  1. What's keeping them from removing Chacin from the rotation? He's been demonstrably worse than Suter, and his slider profiles well in a bullpen role. Personally, I like Suter in the rotation better than Chacin. At least Suter has look competent at times this year. All Chacin has done is throw a ton of pitches and benefit from some quick hooks before getting shelled.
  2. You may not like Suter, but he hasn't been the problem. Chacin and Davies have been worse. Suter gave up 3 runs in 5 innings yesterday. I'd love to see longer starts, but I'll take that from a back-end rotation guy. Doesn't matter if the offense can't score, and if Drake pitches.
  3. If Santana doesn't pick things up, it is not out of the realm of possibility that he'll be optioned to Colorado Springs (if he even has them remaining). If Santana and Phillips are going to give you similar production, I'd rather have Brett's defense.
  4. Suter is not this team's issue. I know many here don't like the junkballer, but he's been just fine this year. Chacin and Davies, actually, have been a lot worse, save for Davies' start against the Cubs. Hard to win games when the offense can't get out of its own way.
  5. And they go with Drake, who proceeds to get slapped around. By Scooter Gennett. Because this team hates me I guess?
  6. He was good in his last start as well. It seems that Counsell is going to just have a quick hook with him. He's looked much better than Chacin.
  7. I don't know if that is right. I found this: "3. As long as the player did not appear in a game during the retroactive period (including "official" MLB Cactus League or Grapefruit League games or other MLB pre-season exhibition games), an MLB 10-day DL assignment can be backdated up to three days." https://www.thecubreporter.com/book/export/html/3538 there is no limit to how far back they can go. http://m.mlb.com/glossary/injuries/10-day-dl Players may be placed on the 10-day DL "retroactively," meaning the DL stint is backdated to the day after the last date on which the player appeared in a game. For instance, if a pitcher is diagnosed with elbow inflammation on June 4 after feeling soreness during his June 1 start, he could be placed on the 10-day DL on June 4 retroactive to June 2. In that case, he would be eligible to return from the disabled list on June 12. Pina's DL stint was made retroactive to April 13, so it appears the 3-day limit is correct. Otherwise they would have made it retroactive to the 11th.

I saw that as well, but it doesn't actually say anything about a retroactive limit, and the examples they use are only 1 or 2-day instances. I think there is a limit, though. I don't know if the link I posted is 100% correct. but I am almost certain there is a limit to how far back you can backdate a DL stint.

  10. Cool move! I love it. Maybe a little early in his development, but let's see if the young guy can play. He has been great with bat this year, and supposedly has made great strides on defense as well. I wonder how far back they can backdate a DL stint for Pina?
  11. Replace Woodruff with Burnes and Gatewood with Erceg, and they would probably have interest. I like Realmuto, but he's gonna cost a haul similar to what Yelich got. There aren't many catchers out there who are young, are strong defenders, hit well and are also very athletic. I guess I don't consider catcher that big of a need, though. Pina and Vogt when he comes back are a solid tandem, and Bethancourt and Nottingham are at AAA for depth. Nottingham is finally showing how great of a prospect he actually is.
  12. Yep, lets not anoint Burnes the Messiah just yet. He may not even be the best pitching prospect on the Colorado Springs staff, as Peralta has been great and Woodruff has dealt since being demoted.
  13. I could be wrong but Hader is an all star reliever in the very near future, I think, maybe. It's just my opinion but throwing that away to see if he can start is a big risk, possibly. See no hurt feelings. I had wondered for a long time why I'd see football draft guys say... Darnold is flawed and I think he's worth the 15th pick in my mock but he's also very good and could go with the top overall pick. I thought they were wishy washy hacks who talked out of both sides of their mouth because they didn't know anything... but I've learned its to appease the proofers. You are right. I didn't think it through. I don't have to. I know the team needs good starters. I know Hader is a great arm who has had a lot of success as a minor league starter. Pretty easy to connect the dots. Patronize me all you want, but I'd love to see Hader in the rotation at some point.
  14. Except in Milwaukee where "day to day" is actually week to week and they don't mind playing with 22 or 23 man rosters. Pina hasn't played in a week and they haven't brought up a catcher. Ridiculous. 100% right. The whole reason for the 10-day DL is for this reason, yet the team refuses to utilize it. It even took 3-4 days of Yelich sitting out before they decided to DL him. Why have depth and refuse to utilize it?
  15. LOL, it's gonna be as long as he's in the pen. Also, I think speaking in absolutes doesn't do you any favors
  16. Freddy Peralta with another nice showing today for Springs. He's starting to put himself in the conversation for a potential call-up sooner rather than later.
  17. Will be interesting to see how they do against some easier competition. Cards/Cubs/Cards/Mets was a pretty rough schedule after the opening series. Now with Reds and Marlins this week, they should be able to right the ship.
  18. That last one was different. Right down the middle at 88. Would have been the BP Fastball.
  19. Ugh ... I mean I didn't have a great feeling about this game, but that's still a bummer.
  20. Wow, Bandy completely gave up on strike 3. Vogt can't be back soon enough. At least he can give you a decent at-bat.
  21. So far so good for Dan Jennings. He's been one heck of a pick-up.
  22. Nice to see Braun getting a PH appearance. Maybe it is just a day off?
  23. And that is why Santana likely isn't long for this team. Terrible approach.
