Moncada seemed to have re-aggravated his back again on that fly out. I hope to be wrong.

Yeah it said error originally

Flip Madrigal to the top of the lineup and push everyone back

Robert reaches on an error and Madrigal wastes no time getting him to third with a single.

Cordell didn't play last night

No

Hope TA didn't hurt his hand there. He shook it twice after getting to 2nd

Relax Jimenez and Anderson are going to hit back to back homers here

No, give them to Collins

Gregorius?

Bunt it at third base you coward

Minaya has quietly had a good last season and a half

I'm a huge Anderson fan but that's awful

This is the reason now? I didn't say to promote him and have him throw 110 pitches every fifth day. Man there a ton of reasons to keep Cease in Charlotte. Keep 'em coming. So far we've gotten service time, mental issues, too many walks, the Sox stink, he doesn't deserve it and now he may hurt himself in Chicago (something he cannot possibly do in Charlotte)

Yeah, a drunk adult and a 5 year old are perfect comparisons for the topic at hand

They're 3 out of a playoff spot. Laugh all you want (and yeah no shit they aren't winning the AL) but that's the truth, therefore they are indeed competing for a playoff spot at the moment. Unfortunately they'll be 9 out before we know it if they keep trotting out guys like you and I to start games Just like bringing up Moncada too early was going to ruin him? If Cease comes up and is total shit, it won't be because they brought him up now instead of waiting until his ERA is under 4

They are competing

He isn't in

Minaya

And the opposite for Marshall. Doesn't help that the ump missed 2 strikes. Oh well, he's due for a rough outing

Anderson got all of that one

I haven't held a bat in 9 years but I feel like if I faced Despaigne for every at bat for a full MLB season I could hit .220

They're doing to buy time, perhaps service time, and to allow more growth, but this has nothing to do with "deserved it." Despaigne fucking blows. Hell I deserve a chance more yet alone Cease. That's like saying Shields deserved a ton of starts early last year over Kopech. From a competitive standpoint and talent standpoint, you cannot tell me that Despaigne deserves this over Cease

Despaigne deserved a shot before Cease? Seriously? Eloy was called up too late. Moncada and Kopech probably too early. Bring up Cease and we'll all see which category he falls in eventually but he's going to be at worst a #3 so fuck it and make it happen now, the DET series at the latest

But Despaigne does? Everyone says Hahn won't add anyone, and if so, Cease is really the only option.
