Thursday Means Camp Day
Thursday was "Circus Day" on The Mickey Mouse Club, but Thursdays are "Camp Day" for the Cubs Arizona Instructional League team.
While some of you might think "Camp Day" is a day where the coaches take the Cubs players on a trip to the zoo or to the local water park, that's not exactly what it is.
Actually, "Camp Day" is a day where the team has a three-hour morning work-out with instruction followed by a four-inning intra-squad game.
There are no professional umpires hired for the intrasquad games, so the game is umpired by one of the Cubs coaches. Also, innings can be extended beyond three outs if a pitcher needs to throw more pitches, or (conversely) an inning can be terminated early (before there are three outs) if the pitcher has reached his pitch limit for that inning (usually a maximum of 15-20 pitches per-inning).
