Welp, that's gonna fuck up our rotation pretty bad. God Dammit

if all this is true, i think either Grubbs becomes a starter and use someone like Burns for his previous role, or you go with someone like Bing with a short leash to Grubbs. my preference would be start Grubbs.

Wtf - all these kids playing select baseball growing up seems like a recipe for this shit. Starting to piss ol jw off that Longhorn pitching staffs have this happening regularly. Spencer’s not even been here that long and here we go again with this shit. It does not get the JW seal of approval.

I’d do everything in my power to keep Grubbs where he is. Him and Volantis with the ability to go multiple innings is such a weapon out of the bullpen.

I don’t see any reason why Flores can’t be a good #3 starter with what he has shown so far. I was worried about control with him at the start of the year but he has thrown plenty of strikes.

Bing just doesn’t do it for me as a weekend guy. I think he is in the perfect role as a 4th starter who throws strikes but won’t miss a ton of bats.

Thomas Burns is another interesting piece. I like what I’ve seen from him the most out of the guys that have improved as the season has progressed.

Need your arms out of the bullpen to be on from the 1st pitch. 11 HBPs in 28 innings is concerning from Flores. I’d prefer to start him just because you can generally tell pretty quick whether he has the feel for his 2 seamer, and if he blows up it’s easier to overcome it with the whole game left to play rather than if it happens in the 7th or 8th

You are right. Somehow I forgot about Flores.

I’ll believe it when I see it, but something to monitor I suppose

We are so late in the season I would prefer he just take a redshirt and come back next season at 100%.
