We Want a Pitcher!

We want a pitcher, not a belly itc-.....wait, no, we really do want a pitcher. We really NEED a pitcher. For Saturday. Is anyone available? Word is that Zach Lee might be an option, albeit a poor one.
Good lord, generally sucking in the minors has not been kind to Zach (although he is having a decent season with AAA Oklahoma City). He looks older than some of the Sons. What happened?

Yours truly has tickets for Saturday night, but I'm not sure I have the fortitude to make it through a pitching by committee game.

Sooooo...who will it be? Put in your guesses in the comments section.

Brandon League. Oh wait.

Dusty Baker said...

Beachy has been ruled out as he is coming off his 134th Tommy John surgery since January.

Dusty Baker said...

Except that Ken Rosenthal now reporting that it's Beachy.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 6m

Sources: Beachy heading to LA to join #Dodgers. Likely to start tomorrow.

Dusty Baker said...

Pre-noon DAMMIT. I like it!

Beachy has had almost as many Tommy John surgeries this year as PJ has had rehabs in the same time frame.

They've sent PJ's liver to rehab in extended spring training

An inanimate carbon rod!

Can we sign Charlie Brown for a day. He'd be just as good as a bullpen game.

Neeebs said...

I can start on short notice. Though I'm the poster child for junk ballers.

Dusty Baker said...

Neeebs, you're in! #putmeincoach

Another anecdote from last night:

SoSG Sax, who had traveled to LA yesterday from long distances on little to no sleep, but who was dedicated to getting to the Yard, asked if any of us was able to give him a ride to the game. He noted that he would be at his mom's house in [redacted]. I of course had to reply that I would already be at his mom's house so it wouldn't be a problem. Sax was like, Hey! My mom is NOT Neeebs' mom!

(sorry momma Neeebs)

Great stories Dusty!

Dusty Baker said...

Mother fucker Apple auto-correct. Reposting with corrections:

TMI story: Last night, SoSG Sax, Nomo, and I had a beer and stood on the Loge Level right above a dude who was keeping score, old skool style. Respect. Sax felt like he needed to connect with the dude, and perhaps report in this space on it later, so he struck up a conversation. Soon thereafter the dude told him that he had to stand up during the game because he had a prostate issue where before a recent surgery he couldn't pee. As we walked away, I posited aloud how dude would score that and Nomo noted that it would be scored a "1". Good times.

spank said...

@ Dusty - you should have bought me a steel reserve from that guy that was keeping store.

Dusty Baker said...

Speaking of cerveza selection, SoSG Nomo, Sax, and I walked to several different beer stands before we were able to locate some XXs. All a lot of them had were Bud Light and Montejo. Fuck Montejo. That is some fucking shite. But we hung tough and found the right beer stand. Later, we had some Shock Top. #Yeah,No

spank said...

you're like a drug sniffing dog with the XX,Dust. not down with the Shock Top. on the 4th i tried something new. bought some Oculto tequila infused beer. it is crap .still have some bottles in the fridge a week later.

Dusty just took all of my posting comments. And he probably did a better job recapping them than I would have anyway...
