Final Thoughts
With two more homers last night, Rhys Hoskins brings himself ever closer to that 20-home run mark. It’s truly astonishing giving the short amount of time that he’s been in the big leagues for.
I’m in Loss column mode. I want the #1 draft pick for worst record. Hopefully they don’t listen to the same guys that influenced the Adam Haseley,Mickey Moniak, or Cornelius Randolph selections.
F the loss column I am enjoying watching again! Made it to the 11th last night! As for listening on draft pics my guess is that they are the same guys that influenced the Hoskins, Nola, Kingery, Altherr and scouted Herrera rule 5 etc… way too early to whine about Moniak and Hasely
Hoskins and Williams
