Wed, Sept 2 in Minnesota instead of the 8/28 start in NY then.

We need him and fast. Rios has been OK but hasn't exactly cured us of our .500itis.

I know everyone's anxious, including me. But there is no reason to rush him.

If he's able to throw 80-90+ pitches in AAA he can throw 80-90+ pitches in the majors. The mound is the same distance to home plate, I believe. Even if he's not completely in a groove yet, he's still probably better than our alternatives at that point.

Peavy was at the ballpark today according to Cowley. Might have been their to talk to Coop about his progress.

I don't think they'd be that cruel.

 

I think September 4 is the earliest possible first start for Peavy. Hopefully the Sox will still be in it then.

We need him to be 100%. I would entirely be in favor of letting him wait it out until next year if need be.

He is healthy, he said his ankle is fine it's just about getting his arm up to speed now.

Bummer about no rubbing it in Cubs faces, but oh well.

 

Maybe he can beat the Twins...

 

Career vs. Twinkies:

 

0-0, 2 GS, 2.84 ERA, 12.2 IP, 11 H, 13 K's, 4 BB, 0 HR, 4 ER.

I for one like no cubs match up...we don't need him running...and we don't need him longing for the dumpy confines

I'd put money on it that Peavy will be in NY.

peavy on saturday night against ny would be awesome.

 

wgn game. wife away with girlfriends for a weekend. unchecked drinking.

After tonight (both Jose and Peavy's performances), I expect him back Saturday.

Sat's game is a day game. 1:05 ET, which means the rest of us won't see it.

 

If he starts then, then 5 days later is the Cubs game, which is a problem.

They could spot start Hudson or Torres since Sept. call ups will have happened...

strange. it's listed both on the wgn america site and my dvr as scheduled to start at 1 p.m. here on wgn. the game is down to end at 4 (when the fox game starts) so there really wouldn't be the problem of competing for coverage.

 

in terms of the cub game i'm less concerned. if they don't want him to pitch that game he won't. pushing him back a day would hardly be a point of contention at that point.

Wow, just yesterday Levine was pointing at the Labor Day weekend series at home against Boston for the earliest possible scenrio in which they would bring Peavy up to start, and now after the brutal game yesterday, they move it up a whole week. Not sure I like the last resort efforts we are going through just to stay competitive within the AL Central race.

When your in a desperate situation, you act upon desperate measures. 3.5 games back on a very tough road trip is a desperate situation. Peavy had 3 minor league starts. Thats what he was projected to have. KW wanted 4. But KW also thought we would be much closer to Detroit than we are. So yeah i am all for Peavy's return on Saturday.

Cowley calling Peavy 50-50

Cowley wishes he was right 50% of the time. I dont think he's had a useful Sox nugget all year, and why he still has a job as a "beat reporter" is beyond me. Levine is so much better and he doesnt even exclusively follow the Sox, hell Chuck Garfiend is better.
