    Are you sure that having Pecko and Ullola pitch in the MLB the best thing for their career dvelopment?

    Ullola has the stuff but is struggling in AAA. From today's game

    Why the hell would you leave him in the game?

    I know they're desperate for innings, but still?

    Bright spot about Lance: final year of contract.

    I vaguely remember Bubba McDowell playing a few downs, barely able to lift one of his arms. All LMJ had to do was pitch without a fingernail.

    Granted, I can't recall whether that affected the Oilers or not that game.

    Could Bubba McDowell throw a curveball?

    We didn't get swept so this is a good outcome for us.

    It's been way, way more over than this.

    Remember the late 80's / early 90's?

    Bubba McDowell was a safety for the Oilers, right?

    If I'm remembering right, he went to the same H S. as me. He was a couple of years ahead of me. I may have graduated with his little brother.

    Merritt Island H S. in Forida.

    But I may also have this completely wrong. My memory is crap these days.

    Gotta see if I can find out.

    No, I’m not sure at all

    I was replying to a post that said DFA Lance would create a spot for them to be in MLB, and in my opinion there has been available spots for them since week 3 if that’s what our baseball people think is best for them

    He couldn't move his arm over his head. If he knew how to throw submarine style, maybe.
