Hope Curley is better than the 6.41 ERA and 1.7 WHIP he put up with Amarillo in his 46+ innings this year.
It was his first year of pro ball. They promoted him from high A. They can’t all be Liam Doyle.
I know that system development continues to be the objective, but I hope that 26 games behind is not going to be considered an acceptable result next year.
Would 14 games behind the brew crew be acceptable?
Winning over 100 games isn’t easy and it doesn’t always equate to success in the postseason either as we know well. I mean the 3 times we did it ourselves in the last 22 year gave us no fall classic hardware.
They need to get the pitching developed more than anything. It appears we have some hitting coming soon. Hopefully not in 2028 due to a stoppage.
ATM condolences. Lost my father in 2024. He was a Cubs fan. So I’m glad the sins of the father didn’t grt passed on.
Walker looks just as overmatched as Scott. Hope he gets a reset this winter
He has been brutal the last 30 games. Won’t do a deeper dive but he’s been stuck at 100 rbi for a minute. Hope it’s just fatigue.
I don’t know if I would call it a slam dunk success. Progression has been maybe in the minors and with skme of the roster at the majors level. More work is to be done.
We will see on the pitching side how it shapes up. Far as position players we seem to have aome guys and some on the way. They positions that concern me the most are 5 and 6. Winn is an absolute whiz with the glove and he has the howitzer. The concern is if this is the bat then it is imperative that we either develop a guy at the hot corner or buy one and I don’t think ownership wants to go down that road of buying one yet.
Idk where we are at for inning as far as relievers go. My guess is 3-4 of these guys are either already at or past a career high. Riley has done what he can but my guessis he needs the offseason to build up some stamina on that 185lb frame.
Jesus Baez glove was the biggest question when we acquired him. He has an arm. I’ve seen it in action a couple of times. He did make an error at SS when I saw him this year. When I saw him in Peoria after we got him last season you could tell his bat was the calling card and the sound it made when he made contact was different than anyone Peoria or South Bend had on it’s roster.
Potatoes has to show value in order to be traded. The Bullpen as of end of Friday had a 5.24 ERA ( or somewhere close) after the break. I think a lot of it is usage for some. That’s not on Oli because our starters have innings limits or don’t go very far.
I was at the game yesterday. Wasn’t a sellout and the heat was real. Women passes out in front of me after going for nachos with her Hubble earlier. When they build busch 4 can they just have a dome. Left when Bernal homered to beat the metro traffic. Thankfully I did.
