“There is a long line of great players including Hall of Famers (Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays) that went 1-for-55 in the big leagues,” Epstein said Tuesday. “We almost expect young guys to come up and struggle. That is part of the growth process. It doesn’t make it any easier to go through, but it is a natural step in the player’s development.”

Volsted saved by the DP. @57

Harrell @ 41.
Again Cubs swing early and often.

[rcleven]

With good D behind him Volsted gets out of the 5th. @ 70.
At least he is not walking people.

OH no. Jackson with a hit. Now 2 for 23.

[rcleven]

Harrell only at 55 thru 5.

[rcleven]

Volsted 5 IP 8 H 4 R 0 BB 3 SO. All earned.

And this game is out of hand.

This game is lost. Harrell is too, too "on". He's so efficient out there that he's not even been made to work up a sweat. [ Note to self: .....remember this is all "audition".]

Have seen this Lendy show before. Now park his ass on the pine and leave him there for the rest of the year.
Not out of the inning w/32 pitches.

Poor Sveum. He has to endure "managing", watching and making sense out of all this shit.

He can claim victory with Jackson getting the hit. And he got to see why he used Camp and Russell so much.

Harrell @ 73.

Bowden only sucked a little.

[cubmig]

Well at least Todd Hollingsworth's singing is "on". But......will his appeal for runs fall on deaf ears?
