Lovich not starting the rare ACL Cubs game that is livestreamed stinks.

19-year old Darian Rivero got the start and was working 90-92: 3 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 1 K

Jack Neely appears to have gotten over his early season bout of wildness.  Over the last two weeks:

6.2 IP, 2 ER, 2 BB, 12 K

Not screaming "I'm ready for another shot" quite as loudly as Luke Little, but hopefully another couple weeks and he'll be right there
