Yeah, that's probably pretty high on his list of worst games ever...

Alcantara is about 200 OPS points below his Iowa showing of 2014.

Really dramatic difference.

Guessing combination of loss of confidence and scouting based on what troubled him in majors last year. Never a big fan of Alcantara but his falloff is very disappointing.

Brian Schlitter cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Iowa.

Don't get too excited.

Gleyber Torres and Jeffrey Baez both have been moved up to Myrtle Beach. The Pelicans will be in the playoffs.

De La Cruz: 6-3-1-1-0-4..

His WHIP is now an even 1.0.  No red flags on him.  Size is good, age is good, control is good, K-stuff is good, projection is good, current stuff/velocity is good.

C.J Edwards activated from Iowa DL.

Think Iowa has 5 games left in season, so figures to get some Iowa action. Presumably, Cubs will then decide about a September call-up, or not.

I went to the Pelicans game tonight.  Not much to report on offense.  Torres is smaller than I thought.  He looked pretty good on defense.  Second batter of the game for the Nationals he caught a line drive and he was able to double off the runner at first with a good throw. 

Zagunis looked ok.  Hit a couple of balls hard including a rocket for his one hit.  I wasn't very impressed with Jeffrey Baez.  Only one game but he struck out badly and then hit into an easy double play.  I don't know if my eyes deceived me but it really looks like he is a little overweight for a CFer.  Dunston Jr. didn't look very good either against the lefty.  Chesny Young got a leadoff single on a grounder through the middle and didn't do anything else. 

Underwood looked pretty good and I can definitely see him being a major league pitcher. Got in some trouble when he walked the leadoff hitter, gave up a hit, and then hit a batter that was trying to bunt.  Gave up a sac fly and nothing else.  No gun in the stadium but I would guess somewhere between 90-95 on the fastball and seemed to have the makings of some good offspeed stuff.

I went with my son and unfortunately we got there a little late so we didn't get too many autographs sitting on the Cubs side.  Got a couple of the relivers.  David Berg is the nicest player I have ever met.  Came up to us and signed my son's hat.  He introduced himself as David and shook my hand.  Asked us how us Cubs fans came to be all the way there.  Just a really polite kid.  I'll be rooting hard for him to make it. 

The only other player that really stood out is Jeremy Null.  That guy is HUGE.  He's every bit the 6'7 he is listed and is a massive human being.  I'm not sure what kind of stuff he has but he looks the part of a pitcher.

Thanks for the great report, PRCubFan!  Cool stuff about Berg and the other young guys.  Don't give up on Jeffrey Baez...he may need to lose a few lbs, but he can still really scoot!  He's got some pop and a plus arm, too.  Interesting young player who will be worth following.
