I'm not going to lie, I've never really been a big believer in Holliday. I never really thought is power would develop. Anyhow, I couldn't be happier for him. He's proving me wrong this time around.
Yes, the title isn't a mistake.
His line wasn't good (expectedly...) 5 innings, 11 hits, 8 runs, 2 walks, 2 strike outs, 2 home runs allowed. No worries about him being the next Ohtani.
Delmarva pitched a "bullpen game" Saturday.
I'm a big fan of Kevin Brown esp when he's paired w/ Ben McDonald. I know that some of you hate the back and forth needling between Kevin and Ben but I think it's just part of their routine. To me, Kevin and Ben are the A Team. Like to hear Palmer for the stories if he's paired w/ someone like Kevin otherwise he just sort of meanders.
I’m not sure that anyone/many were hardline against him being sent down. I thought they should have given him another weeks worth of games, for example.
Either way, I’m happy to be wrong about the sending down if the belief in him is vindicated. Frankly, it was a very loud minority who wanted him gone.
