Not sure what thread to post this in, as this one veered off topic pretty fast, but Nick Pratto was also promoted to Omaha. Omaha plays at 11 something this morning, and both may be in the lineup according to WDAF this morning.
I just wanted to say, in honor of Cali boy Nick Pratto, that driving through his birthplace of Huntington Beach, CA on the Pacific Coast Highway in a convertible does NOT suck.
Pratto and Witt should be in Omaha for at least a month. I'd guess if they dominate/perform well, they get September call ups when the roster expands to 28. [Reply]
I remember driving across NE to CO a couple of times, driving in the Platte river valley there made it feel like there wasn't a hill from Lincoln till the border. At least in KS you get the flint hills. [Reply]

I am guessing what they do with Witt depends some on Mondesi. If he comes back and gets hurt again and they shut him down, I think Witt will get a shot at SS sooner than later to see what they have. Mondesi comes back and does well, I think they will keep Witt down more to try to see about Witt more at 3rd or elsewhere. [Reply]

Once you pass the I-76 junction, it's about a 3000 ft gain in elevation to the Wyoming border, so there is one hill. [Reply]

Taking US 80 across Wyoming from Utah you actually go up quite a bit in elevation, but never know it because the landscape rarely changes. You even cross the continental divide and wouldn't realize it if there was no sign for it. [Reply]
