Kinda like Lowe, I think they want Hernandez, Church and Tinoco to log some more innings at AAA and be consistent with those innings. Hernandez and Tinoco have only pitched 8.0 innings, and Church as pitched half that at 4.2. That, and coupled with the fact that we are due to get Bradford back next week and then Scherzer in early May, it feels like they are waiting to make more major/permanent moves until a little further down the road, whether that's right or wrong.

Leiter already optioned to RR.

We at least need some innings / outs from heandog today. He hasn't had a good start all year. He's due.

White called up in his place. Probably would've been Hernndez had he not just pitched last night. Would think they swap in the next day or two.

That's the feel. They are cycling some guys and waiting for more permanent moves.

OWhite getting a look probably supports that. Let Hernandez continue to take a slow road back so that you don't tire him out before the ASG.

You don't want to take winning or games for granted, but now is the time to learn what else you have and not exhaust your "go-to" guys.

I wonder if Ragans' success has given CY a different PoV. LoL

His baseball savant page is kinda silly.

Big series. I don't think winning it is necessary, but being competitive in every game would go a long way.

MARCUS

Not a bad start

Marcus oh Marcus!

HE WAS OFF!

Definitely off the bag

Wonder if there's an angle that shows his toe?

Commercial had taken too long I doubt we challenged

Hozed

That's criminal holy hell.

The fix is in. That is horrendous

Should've been overturned but I wouldn't have challenged that.

I'm not sure I've seen a more obvious off the bag.

0-2 against umpires already

This. The outcome of that play likely would not matter whatsoever. Not worth risking it.

I get this, but I thought it was blatantly obvious. So I won't fault them for an obvious play.

Barf, Heaney. Throw strikes dude.

Heaney ain't it

You can't miss like he does. He's the Leclerc of the rotation.

What channel are we on tonight?

Apple.

Fart. Booooo

Heaney does not miss bats

Heaney is an actual trash can.

Think Smith could have gotten him at the plate there

Heaney: 35 PC through 1

So short outing #4 in 4 starts. Bullpen going to get lots of play while he is a starter.
