Been more excited about Rojas lately but saw this tweet from Zumach this morning. Nice to see. Hernandez is still so young.

Wonder why the skip for Wicks?  I assume it's more of the Cubs being uber cautious with arms, but I guess you just don't know.

 

EDIT: Sounds like Birch thinks the same based on comments.

Rojas homered again.

 

PCA has a pair of walks 

 

Kipp and Birdsell just keep cruising in pretty much each start

[Jason Ross]

Caissie 1-2, double, walk, no K so far.  Lowes his K% under 28% for the month of July.

Shaw and Rivera go back to back. Well that’s fun.
