Keith Law (who is currently super pissed about Crews skipping Wilmington) said that he was a likely bullpen guy. But, man, he’s put up some numbers in AA while being young for the league. If he turns out to push his way into the 25 rotation…I know we could have avoided this problem if we just re-signed Rendon and owed him $115M more dollars over the next three years, but I guess Rizzo will deal with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcl05 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Extending Davy and Rizzo is great news, in my opinion. I love their approach. The shine from 2019 is still bright for me. I think Davy's done a great job with the kids this year, and his relentless positivity in 2019 despite a lousy start was petty key, I think. And Rizzo seems to have torn down a world series winner and gotten us to a team loaded with young talent on the rise in basically 2.5 seasons - compare that to the years of tanking that got the Astros and O's to their current success and it's pretty remarkable. Sure, not every single move has been great, but nobody bats a thousand, and I'd take those two any time.

TheGreatBuzz Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Anyone have interest in a get-together in Baltimore before one of the Nats-Orioles games? September 26 or 27. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Security Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Carter Kieboom is getting his first MLB action tonight at third. I saw that Green played in FL yesterday while Vaquero did not. I’m wondering if he’s headed to Fredericksburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 To add on to the Herz news, he's on fire since the trade. Tonight he's thrown 4 innings, 0 runs, 0 hits, 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts. Something he's throwing is doing damage. Anyone know if his bread and butter is heat or off-speed? Even if he's just a reliever, it seems like he could be become a good one. I'm liking that he's part of what's shaping up to be a stacked AA group.

They just fired their GM today. Rizzo is from Chicago. Rosenthal broke the news about Davey's extension and that Rizzo's was close behind. But there's been some delay since then. Maybe reaching.

But still Hopefully that’s just a ploy to get more money. I’d be pissed if goes. Very good night for the org. Lots of good stuff with Harrisburg, Fredericksburg, and the big club. Good to see Gray bounce back. He’s had a shaky August with the six man rotation, but pitched well tonight. hehe. Didn’t realize Rochester scored 7 in the bottom of the ninth to win too.

Warhead36 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 This might sound crazy but there is a chance we could be playing meaningful baseball in September.

Riggo#44 Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 I don't think we're really in the playoffs hunt yet, September is pretty difficult schedule. But this team is exciting, especially considering out top prospects are still in AA ball, and we will have a ton of financial flexibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 10 under with around 35 to go. If they can play at this level to finish the season and get to 500, that would be a hell of an accomplishment for a hard reboot season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see us finishing around .500 but 70 is definitely in reach. And as we all know the 2012 team was outstanding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 My Dad (Yankees fan) is in pain we're piling on their losing streak (it's like 9 now)... He never kicked me when I was down when I left for a local team that at the time was losing 100 games a year. Text him this morning, his response..."Sad."
