Was a little surprise it happens before the end of the season-- not saying its bad-- matter of fact it is good for the players to get a jump start on looking for a new place to play.
Only irony is that Angel left similarly and there was an uproar about "quitter" etc,, and these guys can't get on the field - similar to Angel-- yet crickets.
Now if any of these players who haven't been playing decided to leave on their own BEFORE end of the season would there be an uproar? Again similar to Angel?
There is a long thread about Durke departure. It was about a week or so ago.
I won't speak for anyone but myself, but seems like Deggs is very knee jerk with playing the hot hand as well as sending someone to the dog house. That wasn't as clear to me last year and I felt like Conor quit on the team. It may have been lack of proper instruction OR a lack of willingness to put in the work. We'll see how his pro career turns out. I feel the same about Durke, but with the added context about Deggs, I'll stop short of calling him a quitter. Outside of Clark supposedly being a clubhouse problem, the others never got opportunities and likely weren't going to help our team one way or another.
Are we sure these guys are no longer with the program or are they just not on the postseason roster? Being we have not seen them on the field that could be the case as postseason rosters are trimmed down a little.
Getting to the point guys-- Durke was not going to pitch probably any more -- hard to criticize him leaving early I mean after all Deggs doesn't have a problem with it. Same for Angel.
I for one- think Durke did the right thing for him--as did Angel.
Bryce Calloway is also no longer on the online roster
2/3rds of an inning on the season, two different games 1/3 of an inning each, pitched in 2 blowout games, 1/3 vs Indiana where he got the only out he pitched and 1/3 vs Rice where he gave up 1 hit and 3 runs. I saw him pitch vs Rice looked like he had decent stuff, but control was an issue.
