Around SBN: Falcons and Chargers Recap: The Win Is The Thing Bar-right-arrows



Bring up Hughes

Phil Hughes pitched well tonight in Scranton's 3-2 win over Buffalo. Why not let him take over Ponson or Rasner's spot in the rotation? If he sucks, so what? At least he'll be learning in the Bigs as opposed to Ponson and Rasner who at this point are just taking up space. They have no long term future with the club. Hughes does.

 

- Not to pile on Arod (who had a solid game), but Tyler Kepner pointed out that he hasn't driven in a runner in the playoffs since Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS. 38 runners have been on base since then, none of them driven home by Alex.

 

- Three runs or less counter: 56 games (42%). They're not even giving themselves a chance to win in nearly half their games.

Call Phil up

I’m so sick of seeing Rasner and Ponson. Plz bring Hughes up, Travis makes a great point by saying he could gain some experience in the majors too.

well

i just think that even if Hughes sucks, it will be better than watching Ponson/Rasner suck bc he’s still in the learning phase. the aforementioned duo are what they are. they’re not getting any better. i’d rather watch a team of up and comers lose than ‘experienced’ vets lose. the up and comers will get better. not so for the vets.

Also

Any innings we can add to this year increase the amount he can pitch next year and beyond.

Tonight was the night

when “outside shot at the playoffs” turned into “not a snowball’s chance in hell.” Girardi knows that, even if he won’t admit it to the media. So does Cashman. We’ll see Phil soon.

Makes sense

Plus the next time he’d be able to start on normal rest would be Sept. 1 anyway, so no roster move would even be necessary.

Cue the fat lady ...

Bring up Hughes, bring up Ajax, bring back Billy … It doesn’t matter anymore. Get ready for some big and necessary changes to this enigma of a lineup.
