Mommy's Cocktail Hour


Episode 5.06 - “Jarlos Samarmol”

April 30, 2013

We are a little over a month away from Episode #200 and we’re inviting you to celebrate with us. Details can be found at http://ivyenvy.com/200. RSVP on our Facebook event or email corey@ivyenvy.com if you are planning on coming or would like more information.


On this episode, we talk about the unexpected rise of Kevin Gregg. In six appearances, Gregg has a 0.00 ERA and 4 saves. I think you’ll notice that we’re not quite sure how to process this situation.


We catch up on Ian Stewart and his progress in his rehab stint in Iowa. He’s batting .100 with 4 errors in 12 games. The Cubs have added Cody Ransom at 3rd base and after a few games, he is playing well enough that he and Valbuena might be enough to keep Stewart away from the Cubs forever.


Jorge Soler is benched for not hustling by the Daytona manager. We talk about this discipline and consider the Soler red flags.


We then dive into a discussion that a lot of fans of bad teams probably have. Should we find solace in the losses knowing that it ensures a better draft pick?


We answer a few listener submitted questions, Kurt gives us the Scary Stat of the Week and we pick a winner for this week’s photo caption contest.
