Why did we call up Aneury Rodriguez? He has an ERA near 5.00 in 6 starts at AAA. Why don't we just keep Lyles up here?

Since we sent Jordan back down to AAA he can't come back up until 10 days pass. If Weiland is out for an extended period of time than I imagine Lyles will get his spot in the rotation next time around and keep it indefinitely.

They probably just chose Anuery for a spot start because he has been here before. I am a little surprised they didn't go with Henry Sosa though.

Ah that's right. I remember hearing Brownie and JD talk about that the other day.

And that's a good point about Sosa. I thought he looked relatively decent last year in the few starts he got towards the end of the season. But Luhnow hasn't given me any reason to dislike him yet. I'll trust he knows more than me.

if it is just a spot start Sosa would have to clear waivers before he is sent down again and it is likely another team would claim him. I'm pretty sure an-rod. Has options left so he's the best choice

For what it's worth, Aneury is pitching much better than ERA indicates.


His FIP is 3.33, and he's suffering from a .437 BABIP (unlucky).


He's striking out a ton of batters and not walking too many. He's not a bad guy to have to pitch this right now.

The problem with this team is they just can't seem to bounce back from losses. They were hitting the ball great before they faced Wainwright, and now they look like they are in a slump again.


Hard to bounce back from a loss to a Cy Young caliber pitcher when you're facing a pitcher who absolutely owns us.

Three deep outs to center for Miami. Good thing those were hit to the deep part of the ballpark.

Yeah that's what it looks like. He needs to keep the ball down.

Not a bad outing from Rodriguez at all. Timely hits. Well done. Good win.

I love this team. We are a reliever and a power hitter away from contending.

Not quite my friend. I like your optimism though.

Also realize that this time next month our Ace and closer will most likely be wearing another uniform.

JD Martinez has nose-dived since starting the season strong. He hasn't had a hit since May 1st.

I was there last night, he looks lost. His swings are so late he doesn't have a prayer in making decent contact.
