Gah. I read four days ago as four days rest.

I apologize, I didn’t realize that he threw that many pitches. If I had known that I wouldn’t have said that. Thanks for the clarification. But Slowey does have a hard time being a reliever, they really should just start him.

I’m sure he’ll be available tomorrow. You know, pitchers who pitch that much get 4 days of rest, right? Every 5th day? You do the math.

When the season on the brink of being a complete failure? Yes.

I know, right? It’s not like Gardy was talking about putting Slowey in the rotation two weeks ago, where he would regularly be asked to pitch on four days rest after having thrown 70+ pitches in his previous outing.

So you want Gardy to overuse the best reliever and the only reliever that can be fully trusted right now?

74 pitches in his relief outing 4 days ago. Yep, he’s a baby.

He also said Slowey wouldn’t be available too because Slowey pitched like a week ago. Talk about a baby.

…and today Gardenhire announced that Glen Perkins wont be available tonight because he’s pitched in back to back games (25 pitches combined.)

Gardenhire seriously babies this team. And it makes me mad.
