Thames to DL.....Woodruff recalled from AAA

[FVBrewerFan]

Santana is having a hard enough time finding playing time. The last thing he needs is thames thrown into the mix.

 

Objective isn't to find ABs for Santana. He can solve that himself if he starts hitting better. It's about winning games, and if Thames and Aguilar are both hitting, they need to play.

[djoctagone]

thames started in left field for the sky sox last night and was lifted after seven innings there. one single in four at-bats.

[jerichoholicninja]

The way this offense is going, defense be damned. Play Yelich at SS if you have to.

[adambr2]

Yelich at SS, Aguilar at C would solve plenty offensively, haha. Might create some other problems.

[KeithStone53151]

I'm excited for Thames to come back, but I hope his rehab in AAA isn't rushed. I don't want to see him flail for a week while re-figuring things out.

What's the worst that could happen? We lose 15-2 instead of 3-1?

[djoctagone]

three hits (including a three-run homer) for thames in a start at first base last night. likely his final rehab game this afternoon in sacramento.

[YelichPosse]

We are about to have a great problem again...

[pacopete4]

Makes perfect sense that Woodruff pitches today and then is sent back down for Thames. We don’t need a 5th until June 20th.

 

If they want to get Santana at bats, they can send him down for someone else I suppose.

[YelichPosse]

Send Santana down to work at SS lol. Please get Sogard gone lol. I don’t know that we will see Davies back soon I really think he’s hurt more than we know.

[djoctagone]

thames started in left field today and played four innings. hitless in two at-bats, and left the game . . . presumably to catch a flight to milwaukee.

Thames activated Woodruff back to AAA

[KeithStone53151]

We should start a pool, who with the Cubs will be the first person to accuse Thames of PEDs?

[bork]

So Woodruff won't be the 5th starter on the 19th, unless someone gets hurt. Does Peralta get another shot?

Seems likely........

Cue up jimmy nelson's entrance music...or Hamels';)

 

Mostly kidding, especially with nelson.

I wonder if they will consider giving Houser a spot start? He's been pitching well in Colorado Springs, and getting stretched out again as a starter. I would imagine he could give them 5 innings/80 pitches, which seems to be about the norm Counsell is looking for out of the starters.

That is very possible. I don't think they would have him starting in CS if they weren't planning on using him as a starter in Milwaukee at some point.

[JohnBriggs12]

They have 3 choices for the 19th, Peralta, Houser or Wilkerson. Peralta pitched Sunday the 10th and he's in good form. Wilkerson's building his innings and was sharp in his last couple starts. Houser has gone past 4 innings just once and with the recent implosions in pen, he might be more valuable there.
