I hope you aren't saying the Rangers and Diamondbacks weren't the best two teams.Mathguy64 said:tjack16 said:

It's the two best teams meeting for the title. That doesn't happen that often.

Discomfort needs to be dfa'd from the 40 man roster

Good morning to everyone but Chicago, #WhiteSox fans and anyone not down with @cesarsalazar34. Pressed into action, he came up clutch and complimented a suddenly-dominant again Hunter Brown nicely. Rubber matinee today… #Relentless🤘🏼🔥 pic.twitter.com/oGHA4KDcqp

This doesn't really seem like a team that's going to need to worry about-tie breakers all that much.W said:interesting how the tiebreakers impact the numbersBadAggie said:

right now...the 'stros would lose the tiebreakers to the Mariners, Royals, and Twins

So it's gone from "doing fine and expect him to start" to "yeah it's not as good as we thought"
They need to bite the bullet, put him on the IL retroactively and call someone up for a spot start. Do NOT try and move someone up a day.
1.74 ERA & 0.823 WHIP in 60 inning across A+ & AA.

When you predicted this I said "find someone on the 40". He's not so someone else hits the 60 day or gets DFAed.
And oh by the way for those counting we have 8 pitchers on the 60 day IL. If/when Garcia and LNJ come back that means 2 more have to get released. Or I guess put on the 60 day.
We have a 40 man mess right now.

Yall are thinking Hensley as in David Hensley. I am talking about the former tu pitcher, Blair Henley, who got called up for a spot start and then lit up like the 4th of July.EastCoastAgNc said:tjack16 said:Farmer1906 said:

As long as Dana Brown is here, we should expect to see this fairly often. When he likes a player, he's very aggressive with promoting and challenging them. He LOVES Jake Bloss.texasaggie2015 said:
I also still believe with 90% certainty we'll see Jake Bloss in the big leagues sooner than later. And by sooner, I mean really soon.
