SWR or Festa when Lopez goes on IL.
Yeah, watching it live, sure looked like a whole bunch of nothing. Then reading the comments that he started to feel something off against his last batter in the 5th, then felt enough to realize it wasn't worth trying to go any further after taking 3 warmup tosses, that's concerning.
Or both depending on how Zebby does. He's been roughed up.
Zebby has been getting a lot of strikeouts which is usually a good sign the stuff is good.
He just wants everyone to think he's crazy.He's not all there, is he?
Baseball needs the next Mark Fidrych or Mad Al Hrabosky.
Exactly!!He's not all there, is he?

His fiance may be from Fargo, but that's uncalled for....Exactly!!
I imagine he rolls a fatty in the off-season
The Slim Reaper will be joining the rotation when they get home. Probably start Friday.
Multiple SKOR North reports that Festa was indeed scratched from his start with the Saints tonight.
When will he be in Wichita?
Same injury that Joe Ryan had in August last year which ended his season.
Another day another hit for Royce, on a heater.
Ugh. Maybe he can make it back to get 3-4 starts before the play-offs.
Quite an optimistic take on your part, especially for the number of starts Lopez will miss.
From a pitching standpoint, assuming there are no other major injuries, that's probably right. Maybe could look to add another left hander in the bullpen but overall are probably set with pitching.
The middle group are bunched together in the AL. 10 teams within 4.5 games of each other. And Baltimore that isn't in that group yet is getting hot. I think we'll know more by the end of June.
If he makes it back by Labor Day that's 12 weeks and he'd still get 3-4 starts before the end of the season.
