Ahhh I love that our prospects are doing well to start the year off. Helps to stomach this current awful "MLB" team a little better.
Hoping Cease is up in July or August.
Idc what his health is like, make Santana throw 95 pitches at least. We do not need to put the strain on our pen and destroy those arms due to the incompetence of our starters.
I guess maybe I'm not understanding something...can you not burn more than one option in a season? I thought each time you were called up and then sent down to the minors you lose an option.
Let's see if Santana can pitch more than 5 innings today. Hopefully he fares better than the rest of our rotation...the last starts of Giolito, Lopez, Rodon and Nova have been abysmal.
Yeah, and I just read an article on NBC Sports Chicago that Renteria said as much, that the plan was for him to be extra insurance for Monday. So I guess it's a positive for Carson that they just basically burned one of his options.
Not advocating for the roster management here, but I'm sure they probably told Carson that he would only be up for a day and then he would be sent back down for Santana. He made the most of the short opportunity that he had. Probably will get him another look when the next pitcher injury happens.
I bet he's in AAA by year's end and makes his MLB debut next year if he continues this.
Very likely possibility the MLB team could look very different in 2020 with Kopech, Cease and Robert on the the team by August or September. Next year should be tons more fun and include a lot more incentive to watch compared to this year.
Yeah, I guess I mean more like in-game situations. It seem every time they start a rally, the opposing team always kills it. Like they crumble under pressure.
