Pitching for Harrisburg tonight was horrendous.  So it was hard to judge anything except our guys were very patient, waiting for something they could hit. Haskin walked twice. His one hit was a long drive down the right field line that scored Cowser.

In the 7th, he fouled a ball back into his body - I thought it went off his head but it might’ve been his shoulder or neck.  Anyway, it caromed off his body all the way the first.  He came back in the box to finish the AB but then popped out foul and was taken out of the game after that point.

Will be interested to find out if he just shakes this off.  I think they took him out just as a precaution.  I hope. 

So he wasn’t in the lineup tonight and didn’t see him warm up. Will be interested to see if he’s in tomorrow.

It seems him an Hernaiz are two guys that constantly get over looked when mentioning prospects.  They have both put up very respectable numbers this year though.  The crazy thing is 5 years ago if they were putting up numbers like they have they would be talked about a lot as future major league pieces.  It shows how much better the farm is that so many other guys are ahead of them and they around the 20th best prospect among scouts.

Haskin hit #15 tonight.  Sneaking towards that magic 20HR number that will get some people excited.  He’s been streaky on season, but has improves from last year and now sits with a very respectable .823 OPS.  7 years ago and we’d be going crazy for this guy.  

The ghosts of Jeff Fiorentino and Val Majewski Past (I know that was a lot longer than 7 years ago at this point)

Question for the group, can he push to replace McKenna?

As the 4th OF? I feel like McKenna has done well in his role this season, and I can't imagine it's easy without a routine and he has shown improvement. He's less than 2 years older than Haskin.

Where does McKenna go if Haskin replaces him? I imagine Haskin, in prospect-status right now, probably has more trade interest than a 4th OF/short-side platoon outfielder, but maybe their trade value is similar. We have some interesting OFs and it wouldn't surprise me if Haskin gets talked about in trade discussions.

Haskin is one of these guys who, for me, falls a notch below true prospect status. I could see him getting a cup of coffee in the majors but I can’t imagine him having a regular gig, even as a McKenna type.  I don’t really know why I feel that way.   He’s just not someone who stands out to me in any significant way.

He's kind of a tweener.   Questionable plate discipline numbers, maybe not enough power for a corner or enough speed/defense for CF.    He doesn't stand out in any way but he's only 23 and he did improve in AA while advancing a level so we can always hope he makes more improvements next year while advancing to AAA.

I have not seen him play much but MLB Pipeline rates his speed  and his fielding 60. And he has a Mullins like arm at 45.    So you are saying he is not a good  CF?   Interested in what you have seen.

He’s not a base stealer and Tony has not been overly impressed with his CF defense from what I can remember.  He can play CF but it sounds like he’s not a true CF.

From MLB Pipeline:

An athletic center fielder with both power and speed, Haskin has long drawn easy comparisons to All-Star outfielder George Springer, who preceded Haskin at Avon (Conn.) Old Farms School by a decade.

I am not saying its true.  Just pointing to an opinion by Callis.

Mckenna is a better defensive outfielder overall and better base runner due to his speed, so that alone gives him a nod as a 4th/5th outfielder type. Haskin to me just doesn't do anything that suggests he's going to be a regular. He could end up a 4th outfielder or a maybe a 2nd Division regular.

I didn’t say he wasn’t fast or athletic. He’s still not a base stealer and fast and athletic doesn’t necessarily make you a plus defender or even average.  I’d be interested and happy to see any reports about his actual defense in CF.

    • They likely sell out for a 7pm game. Tough schedule being at 4pm but that coupled with how bad/boring they have been the last 3 months, it’s not surprising they didn’t sell out. The excitement is just way down this year for good reason and that’s on the team, not the fans. Nobody wants to go watch your favorite team struggle to get 5 hits and 3 runs. You can watch that on the TV for free.
    • Just a casual reminder that prior to the two very good performances in those definitely meaningful games in MIN, Jackson had a .325 OPS in his 45 previous PAs. In that same rough timeframe, he also had three arguable late-inning gaffes (two fielding, one baserunning) that changed and/or cost us games. I get that we’re feeling desperate, but…forcing him into the lineup over Westburg or Urias feels like an ultimate panic move. 
    • Put me in the Holliday at second column for today.  Bat him ninth and cross your fingers he keeps last weekend's improvements going. I think we need someone from out of nowhere to get going if we want to do anything in the playoffs - Holliday certainly on the list of candidates for that, along w/ Kjerstad.  Who knows maybe Holliday is ready to break out and become our Evan Carter for the rest of 2024.  Worth a shot after yesterday's abysmal performance. Henderson Westburg (moves to 3B obviously) O'hearn (1b) Santander Cowser Mullins Kjerstad (DH) Rutschman Holliday   That's a lot of lefties in a row, but that can be abated somewhat with pinch hitting later in the game, if needed - Mountcastle/Slater/Rivera/Urias is not a terrible RH bench and any combo can hit for Kjerstad or Holliday or Mullins. Have to move Rutsch down.
    • Not disagreeing with you, but need to point out that San Diego has done a lot of winning lately, almost catching the Dodgers. That gives your fans a lot of faith to show up for a playoff game.
    • The ball Mullins hit.  Was the wind blowing in yesterday because I thought it was gone off the bat?
    • I live in South Carolina so it's not a convenient drive, but I did buy ALCS tickets right away last year (obviously that didn't pan out) but didn't purchase any tickets (yet) this year. I could see myself making the drive up if they happened to win the next two for a ALDS or ALCS game. But with how the team has performed the last half of the year I can honestly say I was significantly less excited this year than last.  Of course, I did watch every pitch and followed all the reports and media leading up to the game so I'm still invested, but it's certainly a bit different. 
    • Gunnar isn’t going anywhere for at least 4 more years after this. I’m all for signing him longterm. Whether Gunnar is signed or not has nothing to do with how they played down the stretch. If he had a 10 year deal that doesn’t make him or anyone else better.    From a fan standpoint clearly inking a home grown star to a longterm deal will go a long ways. I am hopeful new ownership will do these things.
