You are right, it is time to release DeJong. He is not the same pitcher as last season.
it wouldn't surprise if the release paperwork is already completed. Only question is whether to tell Chase tonight or wait until tomorrow. I feel sorry for the guy, he appeared to figure it out in Indy but it could be he just doesn't have it.

Your post made me wonder about Pro's. I've always believed all pro's have to be cocky and think they can whip the guy across from them. Johnny Bench said it best, "a quiet cocky." I would hope no pro thinks the opponent is better then them. I understand we as fans can see it in black and white but I sure the hell hope players don't think that way.

pretty nice that they named a high school after you! Enjoy the banquet.
That was funny but actually he is highly respected in the history of Wildwood HS. The Gym is named after him. He brought Championships to a school with small student population.
Not only is the gym named after him but they have a life-sized crumpled aluminum foil statue outside the gym.

Now that's funny. They didn't even use the more expensive
Reynolds aluminum foil. They used the Giant Eagle Brand. :'(
