Good thing we don’t need Brandon Sproat anytime soon. He had yet another rough outing in Syracuse this afternoon. 6 ER, 4 hits, 3 walks and only 4Ks. Worst of all he gave up 3 HRs. Given they are losing 16-8 no one is pitching particularly well today. In a way it’s good Sproat will need to earn a trip to the Big Leagues. Right now… no chance to rush him.
I don’t know what it is about pitching and Syracuse but a couple of our prospects were performing well until they got there. Not like it’s at altitude or something.Good news is that McLean had a nice start at AAA but of course that was at Jacksonville.He was spotted a 5-0 lead too. Probably a wrap on any idea of him coming up prior to September. The kid could not have had a worse start in AAA. Crazy.
At what point do we shake up the staff there? AA sends them pitcher after pitcher that killed it and more than 2/3’s of them do terribly.I don’t know what it is about pitching and Syracuse but a couple of our prospects were performing well until they got there.
