JP has given up two hits, a walk, and a K after two

all flyball outs so far

 

from the gamelog: Wes Timmons pops out sharply to shortstop

 

how does one pop out sharply?

Anyone else notice how well Stefan Gartrell is hitting this month?

If the SS jumps 100 ft in the air and catches it?

Can't have too much of a good thing.

Peavy with 51 pitches thru 3 innings.

He's out of the game now.

I'd still rather have Hudson pitch Saturday in Yankee Stadium than Contreras. I'll take my chances.

Worked for Jerry Manuel.

nice to see jordan danks on base a couple of times, despite no hits

 

all tyler flowers does is get on base......in the two games today so far, 1 for 1 with 3 BBs and a HBP

hudsons pitch counts worry me ...especially if he gets called up against a patient team like the yankees

Hudson at 105 pitches through 5 innings, 61 for strikes. 4 hits, 3 runs, 3 BB, 7 K's.

its early, and only 63 ABs, but trayce thompson has 3 BBs and 28 Ks....thats not too good

How do you say designated for assignment in spanish? Thanks for the memories Jose but good riddance, get him out of here.

Even if it isn't Hudson, I wonder if they would consider John Ely. He pitched tonight too, so he would be on track for Saturday.

 

Retherford hit a bomb off former White Sox prospect Dan Cortes

For impatient posters begging to see him, he's just not ready yet. Let him finish out the year in AAA then next season reevaluate him. He might stay in AAA a bit longer and gets called up later on in the year, makes it out the 5th spot in ST, whatever. It's nice to see Flowers getting that walk rate up. He and Gartrell are really adjusting well in AAA.

When our other options are Conteras, Garcia, and Carlos Torres. I have no problem exposing Dan Hudson to major league pitching for two months and preparing him to compete for the #4-#5 slot next year. What do we have to lose? If he's as confident as i hear he is, failure won't phase him, it will pave way for future victory. And if he's good? Well, that's really good for us.

Though not that unexpected. We knew he was supposed to be raw. I would have been surprised if he hit .300 with big power right out of high school.

I really would only give Hudson two starts--Saturday in NY and then the Wrigley game.

 

If he does ok, keep him going. If Garcia does well the next two starts, then I would give him the 5th starter spot after Peavy comes back.

 

I think they'll only need a 5th starter 3 games after Peavy comes back (hopefully Sep. 4-7).
