He will, but we'll still need someone to fill in for his start because it will theoretically be pushed back a day. If he plans it around an off day we'll be all set.

Spot start to Joba anyone?

The suspension is 5 game, not 5 days. So if it is planned around an off day, we won't need a 5th starter but we don't have an off day until August 23rd. So we're better off with him not appealing and missing a start against Baltimore than worrying about switching guys around as we are in the middle of playing LAA and DET and such.

Really? He is that bad? I tell you what, I'll give you Farnsworth and a pack of sun flower seeds, deal?

Towers is the worst pitcher ever. I can not believe how he gets outs. The only thing he's good at is location, but that's not necessarily a good thing.
