With the lottery next year we will probably draft about 16 or 17. Lol

Hate to be so pessimistic but not much goes right, does it?

Evan Carter hit his 9th HR today for Hickory. Mason Englert threw all five innings in a rain shortened game giving up one run on one hit and no walks while striking out nine.

Ugh. Well. I don’t think they are big buyers at the break

Well I said it was probably going to be a sweep but thought they had a chance at 1 game and after they blew their chance Friday, it was pretty much a done deal.

Glad the first half is over. Hope to see better managing and use of the young guys in the second half.

On to the draft.....

Only should have been buying, if it stocked the shelves for several years to come.

Turns out this team is much further away than most had hoped for going into the year. Most thought we could be a playoff and contending team in 2023 and possibly play for a WS berth in 2024 but it isn't that promising without acquiring some key FA pitching and another bat or 2.

Hey scotsman your two favorites Calhoun an Miller. 0 for 7, 4 strikeouts and 5 left on base.
where did you get that they are my favorites? that's being a bit of an ass, isn't it? all i said was that as long as they are on the team Woody will continue to use them. do i agree with that? NO. but i'm pragmatic enough to realize that he will. sorry i didn't jump on the bandwagon

Daniels and Young need to force the manager's hand, by only giving him guys that need opportunities to prove themselves, at the ML level going forward.
i agree but until they do we are stuck with Calhoun, Miller & Culberson. hopefully by trade deadline
