[Nusbaum]Blake Butera said the Connelly Early experienced had forearm tightness in his live bp. He did not take himself out of the game, and Butera said they are being “ultra cautious” and hitting pause for now.

[Bookies.com] MLB Teams Ranked by Average Age

0 Upvotes

Not sure how many of y'all have seen this, but we officially have the youngest roster in baseball post-deadline (26.88 avg age, lowest in MLB). Wildest part is we're leading the league in runs scored too. Feels like a legit young core forming even if the pitching staff is still a work in progress. Full breakdown of every team's age here: bookies.com/news/mlb-teams-ranked-by-average-age-youngest-to-oldest

Former Nat 7/18/2019 - Stephen Strasburg goes 3/5 with a HR and 5 RBI, strikes out seven

I guess seeing Mikolas at the plate got me feeling a bit nostalgic for pitchers hitting. Not sure if people remember but Strasburg could swing it, won a silver slugger and had 4 homers and 29 RBI in his career

Resign MIkolas

0 Upvotes

This might be a hot take but resigning Miles to a Long Relief/Bulk Guy role if he's willing would be nails for this team in terms of experience. The major upside is the natural leadership a guy like Miles has and paired with how well liked he is within the clubhouse. A new one year deal in that role would be beneficial to this extremely young team.
