Three batters, two errors, two doubles, and all of the sudden it's two runs. Ugh.

My old basketball coach would have had Villar running laps around the gym until tomorrow's practice.

Every game I've watched, the strike zone has been more misshapen than Bartolo Colon.

Tonight's umpire may as well be wearing clown makeup.

I believe the rule is 10 days barring recall for injury. If there's a couple of off days soon they might not need that 5th starter anyway.

I thought they could play games with the 10-day rule by the whole "reporting" requirement. But I may be thinking of something else.
