Sanchez will probably flame out at some point, but for now he looks like a solid back end SP.

Or could be "someone sitting on their bed who weighs 400 pounds."

He may end up mysteriously getting Josh Ravin's viral infection in the next 18 hours.

Yeah, looks like he threw 36 pitches on Friday (currently at 27 tonight). He needs to be on a short leash in the 6th, but I'm okay seeing if he can get another out . . . or two . . . or three.

Man, hats off to Carle. Baseball is just nuts. The guy you think is your most reliable SP gets absolutely blasted, and right after that the 13th option on your staff pitches maybe the most dominant innings this team has seen all year against one of the best teams in MLB.

Bow all over it. 979879023688994816

So far, Gape Kapler seems like a pretty self-assured rookie manager, but not a very good one.

Man, that curve was a bit of a hanger for me, but when you're pounding 97-98, no one is going to be able to hit that with authority when you mix it in occasionally.

I have no idea if this new wind-up will lead to better results for Folty, but he definitely looks less cartoonish on the mound now. Velocity looks A-okay too.

Yeah, I think Josh Lucas is a good suggestion. Better short term and long term option than Shane Carle (okay, that's a lot of guys). I'm actually cool with Socolovich too as a better option. He looked good in the Spring when I saw him and did a reasonable job for the Cardinals. I think we...

!!!???!!!

I believe all teams have to submit them to the league office some # of hours before the first MLB game. So in a traditional year it's on a Sunday afternoon before the Sunday night baseball kickoff. This year, I assume that results in a Thursday morning deadline. I suspect we'll wait until the...

Biggest thing I'm hoping to see today is that we find a better bullpen arm than Shane Carle.

This is getting confusing. On Sunday, Bowman said they added Flaherty because they were worried that Culberson was the only backup infielder. Now they are thinking of optioning Ruiz so that they again have 1 backup infielder? Or maybe they are working to add another infielder? 978757535653154818

Good call. I think Adams is likely to pass through waivers. If we could get Stewart to give us a handshake deal that he'll accept the assignment to AAA when the 5th starter is needed, I'd go that route over Adams.

So at this point, the 5-man bench is probably: Suzuki, Bourjos, Flaherty, Culberson, and Adams. Once we need a 5th starter, it comes down to Culberson or Adams being subjected to waivers since both are out of options.

Yeah, having Culberson and Flaherty is the one that has me puzzled. Really, Culberson is the guy that makes the least sense at this point. We have 3 other guys on the roster that can play SS, so we don't really need much - if any - coverage there. Our 3 starting infielders (Camargo, Swanson...

Last 3 years vs LHP . . . Bourjos: 259 / 313 / 394 (707) Inciarte: 279 / 323 / 343 (665) Markakis: 261 / 311 / 341 (652)

Nice defensive upgrade from Adams, at little to no cost offensively.

Hmm, this doesn't seem like the best idea. 977594933149294592
