I'm all for giving young guys a chance but Cravy does not seem like he belongs in the rotation or has any chance to be there long term, so whats the point? No other options, I guess?

 

This is the battle for the bottom. Brewers proved to be better than Philly but can they match up against Miami.

[yfinn6]

Not that it really matters at this point, but why is Segura leading off?

[Baldkin]

Just a great inning for Braun. If he runs half as hard to that ball in the corner as he did on that double, it saves a run.

 

Then ending the inning getting thrown out at third by ten feet.

[Polish Falcons]

Looking a little deeper minors stats I suppose there isn't much choice. They could go with Burgos, or go back to Lohse. Might as well give Cravy a long leash, I suppose.

 

It's too bad to see that Thornburg and Hellweg seem to have regressed severely after being bit by injuries.

[yfinn6]

What about Davies?

[Polish Falcons]

Yes, good one. Davies seems like the next best option.

[wildcat2237]

Yes, good one. Davies seems like the next best option.

 

Probably depends on whether or not they want to start his MLB clock.

[yfinn6]

Wow this is ugly.

[trwi7]

Cravy is why I wasn't thrilled with getting Davies back for Parra. He's going to need amazing command to get big league hitters out with stuff that mediocre.

[brewmann04]

I really could not wait to see Lohse lose his spot because he pitched terrible.but now its time for Cravy to be sent down and try someone else.

[yfinn6]

At least Lucroy can't ground into a double play here. Oh, wait, he can.. let's see if he does it.

[yfinn6]

Hey, way to go Luc!

[pacopete4]

Cravy is not Fiers 2.0

 

We may now know that. Let's bring up Santana and Davies. Time to see what we have.

[TheCrew07]

I've been a Cravy fan since he was in Helena, but he's starting to make me sad.

[Lee16]

I would rather sign Bill Hall to come in and be our 5th starter instead of Cravy, this experiment is over.

[DocLuna7]

I agree that Cravy is way overmatched, but there was absolutely nothing lost and no harm in trying him out. Now we know what we have for the short-term future and he is likely not a part of that plan. The cool part about lost seasons is that we can afford to do that now instead of in a pennant race down the road.

[wildcat2237]

Offense scores 4 runs... pitching promptly chalks up 2....

 

What a nightmare. These guys are making Ichiro look like he's returned to 2004 form.

[1992casey]

I had forgotten about Cole Gillespie. It's hard to believe that he's 31. With his .796 OPS (before tonight), he's put together a pretty good string of 118 plate appearances.

[Pugger]

We were watching the Marlin telecast down here and we are certain we spotted Ron Wolf in the stands behind the Marlins' dugout! Did any of you see him there tonight?

[Outlander]

I thought it was him at first, but after looking again don't think it was.

[Pugger]

I thought it was him at first, but after looking again don't think it was.

 

Unfortunately we never saw that person again so we aren't sure.
