McNutt turned in another solid outing as the Chiefs beat the Great Lakes Loons 5-1 on Greg Maddux Night, when the Chiefs retired Maddux's No. 31.
But there was no pressure for McNutt, an Alabama native who grew up an Atlanta Braves fan and has been able to talk with the future Hall of Famer the past three days as part of Maddux's new role in the Chicago Cubs organization.
"Just executing your pitches and not having to throw hard," McNutt said of some of the advice Maddux has offered. "It's more the quality of the pitch than the quantity. And, staying focused and keeping the pitches low by throwing at the knees."
...
While Maddux was not known as a hard thrower, McNutt does hit the mid-90s.
I bet just about every coach McNutt has ever had preached that same philosophy.

Somehow, I expect advice from a future first-ballot Hall of Famer gets taken more seriously than advice from a high school coach.

Jackson had a no-hitter through 6-1/3 before things fell apart. Grabow still sucks.

Not only Nitro Nic Jackson but also Ray "Bananas" Sadler are playing in the Fargo-Schaumberg game tonight! Randall Simon isn't back with Fargo this year, although Alan Rick is back for his 3rd or 4th year.

Vitters has turned the corner a little bit. He's back up to .223, and has ripped out 5 singles in his last five games. Not much by normal standards, but it's progress in the anti-awful direction.
He might turn out to be Theriot without the defense, walks, and modest base stealing ability.

Big Bour is hitting around .300 and has a nifty 29 BB/34 K ratio. With <17% K rate, he's one of the most disciplined contact hitters in the system.
For a 6'4" 250 pound dude, with contact/discipline numbers like that, you'd think he could be a force if he hit the ball over the wall. But in his first 400+ pro AB, he had only 6 HR's. But with his HR's tonight and yesterday he's hit 3 in the last five games. If he could hit HR's with those kind of BB/K's, he could be pretty interesting.
Turned 22 a couple weeks ago, so he's not young but he's not too old to watch. If he were to start A+ next year at 22 and AA at 23, that wouldn't be fossily.
I assume he probably runs like a Soto. I wonder if he field well enough to be mediocre, or is more Jake Fox. Anybody know?
