tTom Brennan - Vasil and Hamel Last Night, and AA Hitting Thunder.

“Hey, there’s  Mike and Dom…How Did They Do Last Night?”

Mike Vasil wasn’t good last night - 5 innings, 5 runs and is now 3-4, 5.71 in 14 Syracuse starts.

So…don’t pencil him into the 2024 rotation just yet.

Dom Hamel, on the other hand, was brilliant for 3 in AA last night before the rains came. No hits, 5 Ks.

So, last night plus his prior outing, 9 shutout, 3 hit innings, 14 Ks. Sweet. 

Two thumbs way up, for the guy with 147 Ks in 116 innings, and 18-9, 3.63, 299 Ks in 238 IP as a pro.

This year, 4.11, but that is largely because he had a handful of brutal outings where he allowed 23 earned runs in 15 innings. The other 101 AA innings, just 30 earned runs, which is very solid. Growth expects some level of aberration.

Binghamton hitting-wise was 10 for 17 last night prior to the rains. That collection of dudes can rake. Bodes well for the future.

Curious about today's St. Lucie debut of Calvin Ziegler

Ziegler? Wow, almost forgot about him. Another Tidwell in the making?

How about Schwartz? Anther two hit game. He’ll be a top twenty guy next year.

I totally missed on this guy coming out of school. Limited press.

Report is he is already his hitting 95

Why did he miss a year? Tommy John? Don’t recall.

Just remembered, elbow chips clear out, then torn quad.

Ryley Gilliam out since July 2021. Wonder if we’ll ever see him again.

Allan 8 months since surgery. Maybe Ernest has some news on Gilliam and Allan.
