Hopefully Tucker Davidson gets a shot next time we need a starter instead of just running Wright/Wilson out there to get beat up again.

Augusta game was pretty blah. The starter was Bryant, who I have never heard of. He was sitting 94-96 on his fastball. He threw a ton of curve balls which were really effective. His stuff was surprisingly good. The run he gave up was due to some bad defense behind him. Most contact was weak. He was pulled after 3 and a third innings and the wheels fell off of the Green Jacket pitching staff. A lefty named Rodriguez came in and couldnt throw strikes. I didnt pay much attention to the staff after that 4th inning.
The talent was lacking at the plate and in the field. Lots of strikeouts and weak contact up and down the order. Willie Carter smoked a ball, but I looked him up, hes 24, so not really a prospect.
Unfortunately Grissom didnt play tonight so I missed the top prospect here. Im sure Ill catch him at some point this season.
Is the system in as bad a shape as it was in 2014?
Watched the Gwinnett game instead of the *hit show going on at Truist Park. Davidson looked really good - not overpowering or TOR good, but the good that we need. Wasn't overthrowing or trying to be overly precise, working both sides of the plate, not scared of contact.
Of course it's much easier to do that when given a 7-0 lead before you've thrown your first pitch.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
I wouldn't go that far. I think the fact that the draft strategy of 2019 was so greatly disrupted by the pandemic that we have to see how those guys play out before making any rash judgments. Anthopoulos didn't inherit the best of situations with the international penalties and the problems that the organization's pinning such high hopes on The Battery investment have compounded the problem.
