I have a good feeling about him and Little.

Same here. Hoping a few of the 2016-17 picks are fast risers.

[funkster]

Thinking they will be.  Seems like Lange could be here as soon as next year.

Little was knocked around for the 2nd consecutive start last night (1.2 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 1 BB and only 1 K) and reports were that his stuff looked very mediocre.


Hoping he's just running out of gas after a long season.

Hatch with another decent outing - 5 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 SO


Lange with another good outing. Must be on a pitch count - 3 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 SO

Anyone have access to BA's recent write up on the Cubs' pitching development?

 

 

Btw, Maples in Iowa: 12.1 IP, 21Ks, 5 walks.

Will Maples be counted on for this post season run?

Well, this sucks.

Little got lit up again and only last 2/3 of an inning.

[rok]

Prior to tonight's start he's earned a 9.31 ERA vs RH's and 3.00 vs. LH's. He's been a nightmare with runners on base: 20.77 ERA overall and 135.00 with RISP. Hoping he's just tapped out after a long season.

[funkster]

It's literally his first month in pro ball. I would not concern myself all that much with it.

[rok]

Yeah, and like I said, probably just running on fumes after a long season. He's only pitched 13.1 innings, so no reason to freak out.

[1984]

Yes, he's only had a little experience.

 

 

hahaha....
