11 hours ago11 hr Martin needs to go on the IL with either a real injury or a made up one. Hitting Stewart in the head after throwing 5 feet over it on the pitch before is not acceptable. Whatever Martin's problem is let him figure it out in Charlotte.

Like someone said earlier...so soon after the trade deadline and don't have a starter to use so stuck with bullpen game in game 1 of a crucial series. Terrible indeed.

10 hours ago10 hr Thorpe had a great outing in Charlotte today. I'm not keep on needing to rely on a guy coming off TJ surgery for a pennant push, but give him a start or two and let Martin phantom IL for his "blister." I really hate the way McDougal was used since being called up. Kid sat for 11 days without seeing game action. Just seems like a total misuse of the kid. I was fine with the way the deadline turned out, but I do really fear Getz fumbled by not adding another SP to this group. Edited 10 hours ago10 hr by CWSpalehoseCWS

I’m still shocked they tossed him. Fucking bullshit.May it work in our advantage by some odd way. 😬

2 hours ago2 hr I would take my chances with a Taylor Farm salad to be less harmful over the next Davis Martin start.
