8 K's in 7 games for Kris Bryant at Boise.

Epstink is terrible?

Weren't five of them in one game though? 3 in the other six isn't that bad?

If you don't count the games he doesn't strike out in, he never strikes out!

Edit: The more pertinent response is...

DRLP.

Put it there for the Kris Bryant line.  Five at bats, five KO.

Correct.  He doubled and walked yesterday and his average is creeping up.

Zastryzny is pitching decent, too.

Can the MLB roster just play in Iowa and we have a rotating display of the minor league teams at Wrigley?

Isn't that what they've been doing?

This is like the '80s all over again when prospects couldn't get here fast enough: Joe Carter, Mel Hall, Shawon Dunston, Drew Hall, Jamie Moyer, Rafael Palmeiro, Greg Maddux, Lester Lancaster, Damon Berryhill, Mark Grace, Joe Girardi, Dwight Smith, Jerome Walton....

Correct.  He doubled and walked yesterday and his average is creeping up.

Zastryzny is pitching decent, too.

At some point, he has to get a start where they leave him in past the 2nd inning though.

Or maybe it's that he's already pitched a complete college season (90.2 IP) for Missouri?  Yeah, probably that.

By the way, he was 2-9 (Epstink is terrible) in 2013 at Mizzou.  82 K/24 BB, 3.38 ERA in Missouri's first season in the SEC.

A little wrong-righting can double that.

Cubs called up Jake Arrieta.  He'll pitch in the doubleheader.  Not really a "prospect" anymore, but at least we'll get to see what he's got.
