Pitching is ugly for the ACL team, but Rojas/Sanchez/Paciolla/Lubo and co should be fun to follow.  Wish these games were televised. I’ve gotten spoiled.

Rich Biesterfeld over at North Side Bound has an ACL Cubs preview: https://northsidebound.com/2023/06/05/acl-affiliate-preview-will-it-be-the-summer-of-rojas-and-sanchez/

He includes what he expects is the tentative opening day roster and starting rotation.

DSL Cubs Red lost in 10. Ludwing Espinoza went 2/5 with 2 RBI and 2 K. Angel Cepeda went 1/4 with an RBI, 2 BBs and a K (the hit was a double).

Mason McGwire gets the OD start.

K, BB, K, groundout in his pro debut.

Don't look up how things went for McGwire in the 2nd

Seriously it's bad

Yikes, the pitching isn't going so great for the ACL Cubs.

They were down 21-3 at the time so it might not have been injury related but Jefferson Rojas was PH for in the bottom of the 8th.
