From this point, I guess one of Teodo, Acker and Stephan could be very close to a call up should anyone falter or get hurt.

What a mess.

CY seems to like ex-Rangers. Could a trade for Kyle Gibson or Martin Perez be a possibility?

I wonder if it was simply to have another arm for the pen today. Over the next 12 days we have 3 off days. Maybe they needed another bullpen piece right now more than they needed Dunning the next 2 or 3 times through the rotation.

Last year .309 BA and 953 OPS vs LHP, this year .375 BA and 976 OPS that's why he was acquired...

Dunning move retroactive to the 5th. He can come back the 20th. We only need a fifth starter once in that time and that could be Urena or White.

Leiter is the 27th man. So, I believe he can be taken off the roster after today and still come back in 5 days. In the mean time, we can have another reliever between his starts.

Our rotation over the next 11 days. Leaving one game in need of a 5th starter on May 12th.

Lorenzen
Gray
Heaney
Leiter

Although, not necessarily in that order.

Should have gotten more than 1 run.

CY discards a lot of quality pitching. Englert, Ragans, Slaten, Kent and now Hoopii-Tuionetoa. We still have Yerry and Hernandez though.
I have been busy so I am just now replying but for the life of me I can't figure this out. We need pitching not a scrub like Grossman. This is absurd.

Wonder how it effects the players?

Concerning Grossman: We have some dumb butt announcers.

The announcers, like close to 95% of the fans on Twitter, have to spout the company line. I understand the announcers because they are being paid to do so. I do not understand the fans that have to agree with everything the Front Office does.

Duran is 4 for 11 this month, proving himself worthy of RH DH at bats. Lol

Thought Taveras got a bad read on the ball to center. IMO should have made the catch.

Taveras is trying to make believers of some of us.
