Gary and Jim were talking about Hess on the TV last night and they mentioned that Hess hadn’t been very good recently. So maybe not.

Other than a 6 inning no hitter, when has he ever?

I think they were sad because they were hoping he’d be better.

Wish he was a lot better.

Hoping Tate sticks in a relief role. Could help slowly improve the pen

I wanna say this is the first AA callup they've made this year. Not exactly Elias's style but they need arms. I'm guessing they hope to not get him in a game and option him right back down, but we'll see.

Seems like Tate would only be called  up because he is on the 40 man roster.   He hasn't pitched at AAA yet.   He may not be up for long.

Exactly, he's on the 40.

Eager to see if the advancements he's made since moving to the pen work in the majors.

Same. An interesting call up for once!

See if he is worth keeping

Phillips is awful. He’s just a warm body.

But Tate May be something. Look forward to seeing him in action.

Me too. If he turns out to be a high-quality reliever, maybe the trade will end up working out after all. And we are almost certainly going to get to see him in tonight.

I am very sour on Phillips, however. He shows up, he’s terrible, he goes back down, until the next time he shows up and is terrible. I would rather have seen almost anybody else.

By my reckoning, Fry is the only guy who pitched last night who might possibly go tonight.   So unless Wojo + Fry can cover 9 innings (or 8 if Angels win), we will probably see both of them tonight.

And Wojo is coming off a career high in innings pitched and 100+ pitches, in 100 degree heat, with the added intensity of having a no hitter on the line.   I honestly don't expect greatness or length out of him tonight.

Admit it, you just don't like that he uses two L's in his name.

I'm the same way with all those Steven's who don't spell it the correct way (Stephen).
