Whatever. He's complete shit out of the pen.

Hey I am 3-0 this year. That is after pulling an ohfer last year. This year I have seen Gallo's debut, Beltre's cycle, and a 12 run outburst. Great games.

Well then, get your ass back out to the ballpark tomorrow!

If they keep switching him back and forth from the pen to starting, we won't have to worry about him cause his fucking arm will fall off

He many not ever make a good big league reliever. Hard to tell at this point I guess. At least he looks good as a starter in AAA. That is better than struggling there. We will need some guys going good there for next year now that Thompson and Eickoff are gone.

He was lousy the start before this one. He falls apart at the MLB level. Can't find the strike zone.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

That Nationals have really tanked. Have fallen to 58-58.

Well, lets see if this inmate gets to run the asylum or not? What exactly would be the down side of another minor league start for him anyway?

I understand he wants to get back and help as quick as he can. He's a terrific competitor, which is part of what has made him successful. But sometimes you've just got to trust someone not in the middle of the forest to recognize a tree or two.

Only downside would probably be letting anyone else make the start, I guess? Even at 90%, he is better than our alternatives IMO. I bet he talks his way into the rotation without another rehab start.

I'm sure the only way he gets to come back is if the staff says he's ready

ha ha ha.......I had no more than sent this post and I thought, "someone is going to point out exactly what you just did, and there isn't a retort one I can come back with."

Well, I hope you're correct. Of course there's the case of Beltre to consider too.

 

[donaldson79]

Whew......Can't coach speed.

 

[Bmurph]

Why can Gallardo not have a clean first inning?

 

[donaldson79]

Sumbitch that kid can fly!

 

[donaldson79]

Gallardo has gotten where he's so undependable. It's just one long inning after the next, and one tough outing after the one before.
