Given Martin's struggles, here's to hoping SOMEBODY comes to their senses and they use Touki out of the pen the rest of the way after tonight's start. If they need a spot starter at some point during the month, I'd much rather give that to Muller (or potentially even Wright) rather than using any other RH arm other than Rodriguez, Jackson, or Touki in the 7th or later right now.
Not real sure I understand adding Newk unless Snitker plans to give Matzek a night or two off over the weekend since he's been riding him so hard - SURELY they're not about to let Newk take the mound in Denver. Since they're calling Martin's absence an "injury" they obviously could bring Webb back without having to wait 10 days.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
If you somehow get another night off for Matzek it's kinda tough to find a reason not to replace Newk with Santana other than the fact that you can't bring him back until Friday because of the 10 day rule.
I'm as big a fanboy as they come - meaning I'm always Jonesing to see our prospects make it - but I'm not interested in guys like Newk and Wright being anywhere close to the active roster this deep into a playoff race if it can possibly be helped. I'm all for using them to burn innings in April, May, and June when the pressure isn't escalated, but I'm not 100% sure I wouldn't rather see Smith inherit a bases loaded situation in the 9th than have Wright or Newk pitch meaningful innings.
