Brandon Birdsell through 5 shutout under 70 pitches.  He probably gets a 6th and has an outside shot st a 7th inning

Owen Caissie with a triple, this hot streak feels like him smelling a shot at that September callup

Birdsell: 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K, 1 HBP on 87 pitches.

AAA ERA down to 3.56.

I wonder when the last time a legit prospect for the Cubs stole 50 bases, because Triantos is definitely getting there

That’s a fun top four:

Attempting the AJ Burnett no hitter is a bold move given current minor league pitch limits

5 shutout with H, 10 Ks, no BBs for Rocker

Yamamoto just threw a couple, first rehab star 

Saw multiple folks on Twitter who saw Rocker tonight and said he was electric and filthy.

So glad he's healthy (and not in the NL).
