Cubs pitching getting absolutely LIT UP by the Reds today. 15-6 so far. Boy I hope the Cubs end up the third best team in that division.

Hoo, boy. I'm not sure I'm prepared to start fantasizing about what Acuña could be. 

Rich man's Leury Garcia would be fine.

I’ve never heard that term before and I’ve decided I don’t like it.

I love it!

Cannon in for his 3rd inning and promptly gives up a HR to tie it at 5.

After the endless mocking of Getz  for referring to Acuna as a switch hitter, that trade  might end up being one of the best moves he has made.  Some fans thought the Sox should never have re-signed Luis Robert, but Getz got that contract covered plus Acuna, who could end up as an excellent player.

Cannon's perfect 3IP last time out was with a very 4-seam heavy mix.

He got hit a little in his first inning tonight tinkering with his other offerings (only threw 2 4S), although one hit was an unlucky grounder that clipped off his foot into LF.

Went back to throwing more 4S for a clean second inning, then gave up a solo shot on a high one to lead off his third inning.

His changeup had been effective in his previous outings, but he didn't throw any until his final few pitches today.

Statcast is having a hard time distinguishing his slider and sweeper live, curious to see what his pitch mix ends up looking like once that's corrected.

Dru Harris continues to impress when given opportunities...

And then that happened.

Maybe trying too hard.

James Fox was saying something like that on last week's FutureSox podcast. WST may have dropped the ball by not taking Acuña's prospect seriously, and pretending it was only a salary dump. They'd wanted Acuña for over a year.
