Tale of Two Javys

Five innings were enough tonight.

At one point the I-Cubs trailed 5-0 and the Vice-Cardinals from Memphis had all of one hit, that being a single. Rarely is so much made from so little. When Carlos Pimento was excused from further duty he'd thrown 80 pitches in three innings, only 35 of them strikes. I think he walked eight.

But he was also the victim of some shoddy defense, perhaps because his glovemen were drowsy. In the tedious top of the 3rd errors were committed at both corners of the infield by the soon to be recalled Javy Baez at the not so hot corner and displaced/misplaced Christian Villanueva at 1B.
