Salazar hit the bomb, and the guy sitting in front of me was screaming “Smiley!” at the top of his lungs…and it occurred to me that every time Salazar was in the box facing the mound, his teeth were showing, as if he was smiling at the pitcher…

He’s been Smiley to me ever since…

I remember Luis Salazar getting a hit to bring Andre Dawson home with the winning run in extra innings right after we got him for the stretch run in 1989:

David Bote.  Does anyone have that clip of Bote reacting to a play by Russell?

Burdi 1-2-3 inning facing 3 lefties.  Seems like he might be a groundball guy on BIP.

I don't know if the gun at Sloan is hot, but Wesneski was just clocked at 97 here in the second. He's looking good in general yet again. Three Ks, one hit, no walks through two frames.

Took a good play, but somehow they got Mastrobuoni out.

Assad struggling today.  Too much talk about his making the ML roster?

Occam's Razor.  He's a pitcher.

Assad got 10 swing and misses today on 54 pitches. Topped out at 96 on a pitch. Of 5 hits he allowed, two were bunt singles.

If that is considered “struggling,” then we’re in pretty good shape on the pitching side.

Will be interesting to see if Cubs send Assad to Iowa to work as a starter or stays opening day as a reliever.

Seems like Leiter Jr. has very good chance to make the club. Leiter’s hard sinker lately looks like it did 2nd half of last season, that is, really good. If Assad AND Leiter make the club, two guys from from Wick, Thompson, Rucker, Hughes won’t—because Fullmer, Boxberger, Alzolay, Merryweather all seem like locks.

Maybe Canario goes to 60-day to make room for Leiter?

Or, maybe Cubs do some other thing(s). Will be interesting.
