I thought at least Stewart and maybe also Stashak would be shuttled today to get fresh arms.

 

It isn’t reasonable to expect any pitcher to go more than 5 against the Yankees. Since the All Star break only 1 starter has gone 7 and one other 6. Some good starters didn’t make it 6.

 

They need to expect no more than 5 from Odorizzi and be ready with at least 4 from the pen. Without moves I am not sure they have are prepared.

Are they prepared even if they do make a move?

The Yankees swapped out short reliever Holder for long reliever Cortes. (They also DL'ed Sanchez.)

This was from last night's game recap:

 

 

Baldelli also noted that there would be roster moves before tomorrow night's game, but did not give any specifics.

 

There will be one, if not two moves today.

 

Stewart out for sure, probably for Smeltzer.

 

Some other moves could be Stashak for Cody Allen (would need added to the 40 man), Fernando Romero (has been real good since being off the IL), or Sean Poppen.

 

July 31st can't come soon enough. 

Neither Romero or Smeltzer have pitched since Saturday, I would think they'd be most likely. 

 

Poppen gave up 8 runs in 3 innings on Sunday

Get anyone up who can throw strikes.   Guys will get hit around but our bullpen HAS to stop walking guys and giving extra base runners.  Especially all of the lead off walks.  Stashak was a breath of fresh air.  More of that PLEASE.

 

I gues Ryan Eades did well when he was in Minn before, although he has stunk in Rochester. Maybe he's the call. Jake Reed has really been awful in AAA this year or I would suggest we try him. Just don't send Stashak back - he actually might help us. 

 

Eades is on the IL . 

 

Stashak might be a victim of circumstance not results from last night. If they need someone who can potentially throw 2 innings tonight its probably not him

Agree re Stashak -- pretty good debut with 2 IP, no runs, no BBs and 3 Ks against the Yankees.  Worth keeping him around to see what he can do.

After the game yesterday, probably went about like this:

 

 

Fernando Romero (has been real good since being off the IL)

I don't know about that -- over those 4 games, Romero had 6.1 IP, 6H, 4 R, 3 BB, 9 K, 1 HR, 1.42 WHIP. (The ERA looks nice because 3 of the runs were unearned.)

 

It's not a terrible line, but nothing too special either.

Blake Parker to St Paul Saints...

I'd try whoever we have in Pensacola that is rule 5 eligible this winter. Add em now or trade em now. 

Blake Parker on first flight to Siberia along with Gibby.

 

Neither Romero or Smeltzer have pitched since Saturday, I would think they'd be most likely. 

 

Poppen gave up 8 runs in 3 innings on Sunday

My hope is Parker DFAd and Stewart demoted. Bring up Smeltzer and Romero.

Yankees placed Gary Sanchez on the IL. Groin strain.

 

Called up Kyle Higashioka who isn't supposed to have near the bat Sanchez does.

 

Optioned Holder and recalled a lefty pitcher, Nestor Cortex, Jr.

There is now a weak spot in the Yankees lineup.

I don’t mind the idea of demoting Stashak for ten days but Stewart seems the more logical choice. Stashak is both better and a short outing pitcher in a game where the Twins need to hedge against needing a long outing pitcher.

At some point baseball just needs to expand to 28 players (look at those additional major league salaries) and they must submit a list of 25 players for each game, with no more than 13 being pitchers.

 

I think I've seen all I need to know that Stewart isn't gonna be much help.

 

I'd hate to see Stashak go back. He's not the guy for today but we could use him going forward. I still say the best hing is to IL Parker for Littel. Or send down Cave for a pitcher since he never plays any way, unless he's going down for Buxton. 

I agree. A 60 day IL stint for Parker seems in order.

Roster sizes move to 26 in the 2020 season.

 

I'm a little disappointed someone with your username didn't know that change was coming.

Yeah, he isn't going to ever be a ML level pitcher.

...

Unfortunately, Sanchez was already 0-for-10 the last 2 games, with 2 DPs.

Doogie said Smeltzer this morning:

 

 

(My guess for the corresponding move would be Stewart sent down.)

Blake Parker to St Paul Saints...

... who flip him to the Texas AirHogs (15-45 at this writing) for cash considerations. Saints are in first place and can't monkey around.

Again? You really do just want the money.

So far just Smeltzer up from AAA Rochester and Kohl Stewart back down to Rochester. Was really hoping for more.

 

When was the last time he pitched?

 

Literally, the only guys fresh enough to be available tonight would be May, Parker, and Smeltzer. Thorpe, maybe?

There isn't much more to do. Rochester is pretty barren at this point.

Without looking, I want to say Saturday.
