Sean Newcomb: No Hitter Alert (7 hitless, scoreless innings so far)

[TroutField]

It would be wicked to have him in the bullpen down the stretch. It seems like really good playoff teams have some random high touted rookie and do really well in the postseason. David Price, every cardinals bullpen arm basically, etc

[Inside Pitch]

He's 22 years old and has averaged over 90 pitches a start this year. He was at 61 pitches.

 

And every inning his pitches established a new career high...  thats the only reason I can imaging why they took him out or they were worried he'd be thinking about the no-no and injure himself trying to throw a ball through a wall.  

 

Anyway, it's unlikely they would have let him finish the no-no.

He will be a September call up and if he dominates out of the pen down the stretch and they straighten the ship and make it into the playoffs they will use CJ's injury roster spot on him.

And ship cj out, I'm sure the Oracle will fly him out of here himself

Doesn't he have to be called up before rosters expand in order to be playoff eligible?

They can replace an injured player after the Sept 1st cut-off.  Same thing happened in 2002 when Frankie Rodriguez took the place of Al Levine.  He debuted Sept 18h that year.

CJ is on the 60 day DL. He is no longer counted against the 40 man roster.

[Angel Oracle]

I just hope he's getting the proper coaching in the minors.

Talent like his doesn't come along often.
