thanks for the update. Bummer to see Austin go.
ReplyDeleteI've got to say that I'm surprised about Austin. I was still pulling for him.
ReplyDelete2 playoff races are definitely affected by these late season roster changes. The loss of Jean Carlos Batista's bat can hurt Greeneville as the make a playoff push. Moreover, I was wondering about how Tri-City would perform after their recent promotions also. It is shaping up to be an exciting last couple weeks of the minor league season....
