He made 78 pitches today so he could probably go 85-90 pitches in his next start. That's at least 4-5 innings. They may as well just let him pitch those 4-5 innings in a split starting role with Stripling, Thornton or whoever rather then giving him 1 more AAA start.8 Ks in almost 4 innings for Pearson.
That seems kinda unfair lol
Tabler is oddly fixated on letting everyone know where his kids go to college. Because tonight isn't the first time he's dived into a collegiate trivia tangent that loops around to "my son/daughter goes there!"
I loved how he seemed to genuinely think it was a story everyone would be interested in to the point he should talk about it on live TV.
Pat: "You know where he went to school?"
Dan: "Where?"
Pat: *excitedly names a school I've never heard of*
Dan: "..."
Pat: "My son went there!"
I’ve fallen a few minutes behind here but just heard that’s it’s Montoyo’s logic that they can’t afford to use Thornton as a starter because they’re so short on starters? Twice Ive made fun of Buck this year for saying that but now that I hear it’s Montoyo’s logic it makes so much more sense. Not the bad logic itself but where it came from. Seemed too bad for even Buck to come up with.
I mean... to some extent I get the logic; with so few reliable starters, you need a couple of guys who give go multiple innings out of the pen if needed.
But this is a bit more like, say, letting Britton sit and watch from the pen: you desperately need him, but you're not going to use him because what if there's a spot later on where you need him?

lol, ump wants to get out of here.
Damn, I hope this doesn't turn out to be a disastrous road trip 3-7 or 2-8.
