They are a really exciting, young team. Nice streak, but I don’t think they’re ready yet. How long y’all think before they’re ready to be legit threats? Next year? ‘25?

Great FB running in on the righty for the strike out there. Big time shutting them down 1,2,3 after a 5 run top half.

Broaki, I know you’ve been excited about what he can add to the bullpen assuming Fried comes back. (I’m not confident in Wright for this year). And I think you’re right—his stuff would play out of the pen. But I think AA may go get a couple high leverage guys for the pen—we really need another hard-throwing, high leverage lefty. Anyway, point is, I’m not sure AJ doesn’t stick in the rotation. Might be a battle between him and Shuster for that 5th spot.

Our staring pitching is really lacking. The front 3 was good with Greene and Lodolo and Ashcraft but all 3 are now on the IL(Ashcraft is coming back but he struggled his last few starts). Weaver is dogshit.

I think 24 or 25 we’ll see this team be really good.

I really am fascinated how we approach the pen on the back half of the season. There's really so many different ways we can attack it. Do Allard or Soroka factor in? That's like the only thing we really need to address outside of upgrading the empty uniform that is Sam Hilliard – but that's not pressing at all.

I think it's all but certain that AJSS moves to the pen once Fried comes back. Shuster is way more of a complete pitcher than him, but AJSS has better stuff which plays much better in an inning or 2 as opposed to 5+.

Looking way ahead though for the NLDS when we likely go three-man rotation, it'll be interesting to see who stays in between Elder and Strider because Fried and Morton are locked in, assuming Max is healthy and Charlie doesn't completely tank.
