The Birdsell/Wiggins AAA/AA combo. Doesn't get much better than that.

Could also be their last games as Cubs- 🤕

Kipp started for Tennessee- interesting if Wiggins was pulled because of trade discussion?!?

Wiggins not starting is interesting. Not alarming, but interesting. Could just be a reshuffle. But interesting.

Moises' single a few innings ago at 112.3 MPH is the hardest hit ball he's had since he got to AAA.  And given his age I'd presume his hardest hit ball of his life (in game of course).

Sounds like nothing.
