I’d temper that enthusiasm a little. Not a whole lot of proven major league hitters there. 

I rarely make a positive post 

I’ll temper my enthusiasm next year during game threads 

[willie key]

Tonight would have been a lot better night to use Mejia 

[duewizard]

Canha and Santana are the only guys with no hits today :/

We'll see. How many times have we seen guys start out great and then drift away. But Sal does look like a guy who belongs. I'm hopeful, as always.

He easily has the best mechanics and approach that I have seen in a long time from the farm.

If the broadcast booth is the thing you need to give validity to something, you're in trouble.

[Jastro]

SAL!!!!

[RobertCrawley]

SALVATORE!!!

[duewizard]

SAAALLL AGAINN!

[Brewcrew82]

Doesn't Sal know he's not supposed to have power?

Interesting move with Peguero here...Chafin and/or Uribe must have passed him up in the pecking order.

If so - we have a pretty awesome bullpen 

[ClosetBrewerFan]

There is your cleanup hitter.  I'm a believer

[Simba2020]

They better be looking to get that guy locked up long-term ASAP.

[HarveysWBs]

So, can we just schedule some more Rockies series, or what?  That’s a thing, right?

[Harold Hutchison]

And Canha with a hit...

2024 is going to be fun baseball to watch again!

Frelick, Yelich, Contreras, Turang + Mitchell, Black, Chourio - that will be enjoyable offense 

I sure hope so. 

[edfunderburk]

Sal is the most exciting hitter to come through the minors since - Braun?

[Bulldogboy]

The twisting yourself into a pretzel explanation of why Frelick needs to eased into the lineup is still wild to me. Dude is best young hitting prospect since Braun and he is watching Wiemer the other night.

[markedman5]

I’m sold on Mr Frelick

ok, lets save some runs for tomorrow now.

I wish it worked like that.

[Harold Hutchison]

Real Men pitch to Sal Frelick... just as Real Men kick to Devin Hester.

2019 Keston Hiura. Thankfully, their ability to make contact is night and day.

He should never be sitting for anybody. Completely neutral splits in the minors so no reason for it whatsoever.

[RobertCrawley]

Dang it feels good to win.

Braun or Molitor.  He is that exciting and as fundamentally sound as both of them were.  Sky is the limit.  

[markedman5]

So it appears we are tough to beat when Sal and Turang both homer
