Hendricks has pitched well for CHC. Here's hoping our guy out pitches their guy and I wouldn't mind a little rain to force Hendricks out of the game if he's pitching well.

    • I’m not up on contracts, but Means is a free agent after this season as well, right? No idea about Irvin. Pretty sure we have a decent amount of control left over Bradish and Kremer. I know we have a ways to go with Grayson. So the rotation could look very different next year. Hopefully Povich is up for it. I’d try to find a way to call him up this year, even if out of the bullpen. He’s gotta start facing MLB hitters this year if he’s going to slot into the rotation next year IMO.  But, like the rest of our team, I think the rotation today is quite good, and still not as good as it’s going to be later into the summer. I look forward to everyone’s turn now to see what they’ll accomplish next. 
    • Westburg but also Cowser.   Cowser is just as, if not more, talented but he can’t grind AB’s the way Westburg can and doesn’t seem as instinctual defensively or on the bases.   Westburg for sure.  Cowser too.
    • Every year a couple of things happen that you hoped for, but didn’t really expect.  2022: Gunnar goes from lower top 100 prospect to best prospect in the game. 2023: Bradish goes from mid/back of rotation starter to no. 4 in the Cy Young voting.   This year, for me it’s Jordan Westburg going from looking like a decent major league starter into a star player.  It’s still early, and Westburg could hit some cold spells, but as I watch him play every day, I don’t think there’s anything flukey going on here.  He hits the ball hard almost every time, he’s very fundamentally sound, and he’s mentally tough.   I think we have a long time star on our hands. I’m also a starting to think Cole Irvin is a big story for 2024.   But I’m not as sure about that one.    
    • I have no idea why we haven't done this yet. We have the technology to remove human error. We have the ability to be above reproach in this modern gambling age. Let's get it done. The minor leagues already use it and as we heard, it has affected players coming from the minors to the majors (why we have different procedures in the minors vs the majors is beyond me, like when they used different balls). I can't see what the argument would be for the other side. 
    • MLB pitchers are typically used to throwing every fifth day. So not having days off, while an extra day is nice, is typical and their normal MO. But with a 6 man rotation (and therefore a 7 man bullpen), you would like to have a few days off to rest the pen. We have had enough trouble keeping the pen rested even with an 8 man bullpen. And we don’t have guys with options to send down and get fresh arms to cover innings in instances where the pen is overused.    even with the pitchers throwing well, we’ve used 7, 5 and 5 relievers over the last 3 games. Without the day off on either side of the nationals game, our pen would be exhausted. 
    • Considering they were 3-22, 10-28 ain’t bad.  
    • Kremer’s blister?    Maybe.
