huh

 

I guess we need someone to pitch for Iowa. That rotation has been in shambles all season long.

He's the one who pitches like Zobrist throws right? Almost an over exaggerated over the top motion.

Yep

Obligatory post about how Bosio will turn him into a beast using stuff and things

 

If we can't fit Grimm onto the roster I don't want Collmentor to sniff it. Still can't believe Grimm has to sit in AAA after rebounding so well following a really bad start.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

of the Michigan Collmenters?

I suppose that there could be worse 6-8 starters than Cahill, Collmenter, and Matusz. Could be better, but there could be worse.

Theo is getting bored

Who is starting Tuesday? Cahill?

[Post Count Padder]

This reminds me of the Cahill signing last year, in that a guy with past success signed in a low-risk/high(ish) reward scenario.

[Tracer Bullet]

At this point, guys like Collmenter should pay the Cubs for the chance to work with Bosio for a couple days and hope to get a chance to ride this train into October and resurrect their careers.

We just traded Collmenter to the Braves for cash.

 

We hardly knew ye.

do this another 700-800 more times and we're rich

It was more exciting when we'd flip our reclamations for more exciting reclamations. Then again, it's all we had to get excited about back then.

We very likely received one dollar from the Braves for this. Keith Law mentioned a while back that stuff happens a lot.

 

Collmenter just beat the Nats today. So Theo, still finding new ways to be brilliant, just bought us a win closer to HFA for a buck. He's good.

I guess the Bosio magic only works for a little bit after leaving the Cubs

Collmenter, a 31-year-old former starter with a career 4.10 FIP, has pitched 17 innings out of the pen for the Braves this year. In those 17 innings he’s stuck out 18 batters (good), allowed 17 earned runs (bad), and served up seven homers (oh God). Against the Pirates last night, Collmenter came on in the 10th inning with the scored tied 5-5. He proceeded to give up six hits, seven runs, and three consecutive dingers.
