Sounds like Wiggins is starting for Iowa with Kipp coming in as a piggybacker.

Woah. Sounds like a great day for me to go to my first Iowa cubs game.

Threw almost 40 pitches to get out of the first. Yikes

That throw was amazing

Unless Wiggins is deliberately going easy the velo is really disappointing. Way too many 94s and 95s

Rough rough debut for Coppola.

I think that 1st simply gassed him.  He was 96.6 in the 1st and hovering just over 95 in the 2nd and 3rd.  I would expect it to take another couple starts before he's back at something resembling full strength.

It was nice that he came back after a laborious first.

Also a great outing from Flanagan.
