Gwinnett Stripers

And it just keeps getting better.

And it's because of you guys that we get the opportunities to do some of the cool stuff, like go hang out with the Gwinnett Stripers in the... for a day.

You know, bringing on team official beat writers and all of that stuff, and talking ball.

It's because of you guys.

[laughs] Like, it, it might be something crazy.

So moving on, we have Lazandro Espinoza, 23-year-old right-handed outfielder for the, right now, Colum- or Trip- uh, Gwinnett Stripers.

Actually, he got called up at the end of the year to play some in Gwinnett.

He's 23.

Oh, God.

Well, we're going to go visit the baseball team there, the Gwinnett Stripers.

And their

new...

So it's, like, and there's, yeah, so there's multiple leagues, but this is, like, the highest level.

Like, it's basically before the MLB.

These are the Gwinnett Stripers.

Probably where the pickles are at.

Can't they go play there?

The Strippers.

The Stripers, [laughs] yes.

Every time I see that name-

We can go to Indianapolis.

They finished at the Gwinnett Stripers, a AAA affiliate for the Braves.

A lot of good hitting performances this week, but we have to start on the pitching side because Connor Wickriff, somebody we talked about at length, last week in terms of promotions.

Does it really make sense? No.

The long lost, uh, national nightmare is, is over, at least for one day.

So Robert Suárez pitched an inning with the Gwinnett Stripers on Sunday afternoon.

Uh, by those who watched it, those who were in attendance, sounded like Robert Suárez looked pretty good.

Uh, velocity was in the mid, upper 90s.

Yeah.

What's he gonna gain by pitching in front of 15 people in some back fields? Like, you know, get him into a game, get the adrenaline pumping.

You know, the velocity was down a little bit, but I don't know how many people were at the Gwinnett Stripers game this afternoon, but you know, it, it's pales in comparison to what a, you know, full Truist Park is gonna be or, you know, whatever.

So the bright lights are on.

They didn't last very long in the major leagues this season either.

They united on the Gwinnett Stripers for a time last month, but they're both gone from there.

And then after that, yeah, you're just getting to the proverb, not proverbial, the actual, you know, 38 year olds who 37 year olds who were like, just like the oldest in the game.

Like it's, it's a, it's a, we do not have these old guys to bring us through.
