AZPhil! Hope all is well!

What's the deal with Joel Machado? Did he have TJ back in 2019 or did the Cubs just hold him back? At least he was stateside, could see him as one of the ACL clubs' better pitchers hopefully

KKvG: LHP Joel Machado was a high-profile J-2 16-year old signed by the Cubs out of Venezuela in July 2018.

He arrived at EXST in Mesa in 2019 and was not very impressive, displaying a BP-type 83-86 MPH FB and a hanging CV. He did not pitch in the DSL or in the AZL in 2019, although I don't know if that was because of his stuff or an injury.

He was at AZ Instructs post-2020 but did not pitch in any games. I would presume he was probably metriculating in the Pitch Lab. 

He was not at Minor League Camp in April, but I have seen him throw to hitters three times so far at EXST, an intrasquad "sim" game and two Cactus League EXST games. He was hit hard in the "sim" game and in the first Cactus League EXST game last week vs AZ, but he was much better yesterday vs COL.

    Folks, I've known Richard Lovelady since he was an 18 yr old Freshman at East Ga State College in Swainsboro, Ga.

    I was the WBB Coach at EGSC and Richard was their prize recruit from outside of Hinesville, Ga.

    My roommate was the Pitching Coach there.

    Richard showed up a skinny, loose lipped, 83mph Lefty. Pretty good basketball player actually. 

    My roommate became the head coach.

    Richard came back from a minor injury for his Sophmore year a more serious man. He hit 90mph and started mowing GA JUCO hitters down. It was really fun to watch.

    He was the first D1 signee for EGSC baseball (school had only had athletics for five yrs at that point). He went to Kennesaw St and became their closer. One yr later, he hit 100mph and KC drafted him in the 10th Rd. 

    He lost the high velo with a surgery a while back.

    It's so cool to see him in MLB. And now he's a Cub!! It's crazy to realize I actually "know" a Cub.

    He's a legit good guy.

    Easy to root for!!!

    Tim. Thanks for remembering Lee Elia Day. It will always be one of the most epic rants in all sports.  It took about 3 seconds to recognize him from your picture but I  did get it right. 

    Now that Les Grobstein is no longer with us, that might contribute to this grand piece of Cubbery fading.

    Just like fine wine, it should be savored...unedited. 40 years, wow.
