I honestly have no idea what s Blach is doing in the major leagues.   His ERA was over 12 in August.    That warrants a promotion?

Not just a promotion.   He's starting tomorrow.

Has to be due to the DH tomorrow I would think. They need a starter. 

Who else do they have?

I’ve been working all day, did Shepard get called up?

Who is getting cut in order for Williams to get a 40 man spot?  Carroll to 60 Day DL now that Trumbo is activated?

Eshelman was DFA'd to make room for Trumbo on the 40.

They have not announced the 40 man move for Mason Williams yet.

That's a great idea actually.

I'm surprised they didn't put him on the 60 day IL earlier. Luis Ortiz could also be another one.

I have not heard what they are doing with Taylor Scott.  He could be the one they are DFAing for Williams.

Between games of the double header, DFA Blach and add Williams.

It’s just funny that Blach is still in the majors.

And Chris "Funny/Not Funny" Davis

Maybe they'll release Chris Davis. That would make Mason Williams the MVO for 2019.

10 players on the 40 man could be DFAd and nobody in baseball would notice.

I don't find it funny.   It seems like a poor decision.   One of the reasons to have sooooo many relievers I would think is so they could have a bullpen day when needed.

Blach as a 12.15 ERA with the O's and a 16.88 ERA at Norfolk. Does that equal a promotion?

So far I count 6 starters and 13 relievers.  I don't know how they intend to get that many pitchers innings enough to be effective.

Weams told me yesterday that Elias is not influencing field play.  The call up of Blach seems to tell a different story.

This made me spit out my coffee. Haha. Good one. Not giving you a hard time. Just the state of the pitching.  The lineup ain’t half bad though.

With Blach starting it probably will be a bullpen day. 

He was our 5th starter for a couple of weeks before he got sent out. Before him they had Eshelman.  Ynoa had a chance.
