According to South Bend broadcaster Brendan King, Tyler Schlaffer throwing 100 pitches today was just the 4th time that has ever been done since the franchise became a Cubs affiliate. There’s now been two 100+ pitch performances in the last 2 weeks after having zero the last 4 years.

Another ABSURD outing from Tyler Schlaffer this afternoon as he strikes out 10 over 7 one-hit innings and 100 pitches. His last 5 starts for South Bend: 34 IP, 12 H, 2 ER, 12 BB, 35 K

Lots of new broadcast voices in the system this year but I’ve gotta say, when you turn on a Cubs affiliate, you still get an absolute master class everywhere you look.

Outside of the extraordinarily young Triple-A lineup, the Cubs have only 2 prospects that are more than a year younger than the average hitter at their respective level: Pedro Ramirez (21.2 years old in AA) Jefferson Rojas (20.1 years old in A+)

Why did Nolan Arenado watch the ball go by him and then just stand there instead of covering third base? Good baserunning by Kyle Tucker to take the extra bag.

Given how strong the Chicago bullpen has been, I’m perfectly fine with the Cubs committing to Ben Brown’s development as a starter for now. Maybe he can unlock something in Iowa. There’s always time later this year for him to be used as a reliever of the need is there.

James Triantos is back in the Iowa lineup tonight. He spent last week with South Bend on rehab assignment.

The Cubs have released pitching prospect Joe Nahas. Nahas was signed as an undrafted free agent back in 2019 and worked his way up the ladder to Double-A in 2021, 2023, and 2024. He had a 4.52 ERA in his Cubs minor league career.

South Bend batting Carter Trice, James Triantos, Jefferson Rojas, and Cristian Hernández atop the order tonight — a super intriguing group of prospects with really good bats. Should probably do a podcast about them, huh?
