One Henley, you never know how a prospect, any prospect is gonna respond to their first appearance. Even if they had called up a "qualified' prospect like Kouba or Arrighetti they may have wet the bed. You never really know until they are out there. That's what happened, the moment was clearly way too big for him. Caratini was literally just calling for any pitch down the middle to calm him down and he couldn't even do that. Even if he had electric stuff it wouldn't have mattered.
Man, I felt so bad for that kid and his parents were there...........it was cringe worth. I really hope he can gather himself and try again when he is ready
Did you happen to read the game wrapup at MLB.com? The team was super supportive before, during, and after. He loved it! He just didn't have a great outing. But, coach said the team would win it for him and yo-diddily (blame Ned Flanders) if they did. All the guys picking him up bigtime!
No doubt. Astros had an extreme emergency. Henley was using someone else's glove and wearing Korey Lee's cleats.
(Me guessing) Framber to IL ______________________________ “This means there will be another roster move for Blair Henley, who was optioned postgame last night.” “In case this is poorly worded: pitchers optioned to the minors must stay down for at least 15 days before being recalled again. There is no time limit, however, if the recalled player is replacing someone on the injured list. So, Mushinski can't be the move for Henley.”
Why are we being so secretive about it? Pitchers are going down left and right all over the league right now.
