How much must Maples suck that he hasn’t gotten a call up the last few days?

 

This is the only time Maples was passed over. All of the guys called up besides Hancock were long men/spot starters, something Maples isn’t. And I’d probably have called up Maples over Hancock.

What about Farrell and Mazzoni or whatever his name was?

Chatwood - Maples - Wilson - an appearance from Carl Edwards JR's evil brother CJ could easily break the record for most walks allowed in a game.

Guys getting called up in these situations are meant to only be here for a day. Not getting that call isn't really a knock.

Yeah I guess. But we decided to use a 40-man spot on this guy over Maples and whoever came up today is likely to get in since everyone was used yesterday. Just must not have much faith in Maples (or maybe he pitched a lot lately).

Farrell, Tseng and Zastryzny were all treated as innings eating long men or spot starters of some sort. You’re right that Mazzoni isn’t a long man but the way he was sent right back down shows he was only there as a bridge to the bullpen day replacing a Darvish, so I wouldn’t hold that against Maples either.

How come?

 

I know it's only 14 and 10 innings, but Maples is still walking everyone and Hancock isn't...and it's not like Maples has some long track record of success to where you lean his way. And both throw very hard.

Not great reasons but already being on the 40-man and Maples does have a decided K/9 and K% advantage over Hancock.
