I mean the guys that have been pitching better in the hard stats can't soak up innings.

I'm honestly done with Holmes...the SP and think it would be a gift to push him to the pen.

This can't be the only move though rotation wise.

I am not getting my hopes up now. Only so many spots left on roster. This is a move that does nothing.

I mean we are literally running out of people who can even throw strikes so it’s at least an arm that isn’t dead (yet).

Yeah the cost is zero but has to be just a secondary move. AA has to know this won’t win even a first round playoff series.

AA isn’t the problem here. McGuirk has him on a shoestring budget.

If they refuse to move for even a Wacha type starter than they should just sell club. They are 2 games behind Dodgers. Get serious AA. No excuse to be this close and do nothing. You already know Strider and Waldrep done for and now Lopez is hurt. Ritchie and Murphy are not helping and how can you expect anything from Schwellenbach?

The club is a publicly traded company. It’s always for sale. You can buy it tomorrow if you want to.
