I repeat : Is Cornelio about to “ turn the corner “
Luke today would be my late mothers birthday (6-1-26) same day year as Marilyn Monroe
Tomorrow you could reference Monroe movie titles in relation to pitchers outings .
Was Theophile like Adon of usual ? Only 4 IP due to pitch ceiling ?
We saw that when a whole squad pitches in the Fred succeeds .
There is a Hotel Bennett in Charleston
Cornelio showed that he could throw all his offspeed pitches for strikes but when they looked for and swung at his low 90s fastball early he was hit. at 23 in low A he needs to go deeper than 79 pitches and four innings
I’ll say this, the most improved member of the organization is the FredNats camera operator.
Ok Listen to the Doctor , Fred ! Doobie Bros
the Sens only walked one and drew nine free passes yesterday continuing their success in both areas. good to see
and by nine I meant eight
Congrats to Jackson Cluff on his outstanding month. The way his season started, I thought he might get released.
Has Cluff elevated himself to prospect status?
Big surprise that Cluff is playing so well.
its taken a while for Jackson to recover from being spiked opening day 2021
Is there any there there with Baldonado?
How come Tim Cate hasn’t pitched in 2 weeks but isn’t on the injured list?
Are the Nats wasting a 40-man spot on Jose Ferrer?
Is Dustin Saenz ready for AA? And can he be an effective middle-reliever?
Are 5-foot-8 Alemao Hernandez’s stats fool’s gold or is he a legit prospect?
Could Lucas Knowles be the guy?
Alemao org filler
Eating innings where needed
Saenz is definitely ready, caveat that the jump from High A to AA is a big one.
