Came in out if shape this year and now behind this year. I doubt we will at this point, he was actually in good shape and ready to roll before spring training before he got COVID. Just getting him back and rolling in AA and eventually AAA would be good progress this year.

In the Iowa game, with 2 outs & nobody on in a relatively close game, Omaha's Pitcher decided to hit Patrick Wisdom. Wisdom had homered in his first AB. It was his first hit this year. I guess the Pitcher took exception. When Wisdom came to the plate, he shuffled his feet in anticipation of the first pitch. Sure enough, the pitch came high and hard, right at his head. Full bore. Wisdom ducked and sprawled, but the ball grazed his helmet. The Pitcher (6'6" - 235) came forward to see if Wisdom would charge, but the charge never came. Instead, Wisdom dusted himself & took his base, grinning. Umps gathered and issued warnings, but the Pitcher should have been ejected. Right at his head? Even the batter knew it was coming. Manager Marty Peavy ejected for questioning the warning to his bench. Of course Peavy is "Mr Ejection". At Iowa, the ejected Manager has to traverse past the Outfield to reach the Club House. It was a long stroll. Every Peavy ejection is a record breaking toss. The next hitter hit what seemed to be an inning ending grounder, but the ump ruled Wisdom safe at 2nd, on the FC. Problem was, nobody was covering 3rd. So Wisdom took off and made it. A Lol moment, as the fielder was like "WTF?" to the Ump. The next hitter walks and then, Jose Lobaton hits a towering shot to Center. Grand Slam. And the rout was on. Pretty funny, seeing the CF stumbling and bumbling and then looking up from his knees, as the ball sails 60 feet over his head. And it all started because the Pitcher "had to throw at his head". In his next AB, Wisdom hits what might be the greatest HR of the Season. An absolute Moon Shot that was way, way gone. No Statcast, but it appeared to be in the 450' range. Had to feel good, rounding those bases. Lol... Only 34 more games left with the Storm Chasers (Omaha, 2 hrs from Des Moines) to settle this thing out. Iowa Team ERAOmeter: 2.82 Omaha BTW, leads the League in most offensive categories.Kohl Stewart: 3 Gm / 1-1 / 16 IP - 17 K / 3.38 ERA / 0.94 WHIP (his achilles) / .186 BAA Shelby Miller on the mound tonight.

Open dislocation ankle for Adam. Brutal!!
His season is over no doubt you just got to hope it does not ruin the rest of his career or alter his way of living.
Best wishes for Jason Adam.

Listening while sleeping after coming home from work. The Iowa announcers said Brennan Davis has been assigned to South Bend.
Sure enough, he has been added to the roster. South Bend plays at 7:05 - Four Winds Field.

Iowa played with 22 men on the active roster. With the promotions to the Cubs, DFA's & trades, Iowa is short handed by 6 players. Changes must be coming. Poor David Sampson. Gave up 4 HR in the 9th, including B2B2B with 2 outs. A couple of real boomers too. The look in his eyes. They finally replaced him and Meisinger (5 gm / 5.1 IP - 10 K / 1.69 ERA) got the last out. Previously, Patrick Widsom had broken the game open with a Grand Slam. Iowa's 2nd GS in 2 days. Wisdom's 3rd HR & 9th RBI in 2 days. LOL .167 BA / 1.051 OPS Wisdom's first 3 Hits with the iCubs are all homers. Kris Bryant's first 5 iCub hits were homers. SS, Sergio Alcantara led off the bottom of the 1st with a no doubter. His 5th (.474 OBP / .951 OPS) 2 more hits for Catcher, Taylor Gushue. (.341 BA / .400 OBP / .945 OPS) Miller was throwing 93-95 mph. Iowa (9-5), 1/2 game out of 1st (Indy). With the 4 HR's and 5 Runs in the 9th, Iowa's pretty little Team ERA took a hit (3.12) 3rd Best in AAA East.
