1ip 0h 1bb 3k for maples...welcome back.

his command/control wasn't exactly sharp, but his slider was confusing the hitters...and a 97-99mph fastball backing it up doesn't hurt.

it's probably a good idea to give him a fresh inning and see if he's "got it" that night without putting a couple guys on base in the process...also, the catcher needs to be quite limber for that inning...

IF you think about it, only two pitchers in the rotation have had much success in the last 6 weeks. Its surprising they are only 2.5 games back.

In an interview with USA Today's Bob Nightengale after being fired, Chris Bosio claims he used the word "Spider Monkey" in the coaches' room of the clubhouse when referring to (white) LHP Daniel Stumpf ("Spider Monkey" is apparently what Bosio calls Stumpf because of the faces Stumpf makes when lifting weights) and was overheard by an African-American clubhouse guy who was offended by the name and filed a complaint. 

Bosio says Tigers GM Al Avila told him that he was being fired because MLB has a "zero tolerance policy" with regard to offensive comments/insensitive language.  

Bosio says he is "shocked" and "crushed" and may take legal action in response to what he believes was a "wrongful termination" by the Tigers. 

Bosio also mentions in passing that he and the offended clubhouse guy have been making "fat jokes" about one of the club's athletic trainers all season and that it's no big deal, it's just baseball.

On one hand, sure, it could have been an honest mix-up.

On the other hand, we're only hearing and likely only will hear Bosio's side of it, and he has every incentive in the world to cast himself as the victim of an honest mix-up.  And Gyeh, if I had a dollar for every time someone uses the defense Bosio uses, of "it couldn't have been racist because it wasn't the N-word..."  Usually a good tip-off that the person's understanding of workplace dynamics hasn't evolved past about 1965...

Stumpf has no knowledge of Bosio or anyone else ever calling him spider monkey as a nickname.  If any one wants to rush to Bosio's defense that this is just what he calls Stumpf, now would be the time to do it.  Silence, so far...

    Hi Arizona Phil!

    Exciting to see Naz Mule in box scores a few times. What's his stuff like now after the TJS?

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too.

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled.

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion
