Soroka is supposed to pitch today for Iowa. Hopefully it goes well. A healthy Soroka would be big for the Cubs.

[Donzo]

Soroka in the 5th inning.

Clean inning with 2Ks. 4-seamer hitting 95mph+.

[Donzo]

1st batter in the 6th hits a HR- 🙃

Two outs now. 4-seamer just hit 96.6MPH.

Three outs. We'll see if he pitches the 7th.

Gave up the HR to Jack Suwinsky, so he’s ready for the big league team.

That and the 96.6mph fastball.

He's pitching the 7th.

[Donzo]

Gets his 3rd K and is out after 2.1 inning.

If he's in the pen they can bring him up.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

38 pitches

Who goes down for Soroka- Hodge/Brown/ Assad?

I'm gonna guess Brown. Let him get a couple starts in Iowa to end the season.

[Donzo]

Iowa wins. Cassies/Long with 2-hits.

[Donzo]

Pelicans may be down to their last inning of the season.

Assad if they want to keep him stretched out. 

But if Brown goes down, I'd try to keep him as a 1 inning guy and see if he looks like a weapon (he looked good on Tuesday).

Lumpuy and Halbach blew a perfect opportunity to tie it last inning.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Myrtle Beach lost 2-1 and their season is over.

[Donzo]

Yep, Mathis couldn't be a hero.

[Donzo]

Should get Wiggins tomorrow.

Yeah I suspect Assad will go to Iowa to stay stretched out.  We're at a month since Brown has gone more than 3 innings.  Soroka is obviously not stretched out.  Ditto Wicks.  Someone has to be ready in case god forbid a SP goes down late here.
