Romero will be on the next flight back to Rochester - not sure we will see him again.  

[TFRazor]

 

How about we trade Romero for Brennan? They both need a change of scenery.

You know the minute we do that Romero would turn into a world beater

[drock2190]

Romero's light bulb sure hasn't come on.

 

Remember him dominating in the minors?

We joke but this kind of deal wouldn't surprise me with this front office

[d-mac]

So why was Eades sent down for Romero? Eades has been downright competent so far.

[USAFChief]

 

Glad we got the 4 pitches from Morin - don't see why we didn't leave him in for the 8th and bring Romero in for the 9th

I think asking Romero to pitch 2 innings, with a 9 run lead, and preserving the rest of the pen, such as it is, is a pretty reasonable decision.

 

YMMV.

[TFRazor]

Why did we send Eades back down? Dude got 5 outs and only gave up two hits.

The Mariners would run to the phone to make that trade. Romero is 3 years younger and has a lot more potential. 

[MNT1996]

They needed fresh arms

[GCTF]

No worries..."Lights Out" Magill's got this.

[Blake]

 

At least Romero looks good.

I took a look at Romero's numbers at the MiLB web site, per something you mentioned, and quickly understood why he wasn't up. And, much to my surprise, Romero's up with the MLB club. Of course.

Great minds

[TFRazor]

 

 

They needed fresh arms

Technically it was an arm

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Been a well played game by the twins so far!

[SwainZag]

Good christ

[GCTF]

 

To be fair, this is a pretty stressful, high leverage situation Romero has been thrust into.

Remember when he was FERNANDO ****ING ROMERO?

[woolywoolhouse]

Let Wes Johnson pitch!

[MVP Nick Punto]

Been a well played game by the twins so far!

We do have lots of runs.

[d-mac]

They needed fresh arms

So Eades goes down for 10 days?

[USAFChief]

You know the bullpen situation is pretty dire when people are questioning why Ryan Eades got sent down.

 

Ryan.

 

Eades.

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Why wait until July for bullpen help? We could use the help now.

[TFRazor]

How is a 7 run lead this stressful?

[USAFChief]

 

Remember when he was FERNANDO ****ING ROMERO?

Remember the last time I got excited about a minor league pitching "prospect?"

 

Me either.

[Puckett34]

If he's available, I'd almost give Taylor Rogers the 9th 

[TFRazor]

Ryan.

 

Eades.

Shutdown relievers have to come from somewhere

[Blake]

Woot, an out!

[MNT1996]

Me either.

 

We do have some talent in the system but unfortunately a lot of it is in A or A+ ball

[MVP Nick Punto]

Woot, an out!

w00t, that takes me back.

[Blake]

Good grief, put the ball over the plate!

[TFRazor]

Don't Walk a run, don't walk a run
