Pleeeease let this be Triantos figuring out AAA

[Bertz]

His ERA significantly overstates how good he's been, but still feels like Flanagan shouldn't be at Myrtle anymore.

 Just eyeing his swing, but I really feel like there should be some more pop in there. Nothing crazy like 25hr pop, but maybe like 15hr pop would be just fine.

Hodge pitched and the velo was normal.  Gave up a solo dong and K'd two.

I'd assume unlike last time they're going to take their sweet time with the rehab assignment, since I think this is also somewhat doubling as a mechanical cleanup

[Donzo]

Yeah, let Hodge stack his success.

He had a breakdown inning in Iowa last time and was still back with the Cubs soon after that. Then had a breakdown inning with the Cubs.

I was about ready to give up on him. Cool to see.
