamed of his strike zone today. Doesn't matter if he was consistent, a sh!tty strike zone is still a sh!itty strike zone.
  16. PackLandVA
    Five wins in their last 6 games is a great way to come back after that disastrous Cardinals series.
  17. PackLandVA
    Would like to see Montero deposit one of those 99mphs into to Left center bleachers.
  18. PackLandVA
    Can he lay down a sac bunt?
  19. PackLandVA
    Coughlan says, "Take that Schwarber!"
  20. PackLandVA
    Starters tonight, reserves tomorrow.
  21. PackLandVA
    He's got "Walden Hop" thing going.
  22. PackLandVA
    And that's one of the reasons Soler's return is so important. Makes the bench better.
  23. PackLandVA
    Castro drives me nuts!
  24. PackLandVA
    Who gave PTR the sweet seats?
  25. PackLandVA
    I don't know but when just almost every hitter is underperforming expectations or career norms you have to wonder if something is wrong with their instruction. Len was just singing the praises of Mallee earlier in the game.
