Well, let's see here...

 

Jones, Santiago, Omogrosso, Septimo, Thornton, Reed

 

I would assume Hernandez will be sent right back after the game tomorrow night, and they'll make a different move...don't know if Bruney is ready, or if they'll just hold off until Crain can come off the DL.

 

 

Bruney's still having problems with his hip, no word on when he'll be back, looks like at least another 7-10 days.

So, I'm getting lost here. Doesn't that leave us down a guy? Maybe Putz is coming?

 

We are down a guy in the bullpen with Hernandez and Axelrod technically starters. Hopefully Bruney is ready, if not it may be Heath again.

Hernandez is only expected to get 1 start, if all goes well with Gavin's session Friday.

 

I'm pretty sure at the end of the night WED another reliever will take his place through Sunday in DET at least (4 games).

 

If Hernandez gets knocked out early, there's always the possibility they stick Pedro in the pen for those games, but unlikely.

 

 

I'm excited to see him pitch and to see if he has anything but I'm also kinda worried this is gonna get ugly in a hurry tonight

Have same feeling the day before Arnie Munoz pitched against the Expos, lol.

You called that one totally, unfortunately you were right. Does Hernandez get sent down and other pitcher called up for the weekend until Floyd comes back?

Yup. Donnie Veal has already been called up

Nice recall! I actually felt sorry for Munoz that day. What year was that? Ozzie would not take him out, then we scored a bunch of runs later, not enough to win obviously. Not one of Ozzie's better games, either. Munoz actually made it back to the Show, pitched a game or two with Mets, I believe.

What is this now, Rookie #13 or 14 this year?

 

You knew the KW Genius Again label would only go so far. Oh, well, we learned something valuable and we'll inevitably get to see Castro or Leesman if Floyd's unable to go next week.

 

Understand why they didn't want to push Castro having just come off the DL and started on Sat. He'll get his opportunity at some point soon.

AKA the greatest game in young Juan Uribe's career (before his 2 World Series appearances).

 

He was hitting .400 around that time in 2004.

 

I also remember it because we had a great chance to win at the end and Willie Harris horribly botched a bunt attempt.

Hawk was pissed that game Arnie Munoz pitched, he was going on and on how we hear about how good these kids are and none of them are as advertised.

Yes. Munoz was listed as a very high prospect. Made me doubt our own player evaluators back then, whoever they were.

Well, sure wish I wasn't right about that one

Ed Farmer flat out said the kid wasn't ready to pitch in the big leagues right now. I sure couldn't find a reason to argue with him.
