Watching the Norfolk Tides on a daily basis has become a lot less fun over the past week, partly for good reasons. OF DJ Stewart is now gone, mashing his way back to the major leagues with the Baltimore Orioles. IF Ryan Mountcastle has also been out of the lineup, but for injury reasons. Luckily, Chance Sisco continues to demolish baseballs and LHP Keegan Akin has continued his effective ways on the mound.
While the lineup gets a shakeup, and possibly another one with the eventual promotion of Sisco, I want to focus on the pitching staff.
