Rockies beat the Marlins in Game 1 last night, They beat the Marlins again tonight. That makes it a series WIN......for the first time in their last 22 series dating back to last September.
Except Counsell didn't start him last weekend against Lodolo, and Lodolo had reverse splits then, too.
Turner had another hit today of a lefty, and Buschy came in at got a PH RBI today. Counsell will go with the same tomorrow.
Isn't there a rule about waiting 10 (?) days after sending him down before he can be recalled? Also, Counsell mentioned his age/relative experience and calling an MLB game versus calling games in the Milb.
Sean Newcomb was DFA'd by Boston. Could the Cubs take a flyer on him, at least for a short term patch? This year, he has a 25% K rate and 10% BB rate. As a starter, he never pitched past the 5th, but he was pretty solid as a reliever.
While I'm fine with Happ leading off, I also don't think it would be a horrible idea to take him out of the leadoff spot (especially with no rehab ABs prior to his return) until he gets his swing back (or for a few games).
