    Why are we bringing Blair up?

    Don't like this move at all ... he's actually coming off two pretty decent starts at AAA; so now we are going to interrupt that and bring him so that he can pitch occasionally out of the pen in a season that isn't ending in a playoff spot anyway?

    Really don't like this move on the surface.

    Isn't it PTHS (Post Traumatic Harper Syndrome)?

    Also Preparation H stocks went up after Julio bought all the merchandise in the Atlanta area. I guess Harper got some of those proceeds. They make a great AD together.

    Agree. More of the same with Blair's treatment. they should let him get comfortable down there.

    I see that this thread has devolved into nothing but a Blair bitch project.

    It is Blair's day to throw; figure on him return to minors tomorow. Need to have a long relief arm for this game.

    they explained it on tv. Blair was brought up in case a long reliever was needed since Collmenter went 3 innings yesterday and Jackson had pitched 3 days in a row.
