Wow...bases clearing two-out single plus error. I-Cubs suck.

I'm guessing this is due to the Ha injury last night. It is good to see, and I will finally get a chance to really watch him.

Reminds me with Szczur, but I was wrong about Soler, Concepcion and Szczur having only 3 options. Apparently each is going to qualify for a fourth option year according to AZ Phil.

Callis chat:
John (Boston): What is the ceiling of Javier Baez? Are there any questions about his strike zone discipline?

Jim Callis: Huge ceiling. He has a big-time bat and has played a better shortstop than expected, to the point where he might be able to stay there. His biggest need right now is to tone down his approach at the plate, though it's hard to argue with the results.
Matt C (Ankeny, IA): Is Dillon Maples hurt? Cubs #1 prospect if you wrote the Top 10 today - Baez or Soler? Thanks!

Jim Callis: Maples tweaked his elbow earlier in the year and the Cubs have exercised extreme caution. I'd have Baez No. 1 . . . don't forget about Almora, either.

Szczur 0-for-2 with a lineout and a strikeout (7 pitches) so far in his AA debut.

I think Rosscup is the other guy from Tampa in the Garza trade and he just struck out the side. Szczur up to bat in the next half-inning.

Brett Jackson hasn't struck out yet.

You are correct that Rosscup was the other guy the Cubs got with Garza.

Groundout for Szczur.

Volstad generating tons of ground balls as usual for the I-Cubs.

I think I like this Rosscup kid so far. Just his first taste of AA. He came in for long relief today but I hope they give him more starts. At least Hendry did something right, it seems.

Greg Rohan seems old for the level but he sure likes beating up on AA pitching.

AA manager seems content to let Rosscup keep at it, he just laid down a bunt.

Dave Sappelt --> RBI triple
