And we're putting Jenkins in the pen why? Dumb

This was a horrible horrible game. But, Bum is so good.
I'm surprised too because the pen is coming together nicely. I'd rather Jenkins be given every opportunity to make it as a starter. I do think he will eventually be a reliever, but it is too early to make that assumption. Plus Jenkins has been doing well lately as a starter.
There are actually encouraging signs from Blair, despite what the numbers say.
He, like most young players needs to be more consistent, and I agree that little more time in the minors would likely help, but he has periods of dominance.
I believe he was called up prematurely the second time because of an immediate need not because he was ready to come back up. I believe Gant and Jenkins would have been on short rest, so he was needed. I suspect we will see him back down for a while.
Missed the game, AND found out that I have to get a root canal. Got that scheduled for Thursday.
