  1. The first thing any and all players should do before being called up is demonstrate that they are ready.  It is not useful to pick an arbitrary time to call them up.  Once they are ready, we can debate service time issues.  Remember everyone laughed when it was said Eloy needed to work on defense?  He got hurt on a awkward defensive play.  Robert needs to play, adjust to breaking balls and learn how to run/steal/slide without hurting his hand.  Madrigal just moved to AA.  Vaughn hasn't even signed yet.  Who knows how he adjusts.

    Kind of curious to see what will happen next year with Dunning and Rodon. If Dane starts in AAA and dominates,  and is ready to get the call around the same time Rodon is ready to come back,  would they put him in the pen? Assuming everyone is healthy and performing, wont bea spot in the rotation with Cease Kopech Gio and Lopez and Rodon.

    Lol, just realized 4 out of 5 of those starters will have had tjs 

    A short year or two ago, we looked liked we had a ton of starting pitching.  If anything the rebuild has reinforced to me that "you never have to much pitching"!  As you noted 4/5 and 5/6 of our best have had TJ.  I am glad other prospects are emerging but people will get injured or fail.  Gio and Rolando look better but I am not ready to proclaim them fixed. Cease Kopech Dunning haven't even gone thru growing pains.  Rodon I hope heals quickly and stays healthy but you can't count on that anymore.

    I know he just got promoted to Birmingham, but I would love to see Kubat get promoted to Charlotte sooner than later.

    Man the pitching staff at AAA and line up at AA are really struggling.  Heck he may get a shot before long.

  4. Kubat 26 yo lhp.  Third start at AA.  All seven innings.  gives up first run so   21ip 14h 1r 0w 17k.  Could we get some info on his stuff?  Could we pretty please have a late bloomer on our hands who becomes something?

  5. Book spoiler:  Clear departure, at the well the witch told Cersei that her children would die and she would die at the hand of her younger brother.  Part of her hatred of Tyrion but Jamie was born after her(twins) making him younger also.  I/many thought Jamie would complete his redemptive arc by killing her.  Since neither brother did it was a clear departure.  

  6. This is common in teaching hospitals.  They will stagger start cases.  The fellows or residents (who are doctors) will often open and close the wounds.  The primary surgeon performs or directly supervises the critical portions of the surgeries.  I have seen this all the time at multiple facilities.  Major name heart surgeons often have rooms start about every hour and are present when the actual surgery on the heart is performed and the heart restarted.  Fellows handle much of the open/close.  I would imagine the same for major orthopedic surgeons ala Andrews etc.

  7. Stephens has been bad this year.  Looked like a guy who might get up this year prior to this years poor starts.  Great start to this game 8 pitches, 2 k's.  Hopefully figured something out.

  8. Odd that Fulmer didn't get the win.  Was pitching when they got thru five(came out after six) they were ahead and 2.1 innings with 1 run so wasn't completely ineffective.

  9. I think I saw in an Athletic article that since Collins and Zavala were both going to AAA that each said they were willing to play first so both could be in the lineup.  If so it makes sense to get some practice there.  It has been said nowhere that he is moving there permanently.  When other teams do this, they are praised for enhancing positional flexibility.
