There was no jump. Fuld, Struck out, Castro up and just drew a walk

some say
he’ll have two.

No
Just like to hear kids willing to walk. I liked to hear Gracey rip a double as well. Or Sosa take the count to 2-0 then go to right center. Or Fonzie get a fastball, thigh high, inner-half.
Makes sense to me!
Was just curious on the reaction.

Maybe Lou is telling us something
"A waist is a terrible thing to mind." - Terry 'Fat Tub of Goo' Forster
@Twitter as @brommmietze
Actually, Lou was telling Bruce Levine something...
Heard on espn radio this morning that Lou was going with an all B team lineup today to give coaching staff a chance to see them all play in the field and get multiple at-bats. This kind of game experience will help Lou figure out who he wants on his bench for regular season.
Almost sounded like a somewhat distorted game of musical chairs.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
Who enforces that rule?
Or is it more of a ‘if people complain, we’ll look into it’ type of thing?
Follow me on Twitter: @brandonrifkin
Where can we find a starting lineup for today's game?

Greetings
Rarely post on here, but going to try to be a productive member of the BCB community today. I love the way the kids are playing. This is the most optimistic I’ve been about the state of the team in a long time – despite the questions about the rotation and bullpen.
It's nice to have more than one prospect to focus on
That way the weight of the world can evenly be spread out over 3-5 19-23 year old kids!
Welcome John!

OT: Anyone going to fork over 40 grand for Cubs season tickets???
Auction is on cubs.com for season tickets in your name for CBOE seats w/ postseason rights
A-well-a Byrd, Byrd, Byrd, well the Byrd is the word.
just a sec
lemme check my pockets…
nope!

Not a bad price if it's a full season
Those seats regularly go for 500-1000 for premium games (which is awesome because I paid $75 each for 4 the year they put them in for a Brewers game… so close I could grab the dip in Sarge’s back pocket) and will easily go for $5,000+ if it’s a playoff game. You’ll easily make $40k back, maybe even $50-$60k.
...and Silva's ERA plummets
to 10.80 for the spring.

Should be Chirinos, Silva(?), Fuld - Padres moving people around, Stauffer still pitching

This was a great outing for CSil
Hopefully this builds some confidence for when he faces major league hitters next time

Need to nickname him
CSI – everytime he pitches, its a crime scene.

Well he (and fuld) kept them scoreless through 4.
Improvement from being the fail whale?
Kamp ground ball. Force out at second. Kamp at first. Fuld at bat now
