Matt carpenter doesnt seem to have the hype around him that he did coming out of spring training and after his brief but bad stint in the majors. But it shouldnt be overlooked that he has had a very solid season.
I think matt’s failure to hit (though not to get on base) in a tiny ML sample size put a damper on enthusiasm. Would love to see him playing regularly after september 1.
Kramer in seinfeld, “the statue” episode
Very good. Will have something different for next week.
P.S. I think “The Statue” episode is my favorite.
26 HRs and 96 RBIs for Nick. Great work! Forever 29.
heh
I feel really bad for Nieto, not sure if he belongs as a starter, especially in AA, he got thrown in due to Shelby’s suspension.
28 yr old Tyler Greene seems determined to keep the debate going as to whether he is really a very good AAAA player or whether he deserves another shot with the major league organization.
I think it’s the latter but he does seem spooked by LaRussa. Hope he gets the shot somewhere.
He will easily get another shot. It will probably won’t be for a winning team, but a team willing to take a chance.
Where has Kolten Wong been lately?
DL with a hamstring issue.
So is Audry Perez or Cutler hurt, or why is Tartamella playing for Springfield?
Perez is on the DL. Don’t know why.
Does anyone know when Wong will be off the DL? Am heading to Peoria on Friday night and was looking forward to seeing him play.
