I was watching some highlights from the affiliates last night, and honestly, there’s something about seeing a roster of hungry kids just absolutely steamrolling through a week that hits different. When the big club is struggling, you almost find yourself rooting for these guys just to feel some sense of momentum.
It’s easy to write off the developmental leagues as just a "waiting room," but when you see a perfect run like this, it makes you wonder about the sheer luck involved. You can have all the talent in the world, but if the timing isn't right or the chemistry isn't clicking, those winning streaks just don't happen. I remember following a specific prospect a few years back who was on a tear, and it felt like every single game was a massive event.
Do you guys actually follow the farm system closely, or do you only care once they actually get the call up to the show?
