Is there a possibility it has something to do with being a cancer survivor? It could weaken his immune system or something? Otherwise that horsefeathering sucks and is disappointing as hell.
Yeah I mean the big thing was we haven't been able to develop pitching. Alzolay and Keegan Thompson already look like they belong. Maples, Steele and Nance have been solid parts of the pen this year. And guys like Abbott and Marquez are on the cusp of making an impact. It took awhile but we're starting to see it happen.
I've been a fan for awhile so I'm thrilled about this. Looks like Nick Martini DFA'd. We also picked up someone named Dakota Chalmers from the Twins who we decided will require a 40 man spot.
DJ Herz is obliterating the competition. Wondering when he gets a promotion. Same with Cam Sanders. I knew nothing of Cayne Ueckert (would've told you it's a made up name) but he's pitched well at two levels already this year.
I just learned that Cubs icon Michael Wuertz is their pitching coach. Loved that guy for those couple years. That's pretty cool.I vaguely recall the board losing its s--t when we traded him away and he then had a great season for the A's.
He had surgery, no timetable for return. I'm guessing he isn't coming back this season, truly sounds awful. Hoping he recovers. Also guessing he goes to 60 day IL and someone else gets the 40 man spot when needed.
I am shocked that Nance has only been in the system since 2016. Seems like it's been longer. Mills has not looked great this year. Think he needs some time to figure it out.
