    Who the hell makes a 5 start rehab in the minors? That's insane. You're acting like he hasn't had spring training or any type of mound exposure this year.

    Hunter Brown is a DAWG. That is all.

    If Brown can give us 8 leading directly to Abreu. Yowza, that would be ideal.

    I just can’t help but be certain that Hunter Brown was a damn good QB in high school.

    at least all-county

    Bonus points for the use of mamaluke.

    To be fair Sanchez's deadliest pitch is his change.
    They have to be keying on that. Tough to turn a 96 mph fastball wney you are looking for the change

    Scherzer made 2 AAA starts in his recent rehab from thumb stuff. You'd have to look up how many games he pitched at the complex before that.

    I know he has been better but I still reflexively roll my eyes whenever Doobie comes up to bat

    Booth said earlier he has a 45% swing&miss rate on his changeup. I'm no analyticstician, but I think that's pretty, pretty, pretty good.

    Yeah but he said five rehab starts at AAA, you just said that Scherzer had only two. So I think you just proved my point. I've never in my life heard of someone needing five rehab starts if they had pitched at some point during the season already.

    Arrighetti will absolutely be back by August 1st.

    We’ll see. Being out for 3 months typically means building back up from scratch.

    ****, I forgot today was a day game!

    Oh, look....it's 1-0. Just like every other inning in the last 2 games!

    You're saying 5 is more than 2? I was not disagreeing with you.

    As I said 2 hours ago in this very thread:

    Different injury, but a data point on thumbs:

    Scherzer went on the IL March 30
    [eta: Spencer went on the IL a week later] for thumb inflammation and made his return to MLB yesterday. I'm sure you could look up his rehab timetable re: bullpens/ liveBP/rehab starts/etc...

    Well this is the inning the Phillies would have to get to Brown, otherwise we might be looking at an eight inning shutout performance.

    Yeah but after you said he only needed 2 starts your next comments were noncommittal talking about you had no idea what preceded that. I only made the point he is absolutely not gonna pitch for an entire month in AAA.

    He just absolutely abused Schwarber. That was fun.
