Wow. Saw Joaquin pitch the other night. He was consistently throwing 94-95 on the gun with his fastball (much louder pop than anybody else throwing that night for either team, including Madbum), though I have to say none of his other pitches were very impressive. Perhaps that’s why his K rates haven’t been very impressive this year, even with the power fb.

My Bucardo is better than yours.

A hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, it is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money.

Well done Waldis

Nice to see my adoptee getting a shot in the majors two years in a row, albeit probably brief in this case. Hope Joaquin ends up doing a bit better than Hinshaw. Bit of a suprise though, i’m guessing they felt they may as well get some extra relief help until they need to call up another starter. No suprise with Guzman going down for Sanchez though.

Proud parent of Waldis Joaquin!

I just LMAO after hearing that and told Mrs. Goofus. She LOL’d. “Window licker” just entered our vernacular. Gracias.

how good is the giants' starting rotation? our rotation is so good, our 5th starters throw no-hitters. uh.

Hmmm

Torres on DL = Bowker called up
Freddy Sanchez activated = Guzman sent down
Joaquin called up = Sadowski sent down

When the Giants need a 5th starter on Wednesday (assuming it is Pucetas or Martinez and not Miller) they are going to need to vacate a roster spot, right? Who gets sent down to make room?

Waldis Joaquin.

bochy said they'll need the relief help until then...

which says a lot about his confidence in Zito tomorrow, followed by Cain and Sanchez.

by sayheybk on Aug 1, 2009 9:38 PM PDT up reply actions

they needed a long mobup guy. Both Miller and Medders worked a ton of innings recently.

Basically he is insurance policy in case Zito goes 1.2, 10 hits 5BB 8ER.

by jctGamer on Aug 1, 2009 9:47 PM PDT up reply actions

Zito would never do that.

That’s it! Katie bar the door for this 79 win team is star crossed! And I am loving it.

I’d vote for Aurilia. However, Bochy obviously seems averse to doing anything more than putting him on the DL for general suckiness. Can you drop/DFA someone who’s on the DL?

The 40 man roster spot is easy. Burriss to the 60 day DL. Activate Joe Martinez from the 60 day DL.

>Can you drop/DFA someone who’s on the DL?

I don’t think so. With Garko on board, there’s no way Richie will stick once he’s “healthy.” Then again, I never imagined Velez would be back up or Waldis Joaquin would see the majors this year.
