This is the first game I have heard Avila broadcast.  He sounds good for a rookie, maybe could use some more polish, but this is his first series?  Come on, this is pretty good considering that.

He mentioned that he will join Dickerson in San Francisco and Arizona.

I think he’s a regular contributor on the MLB Network. I’m sure those guys are working with him on his skills as well.

as per McCosky: E Rod apparently "left side" which I guess translates as 'oblique'. 

Wonder how they handle this from a roster perspective.... can't bring Wentz up until 15 days after being sent down, yet probably not great to have Eddie on the active roster if you know he need an IL stint.

Despite the pitching depth issues, a good argument to be had to bring up a position player until Wentz (or whoever) would need to start based on their offensive production.

I come back to W. Peralta being the obvious candidate to start stretching out, but they haven't managed the roster the way I would have yet this season! 🙄

I'm not sure they have much of a choice at this point, unless they plan on calling up another starter... 

Worth noting as well that Toledo was rained out, so Manning is likely not coming back until at least Tuesday next week. They'll need to find a way to cover Monday, whether from the Toledo set or from Wily or Rony or both.

I think they can bring Wentz up early if someone goes on the IL. Unless that's another rule they changed.

3 runs in 5 innings his last start at AAA. I think if they bring him up again he'll just get knocked around again, but if they won't use Peralta or Garcia he's what's left.

At least on the 40... but as bad as things are, I dont see them being desperate enough to go get a AAAA guy (ie. Chase Anderson, Nivaldo Rodriguez) or throwing a Garrett Hill or Reese Olson into this mess.

They had Elvin Rodriguez up  once already for a couple of relief innings, but he's been pitching worse than Wentz at Toledo
