He's under club control for a long time, its not something to be worried about. He seems to have discovered a bat... Sure it means we pay will pay more but I rather wait for the bat to be proven before over paying in the hope it develops.
PCA rules. His jumps in centerfield combined with the speed are insane. Throw in the fact that he’s raking and we have a superstar in the making.
Remember when people were pearl clutching about the cubs letting Canario go this offseason? He’s hitting .074 after that pinch hit out in the ninth.
I haven't gotten a look at his batting stance... any changes or they just sent him down for a confidence boost.
I have no idea what they’re going to do with him. He’s too good to be in AAA but there’s zero spot for him on the ML roster. He can’t play the field. Maybe they think about giving him a shot to get Turner’s at bats if Turner still sucks at the end of May
Move Busch to 3rd base and pencil him at 1st base. Probably a pipe dream but I think it’s worth a shot. The stat JD dropped last night about us having 0 homers out of the third base position through 30 games was surprising. I knew it had been bad but that’s pretty ridiculous.
Matt Shaw hit a homer in the diamondbacks series, maybe he wasn’t playing third that day? I think there’s some skepticism about Busch’s ability to play third but that would be a sick lineup. Shaw will figure it out anyways, so third base shouldn’t be as bleak a hole.
Unfortunately the most likely situation is that Tucker doesn’t re-sign, they move Seiya back to right and opens up DH for Mo
It’s getting to a point where you HAVE to bring him up. A 21 year old batting over .400 25 games in AAA?
Any other year for the past nine, the talk among our fans after the first month would be about the amazing start by Busch. Now it’s just a blip because of everyone else hitting so well too. Really excited about the future with him at 1B.
Pressly will likely be the next pitcher to hit the IL. He’s clearly not healthy and trying to pitch through it.
He’s pitched fine this year. He hurt his knee and had it drained a week ago. Hasn’t pitched much since and then we have tonight. Shut him down. Get him healthy. No need for him or Suzuki to be playing hurt. We have depth, use it.
Pressly needs the IL. That was one of the worst bullpen outings I’ve ever seen. What the fuck was Craig doing keeping him in that long if he is in fact injured? Leaving the winning runner in scoring position in both the 9th and 10th isn’t a good look either but it’s hard to get too upset with the bats. Especially after the 9th inning comeback and everything they’ve done all year. Frustrating loss all around.
If Pressly is sent to the IL or if it was just a bad outing, I think it’s clear his “stuff” isn’t good enough to be put in high leverage situations. Hodge should close and Pressly should probably be working 6th or 7th innings. Also this is two years in a row we are burned by the Astros when it comes to bull pen arms.
