[CaliAngel]

SEE?! 

That's why Schanuel doesn't belong in leadoff.

[DMVol]

Tucker isn’t very good.

It might annoy people because it's not typical, but I absolutely love the Ron visits to the mound.

[Halo in Chicago]

Way to fight thru, Joyce. 

[eligrba4ever]

A successful opening act for Ben Joyce!!!

At the Oracle Park in Tucson, it's 100 degrees right now. The hat would help there.

[Ochocinco!]

Great job Joyce!!!

[Angel Oracle]

Struggled with control to end the inning, but Joyce battled through it.

With Soriano’s switch a success, you wonder if there might be some thought to stretch Joyce out….probably not, let him focus on relief work for now.

He supposedly has a four-pitch starter's repertoire, so who knows?

[jsnpritchett]

Silseth went 5 innings at Salt Lake today.  7 hits, 3 BB, 4 K, 3 ER, 1 wild pitch, and 2 pickoffs. 

[jsnpritchett]

I hope Washington actually means this.

 

[No Roles]

it's hard to believe Joyce couldn't try and go 3 innings? I doubt he really has a major pitch count ! 

[jsnpritchett]

Suarez bein' Suarez.

[Halo in Chicago]

Suarez is such a freaking buzzkill.

He threw 42 pitches today and 27 two days ago.  You realize he's not actually a starter, right?
