if by interesting, you mean depressing... We're getting to keep the team with a sweet looking new arena, we have Giannis, great new uniforms, and yet this feels like the same old bucks.
Burnes started the year in High A, right? He's been great, but this is his first full professional season, let's give him some time to progress before bringing him up.
The org still seems to think that Hader's long-term home is in the rotation, so with Anderson likely being out for a couple of months, give him a shot. Unless they think Woodruff will be back in a couple of weeks.
Espino is a 30 year old minor league journeyman who struggles to break 90 with his fastball. He is in a completely different situation than Hader. If Espino were a young prospect with some velocity and potential, I'd say give him a longer leash, but that's not who he is.
Hader is the future and an 8 inning sample isn't enough to sway me of that. Espino has done nothing so far to indicate he deserves another start, so they may as well go with their #1 pitching prospect. I'd be fine with bringing Wilkerson up for a look too since he's rule 5 eligible after this season.
I'm going to the game on Monday, which was supposed to be Chase's next start and the prospect of seeing Espino isn't very exciting at all. Give Hader a shot.
damn! I missed him last summer in Appleton because he was injured and now he'll be gone by the time I'm able to get up there again! Good for him though, hopefully he can continue to stay healthy and produce.
Well that's a dumb idea. I'll buy from the guys walking around if I don't want to get up, but it's not like they have the most robust selection and sometimes it's a pain to flag them down.
Has anyone ever been there? Worth checking out? I'm debating if I want to pull myself together after a couple of days of partying to see the Timber Rattlers there on July 2. It sounds like it's an absolute relic, which is why they're trying to replace it I guess, but does it have any charm or is it just a total dump? Thanks!
