    Looking ahead, I see that Konnor Griffin, the Buccos' prized rookie, suffered a torn tendon in his ring finger which may put him out a month. They're deciding whether he plays through it or not, though, so we'll see if he plays this weekend or not.

    I know it's in blue, but Monasterio was also a good guy to have around in these situations... There are no IF guys on the 40-man that aren't already here.

    Also see that STL has Dobbins - their designated "27th man" - listed as Game 2 starter against Gasser. Looks like Zimmerman (who pitched for us briefly) is slated to come in after the opener in the first game. Cards manager said Zimmerman could throw 175 pitches today, so could be in on both ends of the twin bill - plan is probably to sacrifice him today and replace him tomorrow just to get through this series.

    Why is Greg Jones the next man up if Hamilton need to go on the IL? We need infielders...

    Their opener's name is misspelled in the thread title, but not a huge deal. I said this in the previous IGT a few minutes ago, but this is a mismatch on paper, and therefore, it'll probably go south. Bullpen is in pretty good shape if this were a single game day...

    Waiting for today's game 1 IGT, but it looks like STL is going with an opener and then probably a AAA call-up against Miz. Should be a mismatch, but...baseball. It'd be nice chew up their bullpen - they may have made a few moves.

    Gasser is the "27th man". He'll have to go back down afterwards, per the rules. Plus, you can only keep 13 pitchers on a non-DH day, so, no room for creativity, anyway. I also don't think Gasser's minor league stay has been long enough to be recalled "normally" yet. Henderson likely comes up on Thursday, so let's use Rom and Stallings as much as we can before one of them is sent down.

    Lara is a switch hitter (or so it's listed on the 40-man), so that is a one for one swap with Perkins. Me no likey having no subs (at least those who've ever played the position) available in the infield. ASB can't get here fast enough
  9. formerlybis
    Seeing Lara's getting the call, He's on the 40-man and he's listed as a switch hitter. We'll see if he's the replacement for Hamilton going on the IL or if there's another move to shore up the infield - send down Perkins? If there's two moves, send Lockridge to 60-day, too. All of the infielders on the 40-man are currently on the big-league roster. If there's a defensive specialist left side infielder in Nashville, that'd be my pick - I'd rather have the up-and-coming prospects play every day and keep developing than bring'em up and play sparingly.

    Drohan most likely has a lower ceiling, but I really like the way he battles. I believe he has the mentality to make a pretty good middle reliever, but both of them are going to be in the rotation now with Woodruff out.
  11. formerlybis
    Yeah - I apologize. I know I don't care for other sports that are pretty popular with other folks, so that was over the top
  12. formerlybis
    I didn't realize that - well, it's temporary until we need a 5th starter (likely Henderson) on Thursday. Time to wring out all we can from Stallings and/or Rom over the next 4
  13. formerlybis
    Pragmatically, with 8 games in 7 days, that's probably not gonna happen, The bullpen's gonna be overtaxed as it is. I do understand the sentiment, though.
  14. formerlybis
    Yikes. What agenda? I guess you're referring to the people at the game belittling baseball, and not me - in fact, I would put baseball way ahead of soccer in my personal rankings. But whether or not a sport is "American" is not something I ever think about, I am secure enough in my America-ness to like non-American sports.
  15. formerlybis
    True, but what I'm saying is it's more than the top-flight players. We just don't have the 100+ year history in MLS and the intense connection with the community. We do have that in our other sports (or something close).
  16. formerlybis
    I used to hold those old-school macho opinions about soccer, too. But I've come around over the last decade or so, at least for EPL and World Cup. I find the drama isn't just about the game itself - the rivalries (they call them derbies) are as intense as any of our more mainstream American sports. Certainly you see the passion that it engenders, Different strokes, but if you don't get it, and the virtually the whole rest of the world does, it might be a you issue.

    Henderson is now the likely starter, but the piggyback option is dependent on how the Brewers' bullpen looks after the first four games. Patrick (& Ashby) will almost certainly be used at some point in the doubleheader on Tuesday. If we use either of them on Wednesday, too (and maybe even if they don't), the piggyback option with an A-lister is a bit dicey. Stallings, Rom, and Anderson need to go to work over this next series. It'd be a big help if the starters could all get through 6.

    Well, we really could use Henderson now, particularly for Thursday. Drohan, Miz/Gasser (presumably), Harrison go the first four. Then we have Sproat/Drohan/Miz for PGH. if Henderson isn’t quite ready - and his rehab start was encouraging from a health standpoint, but sorta average from an effectiveness POV - then I really don’t know what they do. Crow is less ready than Henderson. Stallings is an option, but they’re going to need him in the pen in the first 4 of the Cardinals series. ETA: I just read that Murphy said Henderson's next start would be with the big club, I would guess Stallings or Rom goes down after Wednesday to make room, so use those guys up,,,

    Well, sorry you missed it. When I scrolled, every single game was listed. Our settings must be different.

    Look again - all the games today are on NBCSN on YTTV
  21. formerlybis
    Someone else mentioned it - if you have NBC Sports Network on your provider's list of channels, you can find it there. I have YTTV, and it's available.
  22. formerlybis
    I would think Crow stays down on the farm, at least until after the ASB - and I believe Gasser would be called up before him, but it's good to have that depth. Also assume Stallings goes down when Henderson is ready
  23. formerlybis
    I agree that’s the plan, but really can’t do that until - I don’t think - he makes the start on Monday. Then Henderson can take his spot later in the week. Right now, they really need the starters to eat some innings.
  24. formerlybis
    It’s the bullpen that needs rest. Simply can’t have the luxury of a 6-man rotation if your starters don’t go 6 innings every time (and you go extra innings). Need 8 arms in the pen, desperately.
  25. formerlybis
    In another thread, I said I had hope, but not expectations when it comes to the postseason. I think everyone agrees that the big-budget teams have better odds, but this is baseball. Those teams do lose.
