7 starts....

[ten ocho recon scout]

To be honest, if CJ gets his shit tohether, and weaver can tighten things up, this is overcomable. I5 obviously wont be easy.

Santiago has quietly been a stud for the last 2 months, and I think even us on here are only starting to notice. Shoe is solid, weav is solid. Cj is the key...if he just gets back to who he was at the beginning of this year, we're still in business.

Liking the street trade more and more....

who is the best, most overpaid pitcher available?  get. him.

It was Hamels.

[nando714]

Bartolo is the big piece

[nando714]

Bartolo hasn't even been placed on waivers

We have to hope he clears

[laagamer]

It really takes that long to place a rejection call?

 

I figure it might take time to clear up Dipoto's schedule for my BP session 

[Eric]

Not sure if stupid post or troll post.

Either way: terrible post.

 

Stupid or troll or terrible posting for showing compassion for an injured Angels player who had to go to the hospital in an ambulance and saying that this discussion is far too soon to be had?

 

Maybe you ought to look in the mirror about who's trolling...

You overreacted, seriously. There's a 8-9 page thread on Richards and everybody showing concern and hoping for the best with him. Relax

[Eric]

I over-reacted?  25 words is over-reacting?  Jesus.....

You could overreact with five words.

Stupid post.

[ukyah]

The 7 starts don't bother me nearly as much as the postseason starts. 

 

exactly this. we lost a MAJOR piece of any postseason dreams we may be entertaining. seriously shitty for him, the team and the fans.

[bloodbrother]

Yeah, you kinda did. You were calling people cold-hearted, people who were all making posts in that Richards thread showing concern for him.

How in the world are you capable of not realizing that this discussion can be held while posters simultaneously post compassionately about the injury?

I assume that Dipoto was weighing his options shortly after the injury. Is that unacceptable?

Verdict: stupid and troll post.

[laagamer]

I just realized that without a day off, we can't adjust our rotation can we?

 

But championships are hard to win.

 

Overcoming adversity is the name of the game. 

[tennischmp]

As long as they have someone that can go 4 or 5 innings and hand it over to the BP with a lead, they will be fine

[Jason]

They could go to a four-man rotation for a bit if they limit the starters' pitch counts. We still have a great bullpen that could be called into extra service for a time.

Limit the pitch counts? So they will only get 4 innings from the starters?

Hand it over to the bullpen even if they don't have the lead. Individual win/loss numbers be damned. We are fighting for our playoff lives.

 

We've got lots of quality relievers in the pen who can give us serious innings. This bullpen is deep.

[disarcina]

Expect the news that Randy Wolf have been recalled from SLC -- he will get two to three starts to show what he can do with each start potentially being his last and each start possibly earning his next start........

 

this move would give the Halos a week to make a deal......but I don't see a deal coming unless we give up some low level prospects to take on a terrible contract from someone.

[disarcina]

we are really going to need the roster expansion coming Sept. 1 and stock the team with some more pen depth arms.

 

I see some LaRussa type pitching starts coming up -- Wolf for three innings, Rasmus for two, Morin for two, Smith one, Street/ Jepsen one (depends on whether its a save situation or not).

[Erstad Grit]

Dontrell Willis? 

 

 

 

 

 

j/k

[Oz27]

I imagine it will be just six starts, that seventh turn will come up after an off day before that final series at Seattle. Only way that turn doesn't get skipped is if our fate is already determined.

[eligrba]

The 7 starts doesnt bother me nearly as much as the postseason starts.  Get ready for CJ Wilson in a game 2. 

 

F*** that.

 

Hector Santiago.

[zenmaster]

We need to try for Niese or Colon. We have to pay to play now that we are in this situation.

The beard!

[Stradling]

Is there a list out there of pitchers who've cleared waivers?
