Tommy Hunter Released by Indians- SIGNS with Orioles to be Eligible for Postseason.

[Redskins Rick]

"Tater"s on the list now?

Yes, if the team elects for him to be, since he was on the 25 man, but the end of August.

I like Hunter. This is basically what we wanted to do with Chaz Roe. Both are out of options. So wait till the last week of August to call them up. We just got desperate a few weeks ago and went to Roe. Then we needed fresh arms and see ya Chaz Roe.

It's funny. The same thing happened to Hunter last year. He had no options so got released around the end of July. With the way we need a "b" squad bullpen to eat innings, you better have options if you're in the 6th and 7th spots.

Hunter didn't get released. He got traded to the Cubs.

For a jump in the Lake.

With the Cubs paying what was left of his fairly big salary. The Cubs then released him.

Salary dump.

Salary dump.

Paid for part of Parra and opened up a slot in the pen for Givens.

(vs. BLUE JAYS, 8/29)

Ceded 2 singles, a walk, and 2 runs in only one inning pitched.

Was fortunate that J.J. Hardy made a great play to open the inning.

Showalter really hates Oliver Drake. Hunter 2 nights in a row just didn't have it. Everything was middle of the plate and flat. That could have been a lot uglier of an inning.

[Spy Fox]

I probably would have used Brach instead of Hunter in the ninth. Yes we were trailing but there's an off day Thursday and the odds of both the next two games being as close as 3-1 in the late innings seem pretty low.

Buck is really good about playing the number and "leverage" situations with the pen. Which should show everyone that someone so into the numbers and trends of the game, wouldn't have a team full of guys that don't like walking. That's on DD and the team construction.

I'm sure Buck would like a more patient lineup, but good teams don't have to walk a lot. Or have to do anything else in particular other than be better than their opponents somehow. The Royals are 2x reigning AL champs and were last in the league in walks both times.

Junior Lake?

[dedwretched]

That was nice of them, so he is eligible for the playoffs against a competitor and can face them in the playoffs.

Ive seen this before, but only from non playoff teams

The O's did this for Chris Gomez years ago. He ended up being claimed on waivers by the same Cleveland Indians.
