Bah.

I don't have the timeline in front of me. That would help. But when did Rodrigo go down for the year? And when did Hirsh pitch 5 innings with a broken leg? Why have Morales throw at all this week at AA? Where is the contingency plan ? Why is Harrikula plan B?

JC you are defending the O'Dowd/Hurdle decisions. Common sense says that if you're number 3 starter goes down with an elbow tendon that you look to the Farm System as well as Korea and everywhere else.

I agree with you that pitching Morales on 3 days rest isn't smart just like throwing Stewart against a tough lefty like Rich Hill wasn't smart. I think we're all for common sense, for what works, FOR WINNING!
