He's going Cody Buckel on us...hopefully they can get his head right.

I read where Buckel recently pitched 2 innings in one game without walking or hitting anyone for the first time in a very long time.

The Rangers have long been interested in Orioles right-handed pitching prospect Parker Bridwell and have attempted to acquire him several times over the last three years, MASNsports.com’s Roch Kubatko reports. Bridwell, 23, was a ninth-round draft pick in 2010 and currently has a 4.51 ERA, 2.03 K/BB rate and 136 strikeouts over 135 1/3 IP at the high-A ball level this season. Though Bridwell’s career numbers are nothing to write home about, Kubatko thinks the O’s should put him on the 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft since “he’s also got some of the best stuff in the organization.”
Also from Evan Grant, manager Ron Washington says that Adam Rosales is performing well enough to be considered for a utility role in 2015. Rosales has started at all four infield spots for Texas this season and is enjoying by far his best season with the bat, posting a .907 OPS in 80 plate appearances. Rosales is eligible for arbitration for the third and final time this offseason.

I read that about Bridwell and just don't understand why we would be interested. A 23 year old in A ball with an ERA like that doesn't seem that good to me.

I'm not seeing why either. Maybe we WERE interested, and aren't anymore. It says he has some of the best stuff in the O's organization, but that's hard to imagine.

I'm with you. Stuff alone will usually get you by with solid numbers until at least AA, but that doesn't seem to be the case with this guy.

Good outing from Mr Baker.

I kind of like this guy.

I thought a long time ago we should let him pitch every 5th game just to see what we get out of him since we have nothing to lose. But his schedule has been all over the place. This was the first time I believe that he actually pitched on a regular rotation and he did well in both games.

Deserves another chance in 5 days

You were ahead of the pack then. And correct too.

Like you said, why not let him go every 5 days for the reminder of this season and let the results stand alone

Soler off to a great start for the Cubs. In 3 games has a double, 3 HRs and 6 RBIs. Hitting a meager 636.

Hope it's ok now.
Urinary track infection on a holiday weekend for my mother's cat. She's fine now but the poor cat is 15. Thanks for the concern, DT. Missed one whale of a game, tho. Who can figure these guys out. Probably get shut out tonight.
