Anyone else glad to see this month end? At least some prospects did ok. I think this was the best prospect month we've had, Eder/Bush excluded. Speaking of Bush, was surprised to see Bryce Bush still on the ACL roster on the exclusive list.
August 31, 20232 yr Chris Lanzilli moving from Kanny to WS. Eddie Park back from the IL. I'm guessing Nishida shifts over to LF.
August 31, 20232 yr Batista continues to look very solid. Allowed a single in the first but Harris got the CS: 6U/6D with 3K in the second and third. Allowed a double and walk in the 4th, but stranded them with a FC to 3B and a GIDP. The game was flying by since Kanny bats weren't doing anything either, but they're on the board now. Nishida walk and Park single put runners at the corners to set up a Gonzo bloop RBI single. Still two on, no outs.
August 31, 20232 yr That bloop single depresses me more than if Gonzalez had struck out. Everything that does not work about his swing/approach was evident in that one play.
August 31, 20232 yr I was right. He just struck out looking at 3 pretty much down the middle and I am not MORE depressed about his chances.

Harold hinted that maybe that pick was bigfooted from upstairs. May not be Shirley's fault, but in a historically deep draft like this, you can't afford to shank it.
August 31, 20232 yr I talked to someone who saw Gonzalez recently and he has concerns about his bat speed. "That dude has a slow pole."
August 31, 20232 yr Woof is Charlotte a wasteland. Guess I'm only watching the Nastrini pitching half.

August 31, 20232 yr Just now, Timmy U said: Grounds to the pitcher for a double play. Weak tapper, very slow to 1b. He seriously looks more like an UDFA than a first round pick
August 31, 20232 yr 2Ks for Nick "Nasty" Nastrini in the first, though the second one took 10 pitches. 3U/3D with another K in the 2nd. Throwing a lot of strikes, hitting 95-96. Edited August 31, 20232 yr by Autumn Dreamin
August 31, 20232 yr 8 minutes ago, Autumn Dreamin said: 2Ks for Nick "Nasty" Nastrini in the first, though the second one took 10 pitches. 2IP 3K now. That change up is a real difference maker for him.
August 31, 20232 yr Nastrini sure looks like a great pickup. 9 up 9 down. 5Ks. Edited August 31, 20232 yr by DirtySox
