RG, calling up Chacin to pitch middle relief..

is like replacing your gas guzzling pickup truck with a sleek Ferrari because it gets an extra 2 MPG. Tracy might drive it to work everyday, but soon he’ll start taking it on milk runs to the grocery store, and then before you know it he’s taking out his wife to the opera wearing Dolce Gabbana.

He had a very solid start last game.

Wainwright came up as an emergency reliever

after starting in the minors. And was sensational.

There are a lot of such precedents, and I like trying Chacin like that.

Sandy Koufax started in the bullpen too..

I think Chacin was called up to put pressure on Hammel in addition to filling in the BP gaps.

Wait a second..

With Happ going tomorrow and then Lee the next day..will CarGo and Stewie start all series?

by CentralCaliRox on Aug 4, 2009 7:45 PM MDT reply actions  

CarGo probably not...

Stewart? I don’t know. I think Helton will probably get a rest one of these two games.
