Iowa Anthony Rizzo just keeps hitting. He knocked out his 10th HR of the year last night and is now hitting .356. Luis Valbuena is also doing very well but at this point isn't anything but injury insurance. Frank Batista is really struggling in the bullpen since his promotion but is young-ish for the level so maybe he just needs …

Iowa Offense Eruption! The boys in Iowa decided to explode all of the face of Fresno by jacking out 13 runs. Rizzo hit two long hard ones out and Vitters showed off with a dong of his own. Brett Jackson took two easy bases on balls before smacking the ball around for a triple. All in all it was a …

Iowa It was a pitching duel in Des Moines yesterday as Brett Jackson scored the only run of the game on a balk. Casey Coleman was the pitcher for Iowa working 7 IP and only giving up 2 hits. He struck out 9 batters and has a respectable ERA of 3.48. Scott Maine finished the game with two scoreless innings …

Iowa Brett Jackson had a good game going 2-3 with a BB and a HR. Jackson is now batting .259 on the year. I think the end might have come for Jay Jackson. He just isn't any good anymore and his 6.75 ERA suggests he might not even be a good AAA arm. Jackson's decline was never tied to anything …

Iowa Lots of hitting going on as Iowa put up 13 on Memphis. Brett Jackson went 4-5 and raised his batting average by almost 30 points. Adrian Cardenas went 3-5 and really by this point should be here over DeWitt. Vitters went 2-5 and Dave Sappelt went 3-6 with a HR. Smokies Logan Watkins had a great game going 2-5 …

Iowa Dave Sappelt hit his 2nd HR of the year and Anthony Rizzo knocked in 3 RBI's. Adrian Cardenas keeps killing the ball down there and Vitters is now sporting a sweet .635 OPS. But at least he has 5 walks vs 6 k's. Keep in mind he is still young for AAA. Casey Coleman had a good start but …
The Children Are The Future-Cubs Shit Sponsored by ALCO
Iowa Josh Vitters took a walk. Move along sir. Smokies Kevin Rhoderick and Alberto Cabrera both had good outings in relief. These are two guys you could see up in the majors at some point this year as the Cubs continue to develop relief pitchers and 2nd basemen. Its all part of the plan people. Daytona Ronald Torreyes had a …

Iowa It was a sloppy game for the Iowa Cubs as Vitters, Rizzo and Cardenas each committed an error. Brett Jackson went 1-5 with a triple and Nate Robertson continued his inspired campaign to be released within the first month. Smokies Rain Out Daytona There's just no way to sugarcoat it- Hayden Simpson was awful tonight. His final line was …

Iowa Anthony Rizzo see's LaHair's HR and raises him a pair of HR's as he went deep for # 5 and 6 tonight. His OPS is currently some enormous figure I don't care enough to look up but trust me people is big. And thick. Beef Castle hit a HR himself and Brett Jackson went yard for the first time …
