Oops  being S.W.R. Is the extra doublleheader dude he has to go back to ST.P

[Danchat]

Fun fact: Funderburk has struck out 30 hitters in 19 major league innings pitched!

Actually a team can elect to send someone else down and keep the 27th man on the roster.

I'd probably send SWR out for the seventh but it's entirely defensible to pull him. He's a young starter that shut down the Tigers offense, get him off the mound before things unravel. It's not a ridiculous way to look at the situation.

Ah, someone who actually speaks baseball in a game thread. Refreshing.

You sure about that? I'm like 95% sure the 27th man is required to be demoted. I'll start digging.

t.y.

Yep, the 27th man must be demoted after the game.

"That player accrues one day of MLB service time and is returned to the Minor Leagues following the completion of the doubleheader."

I think it may be sorta both. Brock is correct that they have to be sent down. BUT, because he doesn’t have to stay down the normal 10 or 15 days, they can immediately bring him back up in exchange for someone else, which effectively does what Lecroy is describing. 

In the case of a starting pitcher, it doesn’t make sense to do that, however. Go ahead and send SWR back down, but you can still bring him back up for next Friday or Saturday if you want, but you still have several days’ access to the guy you would send down in his place.

Right, I see what you're saying. Technically he is returned to the minors but because there is no restriction on call-ups, he could be demoted for literally five seconds and then brought back to the major league team.

[Brock Beauchamp]

It's good to see the Tigers haven't lost their mojo. Just ****ing clowning out there.

When did Carson Wentz give up football?

He hasn't. He just wants to be like Bo

[Danchat]

Great to see Sands holding firm in a high leverage situation. Also, the Tigers hitters are striking out like crazy.

[RpR]

What the heck is Santan doing, he got a hit?

Yay, Cole Sands is warming.

After a few flashes last year, but mostly frustrating… it’s pretty awesome he put it together this year (so far)

Concur..

 

And approve of the awesome.

[IndianaTwin]

Gotta like having seconds on chicken!

[stringer bell]

On the 27th man, technically the player has to be sent down, but he can stay if someone goes on the IL and can be promoted immediately if someone else is optioned or DFA’d. 
 

I’d like to see SWR get another start or two in place of Varland (maybe moving Louie to the BP). 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Are we now only a game and a half behind the Tigers?

 

Good for us.

[jkcarew]

Detroit’s a very weak team offensively. Still…2 earned runs in 21 innings!

Lotta pitchers stepped up today.

2/3  right, 

[Danchat]

I definitely did not expect 7 straight outs from Sands to end the game... groovy!

Great job getting both wins today when it felt like they were listless yesterday. Them's the ups and downs of the baseball season.

[Mike Sixel]

6-7 without Lewis and more road games than home....

Uh, there is way too much season left to not keep Louie stretched out.

SWR will be back up, but Louie needs to be a starting pitcher (either in St Paul or Minneapolis)

[IndianaTwin]

Beautiful job by SWR. With it and with the efficient bullpen work, no relievers enters tomorrow’s game having thrown more than 32 pitches in the past two days. Guys will need to go back to back, but everyone besides Funderburk, Jackson (both through yesterday and today) and Sands (28 pitches today) is probably available for at least a batter or two. 

Since I put in a request earlier for SWR to go six innings, I’ll go ahead and request that for Ober for tomorrow. 

[stringer bell]

Honestly SWR got charged with an earned run, but without his own fielding mistake, it would have been six scoreless.

With Paddack pitching limited innings, have Varland available for multiple innings would be helpful IMHO.

I think Tim Laudner may actually be a Skrull.

Context we all forget about, but now down Correa, too … Hope we can hold it even, at least
