That’s a tough first opponent, but imagine if he does well. My god, I hope he does well.

If Hunter Brown continues what he’s doing, Arrighetti gives us what he was doing in that stretch, and Bloss is fire.
Than JV-Framber-Blanco-Brown-Arrighetti-Bloss is a rotation that can help right the ship.
Oh and getting two all-star /MVP caliber players back in the lineup.
(Obviously a lot of what ifs, but for those that haven’t given up then that’s the path)
Roy Oswalt welcome back
Welp, I’ve got tickets to that game. Hopefully it goes well, but at least beers are $3 at 1820 across the street
How well is he expected to do in the majors considering how he’s been playing? Don’t think I’ve heard this guy’s name tossed around as much in regards to being a good prospect.
One of the top offenses in baseball in his debut, I really hope he does well, but this is not a good way to build confidence if he struggles.
Desperation?! “It’s a bold move Cotton, let’s see if it pays off.”
I know his results have been great, but I don’t know much about him.
It will be fun to see his stat cast metrics after some MLB playing time.
Dude’s gone 3-1 with 4 quality starts, a 1.61 ERA, 0.71 WHIP 7.05 K/9 in 8 starts at AA.
It used to be that AA was considered the proving ground for pitchers, not sure if that’s still the case.
Bloss is Boss!
I’m pulling for you, kid!
Dana Brown has certainly taken command of organizational decisions over the past week. DFA Abreu, promoted his 4th draftee to AA Corpus Christi in under a year, and now fast tracking Bloss to the majors.
