so if we send Okert down to AAA, who comes up? Do we have a left reliever ready?

 

[Stokes1931]

I don't think there is a lefty reliever anywhere close to ready of Okert bombs.

Braulio Lara?

Irrespective of who the G's call up, I doubt the guy they cut loose/send to the bullpen will be Cain. He makes $21M this year and next before a $7M buyout in 2018. I can't see them eating the contract this early.

Unless he's just awful. Like, Timmy 2014 awful. Even then, they held onto Timmy in 15.

DL is always a possibility. I'm really rooting for Cain; great Giant and he shouldn't go out like a chump.

I would guess that Peavy is out of the rotation and Cain is on the DL by the ASB.

So you are expecting Heston AND Blackburn to be in the rotation?

Blach??

Is McCormick hurt?

I can see Evans making a trade for a shut-down Loogy at the deadline.

Don't think they'll give up on Blach's development as a starter yet. McCormick seems about as likely as Lara but McCormick is doing better in Sac.
Interesting, Matt Lujan (another lefty) is on the dl now and the team just got Alex Torres. There's your most likely candidate right there.

I dunno I'm pretty into games where we score 9 runs in 4 innings

I like seeing our guys bubble up the leader boards in stats.

 

[tzill]

whelp, it probably doesn't matter but that was a wet fart of an inning...

Both eh? I'd think one of them makes it.

Wild guess. Nothing to substantiate it.

Yeah, but giving up 8 runs in 8 innings?

We lose > 90% of those games. Glad this one is in the 10%...I hope.

Did I mention how much I HATE these games???

That would be nice, but I dont expect it. I fully expect at least one of them to to be out of the rotation by the ASB (not sure which, though). At least one of the kids will be ready for a shot by then.

The first thing I thought when they sent Heston down was that they were giving him rotation work on the regular to re-build his arm strength to take over for PV by the ASB. I would like to see how PV would work out as a long reliever...I don't think motivation and energy will be a problem for him.

 

[Mays-Fan]

No, they can't. But, they needn't be 5.2 IP with 5 ER either. Ungood.

These are the risks one takes when one allows one's pitcher to throw 120 pitches in the previous outing.

Same here. Though, so far, he has only apeared in one game, and that was in relief.
