    Eyre went on the 15 day DL Eyre's still on the 40-man when he's on the 15-day DL.
  2. CaliforniaRaisin
    The assumption is that Wood was moved to the 60-day DL. No one was removed, the roster was at 39.
  3. CaliforniaRaisin
    This ballpark SUCKS. That was entertaining, though...
  4. CaliforniaRaisin
    Peoria has now lost seven in a row.
  5. CaliforniaRaisin
    I agree with Outshined. He doesn't throw hard (mid-80s FB, also has a curve and change), but I think he'll at least get some time in the bigs as a reliever.
  6. CaliforniaRaisin
    So a flyball to the outfield will score him. Now it won't...

    Who said anything about awake and coherent? Awake, anyway! :D Thanks for the lineups, Bruce -- and your excellent articles, as always! Agreed. Thank you very much, Bruce!

    O'Malley features a mid-80s FB, a slider and a circle change.
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    I don't understand why you think it'd make more sense to have Miller start. He has no future with this organization. Why waste a start on him when we can give O'Malley a look? Because eventually Wade Miller will be starting for the Cubs, whether we want it or not. And I'm not the biggest O'Malley fan.
  10. CaliforniaRaisin
    Cut it out, guys. I was referring to Wade Miller. Ryan O'Malley's 2006 stats at AAA Iowa. Ryan O'Malley's career minor league stats. He was signed as a non-drafted FA in 2002 out of the University of Memphis and has made 46 starts over 5 minor league seasons.

    That is interesting but they play fewer games in Japan and it doesn't appear that Rotoworld is taking that into account. For instance, Matsuzaka has throw 1,967 pitches in 18 starts this year, which is a about 110 pitches per start. Zambrano has thrown 2,265 pitches in 26 starts, which is about 87 pitches per start. Livan Hernandez has thrown 2526 pitches in 24 starts, which is about 105 pitches per start. Just for clarification, Z has thrown 112.2 pitches per start, or 2917 pitches this season. That's a good point, although pitching on 6-days rest might (not sure what a combination of 2 extra days of rest but more pitches will necessarily do) help combat that. But he'd have to get used to pitching on 4-days rest here, which might actually hurt.
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    Wow, the one time the veteran makes sense... Now Guzman has to deal with O'Malley AND Miller taking away his starts and innings.
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    So he is. Wow, Cubs. The one time the veteran would have made sense...

    For me, it's all about Saturday's during the fall. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the NFL. But I like college football a bit more. Most definitely agreed!
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Jerome pitched Sunday. Wade Miller is scheduled for Iowa tomorrow. Phil Rogers notes that Iowa is in Texas to play Round Rock, so it sounds like a done deal that Miller will get the call. Dusty is psyched! Dusty should be. One of his horses is back! Poor Gooz...

    Probable Starters: Iowa: RHP Wade Miller (WT: 1-0, 1.50 ERA, overall: 1-0, 2.25 ERA) WT: LHP Chris Shaver (5-8, 2.99 ERA; overall: 5-8, 2.80 ERA) vs. RHP Jack Cassel (4-1, 2.24 ERA) Daytona: LHP Donnie Veal (5-2, 1.40 ERA; overall: 10-5, 2.12 ERA) Peoria: RHP Joel Santo (1-3, 4.66 ERA; overall: 7-9, 5.25 ERA) @ LH Paul Fagan (4-13, 5.19 ERA) Mesa: RHP Oscar Bernard (1-4, 2.82 ERA; overall: 1-4, 4.26 ERA) & RHP Greibal Cuevas-Novas (0-0, 3.00 ERA) *Take Mesa's probable starter with a grain of salt as they shuffle their pitchers around with frequency. Miller (at West Tenn & Peoria): 24 IP, 19/6, 1.08 WHIP Shaver (at West Tenn & Daytona): 135 IP, 116/48, 1.31 WHIP Veal (at Daytona & Peoria): 131.2 IP, 143/70, 1.14 WHIP Santo (at Peoria & Ft. Wayne): 111.1 IP, 64/66, 1.61 WHIP Bernard (at Boise & Mesa): 25.1 IP, 13/13, 1.82 WHIP Cuevas-Novas: 9 IP, 10/4, 1.44 WHIP

    I think a lot of that can be attributed to the workload they're subjected to in Japan. When Nomo came over as a 26-year-old, he'd already thrown 1,050 innings in 139 games (5 seasons). After his first two season in the majors, his arm was fried. If Matsuzaka's posted this offseason, he'll make his MLB debut at 26. To date, he's thrown 1,347 innings in 197 games (8 seasons). Found this bit interesting:

    Tirado was promoted to Peoria.

    Wade Miller seems the obvious first choice. Sean Marshall pitched on rehab on Friday - 4-days rest would leave him ready for tomorrow (but he's on rehab and didn't look particularly good last time out). Jerome Williams pitched on Sunday and after 4-days rest would be ready on Friday. Jae-Kuk Ryu pitched yesterday and would be ready on Saturday. EDIT: Looks like with the Thursday off day, the Cubs were going to skip Angel anyways. :shrug:

    You guys go to sleep really early. :P Kudos to my old roommate (SF Giants fan in San Jose, CA) for texting me and asking if I was watching. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have known - I started watching in the 14th...
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yeah, I think Wade Miller will be called up. He's supposed to go for Iowa tomorrow. The two guys on the 40-man for Iowa - Jerome Williams and Jae-Kuk Ryu - went on Sunday and Monday (yesterday) respectively.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Jerome pitched Sunday. Wade Miller is scheduled for Iowa tomorrow.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yeah, it's a shame. I was hoping he'd be able to play in the AFL since he had missed so much time this season.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Mesa wins it 7-4. Haha, awesome.
