Memphis Redbirds 4 @ Iowa Cubs 3 The Resistance is a game where players attempt to deduce one another's identities. It is similar in structure to party games such as Mafia and Werewolf, where a small, informed minority attempt to mislead a larger, uninformed majority. The Resistance uses slightly different mechanics from similar games, and was designed explicitly to avoid …

JOT: Cubs Minor League Recap 8-1-13
Iowa Cubs 3 @ Salt Lake Bees 9 Mike Olt was 1-4 with a strikeout. Logan Watkins was 1-5. As I said, only 2 people actually play offense on this team. I think starting next Friday, I'm going to take a vacation from Iowa box scores and just write about anything more interesting (which, coincidentally, is anything). Barret Loux was …
JOT: Cubs Minor League Recap 7-21-13
Iowa Cubs 0 @ Round Rock Express 3 Logan Watkins had half of the 4 hits the I-Cubs had today. He also stole a base. Donnie Murphy had a double, and Josh Vitters had a single and a walk. That was it. This team S-U-C-K-S to watch and write about. Besides Watkins and Vitters, I'm not sure a single position player …
JOT: Cubs Minor League Recap 7-18-13
Daytona Cubs 3 @ Charlotte Stone Crabs 4 (11 innings) Chadd Krist had the best day, probably, with two singles and two walks. Ben Carhart and Dustin Geiger each added a double; Geiger also had two singles. Pin-Chieh Chen was 2-4 with a triple. That was every hit. Yao-Lin Wang took the bump and was an out away from a QS. He went 5.2 innings …
JOT: Cubs Minor League Recap 7-15-16
I watched the HR derby (well, the first round of it) yesterday. It's so much better on mute. Jupiter Hammerheads 8 @ Daytona Cubs 4 What is the sound of no fans watching? It's really hard to get interested about this team these days now that Baez and Soler are gone. Zeke DeVoss had a nice one, with a home run …
JOT Quick Hits: Cubs Minor League Recap 7-14-13
Albuquerque 5 @ Iowa 1 (18 innings) Both Jake Arrieta and Jeffry Antigua had "starts" in this one. Arrieta allowed 1 in 6, fanning 9. Antigua allowed none in 6, but only struck one out. Offensively, scoring 1 run in 18 innings is clearly not good for the stat line. Ty Wright did go 2-6 with 2 walks, though. Logan Watkins doubled, as did Junior Lake. Jupiter …
JOT: Cubs Minor League Recap 7-1-13
Memphis Redbirds 2 @ Iowa Cubs 4 Iowa scored all 4 of their runs in the bottom of the 8th, so that's really sweet. A pair of RBIs each from Brad Nelson and recent Iowa promotion Anthony Giansanti. Logan Watkins drew a walk, and along with Nelson had the only two walks on the team. Barret Loux went 5 innings and allowed a single run …

Las Vegas 0 @ Iowa Cubs 4 Logan Watkins was good and rested for today's game after getting yesterday off. He hit his 4th home run to lead off the game, and went 2-4 with 2 RBI. Brett Jackson 2: Aftersucks went 1-3 with a walk and a strikeout. Dave Sappelt was 2-3 with a walk and a run. Josh Vitters had a nice …
JOT: Cubs Minor League Recap 5-21-13
Las Vegas 51s 1 @ Iowa Cubs 2 (Game 1, 7 innings) Quiet game. Logan Watkins got a start at 2B and went 1-3 with a CS (his 8th of the year). Brian Bogusevic was scheduled to be called up for 15 seconds yesterday after the Borbon collision, but he seems to be fine. He went 1-3 with a solo shot. Brett Jackson 2: Des …
