that might not be a bad idea JohnBriggs (sending thornburg down), but only if TT really starts to struggle with command and run control. If he continues to succeed they need to keep him up
-
so the brewers are playing 3 day games against the cubs after just finishing a series final day game against the pirates. have they ever had 4 straight days of games in the afternoon?
-
not sure ramy makes that play, that was pretty slick -
every pirates fan I know hates the brewers more than anything else, its unreal.
-
Yeah listening online and their brutal. Had to plug my phone into stereo to listen to WTMJ feed and watch the video on mute. It isn't perfectly in synch but its better than listening to them. Annoying voices and bad commentary. at least you guys dont live in pittsburgh and are stuck with them
-
way to go rickie!!!! [sarcasm]trade him now[/sarcasm]
-
Luc at 1B, nice!
-
he's going to pull a muscle from wang chunging too hard
-
he's stretched out as a Starting Pitcher, that is good enough reason. Gorzo will be healthy soon, put him in the bullpen instead of messing up a starting pitchers rhythm and schedule. If not him and you need an arm bring up Figaro.
-
so Molitor was never on the cover?
-
I dont understand why youre having a tough time understanding why you keep stretched out players in rotation spots. Fiers already has MLB experience, Nelson doesnt, if you're in a bind you go with the one who has had some success in the majors before the unknown. if they needed a second SP called up im sure Nelson would get the nod. Except Nelson does have mlb experience, so? 10 innings vs 152 innings is not even comparable.
-
Nelson is stretched out too, and is part of the long term plan. So why not bring up Fiers and use him out of the pen? I still don't see a downside here.

the bullpen becomes worse when you take Thornburg out of it to be a starter
-
The interesting question if (knock on wood) one of the starters goes down is whether Thornburg gets first crack at the rotation, or if they go directly to one of the AAA starters for that spot. I'm glad to see Fiers getting his command back, or a reversal of whatever his problem seemed to be in 2013. While I'd like to see him perform in the majors, I don't see any reason to upset a successful, quality rotation just to squeeze him in. It's crazy to me that this team is more than 5 starting pitchers deep. i'd rather take someone from Nashville who is stretched out to go 5 - 7 innings every 5th night vs. taking someone whose been pitching 1 - 2 innings every other night at most and is not in a rotation type schedule.
-
any word on the appeal?
-
keep him in nashville until one of the SP goes on the DL. no need to thornburg him

nothing is better than the NL central beating up on itself. -
glad to hear you had a great time!
-
maybe he's just making sure his option year doesnt vest by declining
-
oh man... he's THAT guy, huh? good riddance.
-
I was talking to a friend about this today, he thinks Weeks doesnt care about increasing his value by playing in LF, to which I agree with him on that, that specifically playing LF wont really do much for his value... but all the at bats he'll get would. what I dont want to see happen is RRR start playing Weeks every day at 2B over Scoots who has actually been making contact, and continue to let Davis/Gindl/Schafer man LF. without knowing the actual conversation this really paints Weeks in a bad light as a stubborn veteran player whose more interested in sitting on the bench and not playing vs playing out of position
-
maybe they just didnt like the guy
-
2 of 3 from the Yanks! next up 3 against Pittsburgh and 3 against the Cubs! AW YEAH!!!!!
-
this pitching depth is just incredible
-
its not mid year, its 5 weeks into the season.
