Down on the Farm 2024

I believe the plan with Snell is for him to start tonight for Sac, and then take the mound next Wed
in PIT.

Tonight - Harrison
Sat - Hicks
Sun - Winn
Tue - Webb
Wed - Snell

I'd imagine that Hjelle would be available to be an opener if necessary.

Interestingly, it seems Ray is now ahead of Cobb in terms of rehab. Cobb has just started a throwing program, Ray has thrown two bullpen sessions.

Again, I have ZERO expectations for Ray this year. Very seldom do pitcher throw any effective innings their first season back from TJ. ‘25 is where I will begin to expect results from him.

Craw is getting a LOT of helium. Mumblings that he may be good enough to bump Doval out of the closer job.

Seems a bit early to seriously consider that but Doval hasn't made the next jump in his development. If he continues to flounder or, worse, further regresses, and Crawford continues to dominate, then I could see it as a possibility . . . eventually.

In Modesto, Eldridge just hit a 3-run bomb in the top of the 8th to give the Giants a 5-2 lead. His 4th homer and 19th RBI of the season.
