At the Myrtle Beach Pelicans game. Eloy Jimenez brought up today. RBI in first AB.

BVS,
But if Buddy Bailey keeps bunting I’m going to scream.

Jeremy Null is on fire tonight. I’ve never said that before.

BVS,
Can they do that? I bet the Brewers would complain.

Assume it’s an injury replacement for Yasiel Balaguert who pulled his hammy beating out an IF single in deciding game of division series. The pinch runner scored the winning run, iirc.

That could have been better.

Rice Cube,
Singles in 2nd AB then advance on passed ball

Not a promising start for Jake.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
dmick89,
I’ll be here next year. But not sure Eloy will be. Hope we get at least a few weeks before the promote him to AA.
BVSQuote Reply
Nope, but a nice start for the offense.

Nice baserunning by Javy.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Ugh, throw strikes, Jake.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Here’s hoping Jake can be effectively wild, because he’s looking fairly wild so far.

BVS,
Spoke too soon, but he escaped. Ceiling is as an RP at best.

Baez!

Knocking out the opposing starter in the 3rd. That’s what I love to see.
PerkinsQuote Reply
Unfortunately, the Cubs will need a sweep to clinch in St. Louis. Shame they couldn’t scratch out a W yesterday.

I missed the conga-line offense.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
More great baserunning.

I thought Jake was looking good after that shaky first inning. Ugh.

Jake has as many wild pitches this year as the last two years combined.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Stop throwing breaking balls in the dirt, guys.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
So…Cahill for the 3-inning save?

Rice Cube,
That would be cool.

The ball is really flying today.
