In the Athletic I asked Dan Hayes about Joe Ryan going back out to pitch after an hour delay. In response, Dan posted that he shared my concern about the risk of injury, until he found out that Ryan had been pitching some under the stadium during the rain delay. 

Thanks David!

Pitching today is different from years past. A SP has to throw 4-6 different pitch now. Back in the day a guy like Bert threw 2,fastball and curve. Throwing the slider and the sweeper will add to more SP and RP to need TJ. Also throwing up to 100 mph takes a lot out of a pitcher. Look at Verlander,he only throws that hard a couple times an outing. Ober and Ryan still need to learn how to pitch. Teams are starting to figure out that they will pitch high in zone. If they miss their spot it ends up in the seats.

I would have used the IL - 10 day.  Rest him.  Another start in St Paul is still putting more strain on his arm.  Give him vacation, let him get service time and then start him with the Twins.

Ober was on the bump for the Saints today. 5 innings of one-run ball in Louisville.
