EPIC EPIC EPIC season for Lazar. What an incredible story. So proud of that young man. Man, I was really sad when we lost him to ML FA. BUT, clearly it has worked out in all the right ways for Max who has hit an entirely different level in 2024. SO happy for him.
RHP TJ Shook has now gone three consecutive scoreless Saves in his first 3 SVO in 2024 (all in August) - 1.0 IP, 2 H, 0 BB, 2 K, 0 R, 1 SV. Since joining Binghamton he has gone five consecutive scoreless outings. 8 IP, 10 K, 3 BB, 3 H, 0 R. I will continue to not understand that trade whatsoever. Didn't make sense the day of the trade. Doesn't make sense now. It's odd when the Brewers, an organization so adept at identifying and developing pitching talent, let guys like LHP Justin King (literally in King's case) and RHP TJ Shook go. I feel as though they never really understood what they had in either case. Regardless, extremely happy to see both young man crushing it in their next opportunities. King gave up his first run as a Blue Wahoo tonight. However, he's pitched in 8 games since he signed with the Wahoos. 7 2/3 IP, 4 H, 2 BB, 1 HB, 14 K, 1 ER. He's been absolutely fantastic. I don't know what was going on for the talented lefty in Biloxi but he's always had the talent and he has really put together a master class since moving just down the way in Pensacola. Very very happy for him.
