Brinson recalled, Garza to DL (leg strain)

[Fear The Chorizo]

If a trade isn't in the works before game-time and with Swarzek on his way tomorrow, the roster move has to be sending down or releasing one of the 13-man bullpen, right?

[Austin Tatious]

We could just 86 a guy like Oliver Drake to make room for Swarzak.

 

As for Brinnie, I am not sure who goes. Anyone's guess. You could punt Drake now and then hold on until tomorrow for the other spot.

[liveforoctober]

Well, if they do trade Brinson you guys can let me know who you want gone next. That would make it 6 avatars in a row traded within a year of becoming my avatar.

 

 

Lmao! Then please stop putting our good players or top prospects as your avatar!

BAAAAAD JOO JOO!!

 

Wily Peralta please.

That's what I'm thinking too. Just drop two of our our relievers.

 

A trade does make more sense and the lack of a needed roster decision suggests there is some juggling of getting something done.

I've wanted Drake out for a while and the implosion Saturday should have been his last straw IMO. He was also the guy used in the 9th last night in the blowout if that's any indication.

We need to use this power for good.

 

Edit: in the unfortunate event that Lew is traded, Peralta it is.

He wasn't exactly sharp last night either.

 

This whole thing is just very strange. Calling him up after playing 1 inning, not announcing moves. It sure seems to me like a trade is coming, but maybe it's just all coincidence and we just decided having 13 pitchers is silly.

Which in this case, to be clear, is Brinson being added to the 25-man roster for Blazek and then another move tomorrow for Swarzak.

 

THEN REPLY

I thought the same thing but ran that idea by someone (not Blazek, but a reliever generally) and was told close but no cigar.

If it was simple as just sending someone down I would think the move would have been made before the lineup was out.

[brwrsfan]

Maybe Blazek to the rotation and dumping Guerra? If it's not a bullpen guy, either someone goes on the DL or Phillips goes back down. Neither of those seems logical. A Phillips/Brinson platoon makes a ton of sense.

Yah waiting so long to give someone the boot doesn't make sense. You are trying to tell me someone is chilling at the ballpark right now and at some point just hours before the game is going to get the boot? No way. There is no need to be secretive about giving Oliver Drake(example) the boot if you know that is what you are going to do. There is something going on.

 

Either the person is already gone or they are aware they won't be around if mystery player isn't traded in time. If they are traded though they probably survive until tomorrow.

[Patrick425]

If this does turn out to be some sort of trade, especially one involving a big name, it has to be one of the best kept secrets in regards to a developing trade that I have ever seen.

[bm1090]

Garza to the DL, Brinson recalled.

[OnaBadger58]

Garza back on the DL

[Ennder]

He is in the lineup and batting 7th tonight.

Perhaps they are concerned about Nelson or someone else pulling a Woodruff and hurting themselves while warming up.

[TJseven7]

Why so dramatic?

[MrTPlush]

Looks like an open spot in the rotation right now...

haha, does that mean Verlander is coming? Maybe Gray?

[pacopete4]

I'm sorry but all this has just been too funny.

[folly412]

Guess the other fragile fellow should have been speculated in addition to Braun.

 

If they move up the rotation, a starter is needed Saturday. If they would hold, Garza was supposed to go tomorrow.

[liveforoctober]

This thread has actually been really fun and funny. Sports matter to people.

[OnaBadger58]

Ageed. So did Garza slip in the shower and strain a leg muscle forcing Brinson to leave after the top of the 1st. Just a weird 24 hours with little information.

[Patrick425]

They still have to make a move tomorrow when Swarzak joins the team...right? Maybe that's will be the Blazek being sent down move.

[rickh150]

JP Breen is full of it or is this Garza happening just happening this afternoon? Was he scheduled to throw yesterday?
