So I got a bunch of pushback when I suggested We had seen enough of Taylor Scott and should send him on his way.

Well, folks, have we seen enough now?

You should back off. We need arms to cover innings. We're gonna lose, get BEAT DOWN some nights. It is what it is.

You can't just drop every pitcher that struggles. We'd have 19 year olds pitching even WORSE.

You believed him the last time he told this story.  What's changed in the last month?

Sobriety level.

I've seen enough of most of these guys, really.

I understand the notion of wanting to see if there's something there, that maybe, for once, we can be the team that uncovers a diamond in someone else's trash.  Armstrong, for example.

But I've seen enough of Scott, Eshelman, Hess, etc.

One of the main things I wanted coming into this season was for not a single actual pitching prospect to be rushed to the majors.

Welcome back Rio!  Back of the flag court.

[Moose Milligan]

Nice shot, River.

So, let's see.  Two touchdowns, two field goals vs. a safety.

Yes, absolutely. Bring them up, bring them on, bring them in, see if they’ve got anything, but remember the guys you’re giving tryouts to have already failed in another system that is better than ours, so you don’t need to give them too much leash.

I guess you're that guy that always gets what they want.

This might be the first time.

We are hitting Joe Smith pretty hard.  IF that's his real name.

Do you still want it coming into tonight? And by the way don’t we have any non-prospects Who deserve a call up in a wasted season? Bring up The #24-28 Guys on our prospect list. They will be terrible and then they will go away, but all their lives they’ll be able to say that they had those two or three days on the big team.

[Moose Milligan]

Haha, Eshelman.  We're really going for 30.

River! I just got it. The twelve words in Spanish I know.

[SteveA]

Eshelman in.  Does this mean he won't be one of the two starters in the doubleheader Monday?

If we don't pick it up soon we are in real danger of losing this one fellas.
