  2. @RickHolman Part of the reason the BP is "taxed" is b/c most have been ineffective. Rauch/Parnell/Byrdak have been good thus they're trusted 5:58 AM May 23rd via web in reply to RickHolman
  3. @RickHolman Perhaps it will become a new trend, as the pitcher is more effective, and seemingly good-to-go. 5:52 AM May 23rd via web in reply to RickHolman
  4. @RickHolman Which reliever? 8:07 PM May 22nd via web in reply to RickHolman
  5. @RickHolman Feliciano would pitch multiple innings--and did so for years. That's the difference. 6:53 PM May 22nd via web in reply to RickHolman
  6. @RickHolman He comes in for one batter, nothing else. Pitchers throw every day in practice--it's not as if he's over-pitching (1 or more IP) 6:52 PM May 22nd via web in reply to RickHolman
  7. I know it's "just" the Pirates, but a win is a win. #Mets 6:49 PM May 22nd via web
  8. @RickHolman Byrdak is only on-pace for around 48 IP. In fact, only 5 of his 26 appearances have been for an entire inning. 6:46 PM May 22nd via web in reply to RickHolman

  11. At Los Hermanos Pollos? RT @HuffingtonPost Apple's Tim Cook meets with Samsung chief in undisclosed location huff.to/LbhsaC 1:37 PM May 21st via web
  12. @jeffpaternostro Perhaps that's because the former was supposed to be a defensive stud. 11:47 AM May 21st via web in reply to jeffpaternostro
  13. @MRJManiac With Sanchez in Triple-A, who do you think will start at 1B? 7:23 PM May 19th via web
  14. I wonder what else Mark #Melancon has to prove in Triple-A to warrant a call-up (0.00 ERA, 0.69 WHIP, 14.5 K/9, 0 BB). #RedSox 7:15 PM May 19th via web
  15. BREAKING: Dusty Baker makes Aroldis Chapman first base coach. #Reds 6:08 PM May 19th via web
  16. How much would the #Giants overpay to acquire Dan Murphy to play 2B right now? 7:15 PM May 17th via web
