I miss Collins and Durbin every game. I also realize Durbin is struggling on Boston. Maybe he just played better here with a different culture.

I forgot we had Vaughn available. Almost wish we would have used him instead of Rengifo with two on and 1 out earlier, but I guess this works

Fair…. But we’re about going to be approaching the 1/3 of the way mark. It would be nice to give the kids a shot and chance to get established before we go bargain hunting in late July.. plus, every win we get now puts us in a better position for the playoff stretch run.

Agreed. That trio needs to go. If we’re 15 games under .500 and the kids aren’t ready I understand. actually, I don’t. In a winning franchise, washed vets don’t get repeated chances. Let the young guys play

Where did I call him worthless? Relax. just saying, we are three years in from acquiring him as the headliner for an elite player and he hasn’t played meaningful baseball for us. at 26 and still rehabbing, maybe he’s got time yet to still be a solid piece. When we acquired him I think the hope was that he could be a top line starter. I hope that happens, but seems less and less likely.

2 ducks on the pond… bit opportunity here boys. Good to see Hamilton pulled, but sobering that our best options is Rengifo. i know in the trade/waiver thread we talked about not a lot of help available on the left side around the league… but yikes. i know Durbin is off to a rough start with Boston, but I’m secretly hoping he gets released and the Brewers can snag him back

Good to see Sal with a couple hits today. Hopefully he can get going

Sounds good. Sorry for the hyperbole. Hope he can put it together

He was up in 2024 before being an optioned wasn’t he? Or did that not count as an option because of his injury?

His longtime lead assistant on the other hand, great guy.. i’ve run into Armando a handful of times since my college days.

Isn’t he 27 going on 28?

So down to 1 after we option him back tomorrow. made someone we can deal to get some left-side help on the infield.

I agree with that. The guy has won 3 national titles and UWW has become a powerhouse. That said, not a guy I’d want to have a beer with. 20 years ago at UWW, the guy had a reputation and not a good one. But I’d imagine that is true for most athletes and coaches… very talented but not pleasant people.

He’s got to be running out of options though, isn’t he? I get that lefty pitchers take time to develop, but he’s closing in on 30

UW-Whitewater just eliminated from NCAA playoffs. Tough break for a team expected to do some damage at the World Series. Shows how important matchups can be though.
