[Bertz]

Burl Carraway with only one walk in his last four outings, covering 5 innings. 8 strikeouts over those outings.

 

It is not particularly impressive, but with his stuff we all knew that when his command got up to "adequate" he was gonna start moving fast. This might be a sign that's happening.

Man, that would be a nice development.

 

At the major league level, Steele and Thompson have shown growth (along with Nance, Wisdom and Ortega). We've seen Jensen and Herz take steps forward in the minors along with a nice list of relievers. It'd be really nice to have 1 or 2 more upside arms do the same in the 2nd half.

 

I'll settle for Carraway and Cam Sanders settling in and starting to shut guys down. Also, let's have Kohl Franklin show up, stay healthy and dominate, and Caleb Kilian keep doing what he's been doing in AA for the Smokies.

 

Is that too much to ask...?

[We Got The Whole 9]

When will Killian pitch? I saw Canario had a 2 hit day.

Ortega is 30 years old.

There was a Tweet on Friday that had when everyone we traded for last pitched that I really wish I had saved. But most of the guys pitched mid week last week, so we'll see them all get starts likely in the next 2-3 days. I think the exception is Bailey Horn, who I believe got put on the Development List. (Basically it's like the IL but instead of being hurt you go hang out in the Pitch Lab for a few weeks.)

Yes, and Wisdom and Nance are right around there too. Your point?
