z.rosscup (AA) 3ip 2h 0bb 8k over 2

CRUNCH: The Iowa Cubs have no lefties in their bullpen, so don't be surprised if Rosscup gets moved up sooner rather than later.

Also, LHRP Hunter Cervenka (acquired from Boston in the Marlon Byrd deal last season, but sidetracked during Minor League Camp with a forearm strain) was throwing 93-94 MPH yesterday at Talking Stick, so he should be about ready to leave Arizona and move up to AA Tennessee (especially if Rosscup gets promoted to Iowa). 

1ip 0h 1bb 0k is over. send him down to A ball.

Is Soler allowed to take part in drills and such?

BOB R: Yes.

Are they letting him lead the Charge the Opponents Dugout With a Bat drill? He seems to have some natural talent for that.

A-rod's in trouble

Investigators for Major League Baseball have uncovered what they believe is evidence that a representative of Alex Rodriguez purchased medical records from a person connected to a South Florida anti-aging clinic that is suspected of providing performance-enhancing drugs to a number of major leaguers, according to two people briefed on the matter.

Still a HOFer. #pinstripes #hypocrisy

"According to Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports, Carlos Quentin will be suspended eight games for charging the mound against Zack Greinke on Thursday night."

what a crock of shi...

richie sexson got 6 games for charging the mound and throwing his helmet at the pitcher...youk got 5 games charging porcello and throwing his helmet at him. maybe if quentin threw his helmet he would have gotten 2-3 less games suspended.

hell, juan marichal got 8 games for going after roseboro with a f'n bat.

blake dewitt getting his 1st AB as a brave...2 on (1st/2nd), 0 out, top 9th, down by 2.

lulz...they have him sac bunt.

The day before yesterday I was pretty annoyed with Castro's at bat against Romo. Yesterday, it was almost like he was talking to himself while facing Romo again, saying, "oh no you don't - not again" as Romo led off trying to get him fishing again on the lower outside of the plate. I was listening to the SF guys because I enjoy them and I was surprised Krukow didn't mention the change in Castro's approach - they were more concerned with the seagulls - but that at bat was very heartening. Once Romo got behind in the count, Krukow thought Romo would have to challenge him and he did, and Castro hit it pretty good - luckily Pagan really hates that wall.

Fukikawa on 15 day disabled list? Those James Russell for closer rumors will really heat up now.
