Sounds like Davis is moving up to AA. He put on his Instagram yesterday saying “on to the next” Saw on twitter: Looks like Brennen Davis has completed his short rehab stint in South Bend and is headed to Tennessee. Edmond Americaan appears to have been promoted from Myrtle Beach to replace him in South Bend.

Sounds like Davis is moving up to AA. He put on his Instagram yesterday saying “on to the next” Saw on twitter: Looks like Brennen Davis has completed his short rehab stint in South Bend and is headed to Tennessee. Edmond Americaan appears to have been promoted from Myrtle Beach to replace him in South Bend. Fireworks Night in South Bend both figuratively and literally. A season high 18 Hits for the SB Cubs. Before departing, Davis turned his "Nice" South Bend numbers into "Eloy" numbers - Only, on a higher level. .321 / .406 / .607 / 1.013 1st AB: Check swing (Spiked Curveball) Strikeout. Never really timed any pitches. 2nd AB: Zinger past a flinching Pitcher. No camera angle. Camera trained on the Pitcher. But you do see the smoke on the ball as it passes. 3rd AB: Flew out to Right. Easy pop up, with a man on 2nd & 2 Outs. Caught toward the line. 4th AB: Another flare to Right. This one falls. Davis later scores, as the rout begins. 5th AB: Lined into Left Field. After swinging and missing several Breaking Balls throughout the night, Davis lines a 3-2 Bender into Left. In the middle of the game, Davis chased down a long fly and caught it easily, close to the 405' Sign. After reaching back and touching the wall, Davis chugged the ball to 2nd. It made it there on a line, 1 hopping the bag at full speed. So, there's that too. During his final AB, the announcer states that with South Bend leaving their facility for the upcoming road trip, look for Davis to be promoted. I guess it happened within hours of the statement. Davis leaves South Bend after contributing to a 2019 Title, being on the 2020 Alt Site Squad and then, this year's cameo. BTW: Delvin Zinn led off the bottom of the 1st with a warning track gapper and promptly stole 3rd. It was Zinn's league leading 19th SB (23 games) and his 9th of the Homestand. He has yet to be caught stealing this year. Zinn, with a compact "work of art" body, was briefly isolated on the replay. He is a for real runner. Very coordinated with a softly landed head first dive. After struggling all week, Nelson Valazquez Singled and Homered in his final game of the Month. Valazquez enters June slashing .380 / .396 / .580 / .975 With every level hurting for depth, could Valazquez take his talents to Knoxville? You get 4 hits in a game, you make the board. Such is the case with Tyler Durna. Druna (another '19 Champion) went 4-5 with a HR. After an extremely slow start, Durna has raised his average from .114 to .233 in the last 8 games (.414) Catcher Jake Washer, IF Yonathan Perlaza and OF Brandon Hughes made the SB Cubs' Suspension list, following last week's brawl (2 FW Players). Only saw the SB roster. No announcement heard. I guess that's that? Funny quirk: Sunday's game featured the same 2 Starters as last Tuesday's Brawl Ball. Different result for Max Bain however. After giving up 5 in 0.2 IP on Tuesday, Bain surrendered just 3 hits on Sunday, to the same lineup. That's Baseball.

Shelby Miller and Jason Adam were not claimed and both were released by the Cubs I believe that once we DFA'd S. Miller (and say... they wanted him to stay in the organization but were strapped by the 40 man numbers), the quickest way to get him back on the mound was to expose him to waivers (gambling that no one would claim him and pay him the balance on his Cubs' contract), release him (ASAP), pay him (however they have to) and then, re-sign him to a new minimal (or negotiated) MiLB contract (if he were to be agreeable to such a scenario). T. Miller? That's different. We're probably seeking a legitimate trade there. And... ICYMI: The Brailyn Marquez countdown is rumored to be on. Looks like we're within 2 weeks and perhaps, just 1. Maybe he'll make a South Bend cameo also. Being there the last 2 years, he's quite familiar with the place. SB (right by Chicago and with a legitimate training facility) returns home on Tues, Jun 8th. The Iowa Cubs Pitching Staff has lost Jason Adam, Brad Weick, Tommy Nance, Shelby Miller, Kohl Stewart & Tyson Miller. Plus, Justin Steele, Pedro Strop & Keegan Thompson (Alt Site). Some's Gotta Give.

Both Heyward (0-2) and Marisnick (1-3 / 2B) started for Iowa tonight. Marisnik batted 2nd. Heyward 3rd Marisnick lined a Double down the line in the 1st. He was stranded when Heyward swung and missed a Ball 4 Changeup and Trace Thompson froze on another. 2nd Inning - Heyward makes an inning ending diving catch, coming in - toward 2nd. Marisnick grounded sharply in his 2nd AB. Marisnick lined fouls each way before striking out on a 3-2 Changeup. Mills goes 6 IP - 60 Pitches / 2 H / 0 R (3rd Rehab Start). Mills was dominant. Retired first 11 - Ripped by Ump on hitter #12 (BB). Always ahead. 55 mph Curve wasn't hit. Leadoff 2B (legit) in the 5th. Stranded. Both hits allowed were to Alcides Escobar (14 for his last 21). Mills escapes 1st & 2nd jam (error) in the 6th. 1-4-3 DP on a big Curve - Foul Pop up Curve. 8 Pitch 6th, after a 7 pitch 5th. Left with the scored tied 0-0. The Cubs faced Jackson Kowar. A 1st Rd (1C #33) pick in the 2018 Draft, Kowar is (5-0) and his ERA is now 0.85 The "AAA-E" Pitcher of the Month. 1st Place Opponent. So, the game was "for real". Heyward's 4th inning walk was Kowar's only other runner allowed (Marisnick). 4 Combined Baserunners through the first 5 Innings. 15.2 Consecutive Scoreless IP for Kowar. Both Marisnick and Heyward left the game after their 3rd PA. Heyward shattered his bat on a comebacker, in his final AB. Fun facts: 3 MLB All Stars in the game. 9 game winning and 9 game losing streaks snapped. Longest winning streak in Storm Chaser history is 10. Scoreless tie broke up when Dee Strange Gordon bunts after Andrew Romine Doubled, Oppo, down the LF line. Bunt Single. Error on throw gets Gordon to 2nd. Probably out (Super close) if throw (fielded barehanded) was perfect. Gordon then beats the ball to 3rd on a FC. Gordon scores on a drawn-in Single.

Anybody hear or read anything on Marquez lately? I know he was delayed in ST due to Covid protocols, but we're 2 months into a season and he hasn't thrown a single minor league pitch this year to my knowledge. I thought I had read in early May that he would be coming back soon, but nothing yet. Everything I've read keeps saying soon, soon, but it has yet to come. Just seems kind of consistently behind schedule to the point you can't help but wonder if something is up. I had hopes of maybe him bolstering the rotation or pen at the end of the season but have no idea what to expect of him at this point.

The latest update is he is still working his way back from COVID-19 and this was a couple days ago. Sounds like he is struggling to rebuild strength from getting COVID a while back.

Heyward's HR was a 430 Fly to Center. His Single was an absolute rocket into the corner that the RF made a nice play to hold it to 1.
The suspended game restart was delayed 2 more times after the restart. Davis crushed 2 liners for his 2 hits, but he didn't play in the 2nd game. The 2nd game had a total of 4 hits. 2 by each side. Sidenote: There are serious clouds and heavy downpours in Birmingham.
After walking 5 & allowing 3 Runs w/o recording an out on May 13th (22 Pitches / 2 Strikes)... Burl Carraway (Win) has struck out 13 in his last 6.2 IP (0 Runs)
I'm checking out DJ Herz (Pelicans) right now. No Hitter through 4 (9 K). 16 IP / 29 K / 3 H Pulled after 4. 66 Pitches / 41 Strikes Announcer says when Herz pitches, they call it "Herzday".
Both teams get their 1st hit in the 5th. Rain starts with 2 outs in the bottom of the 5th. Insane rain in the 6th. Game suspended in the top of the 6th {Man on 2nd (SB in the pouring rain) - 2 out}.

MILB gameday says that Iowa/Omaha is starting at 12:05. Wrong 7:05. I assume the lineups are wrong also.
