Same here. I think that ship has sailed. He would have been promoted to Nashville weeks ago around the time Black was but now that Biloxi is in the middle of a playoff race and Nashville is not, might as well keep him there until the end.
Our only chance in this one is to chase Wheeler somewhat early and get to the Phillies bullpen. We’re not going to do anything against Wheeler. Cubs are looking to sweep their doubleheader today. Yuck.
What is it about Gasser that the Brewers don’t like? They’ve had numerous opportunities to bring him up throughout the year and have passed every time. He’s 24 years old and has had a very solid year. Not sure what the Brewers are waiting for at this point.
I’ve been advocating for Black to be a September call up but even I’ll admit he just hasn’t been the same hitter he was earlier in the season for a good month now, maybe longer.
I’d like to think playing those teams will be different in September. By then, they will have completely given up, they’ve already traded veteran guys at the deadline and are playing for a higher draft pick. We can only hope…
