With Bailey's struggles and Lehr going to Korea, Thompson is probably in line to be the next starting pitcher called up.
I just talked to Travis again and he said that Lee Tabor just called him and said right after Tabor pitched to his 1 batter the coach told him to go home and get packed because he is headed to Chattanooga. So they are leaving the ballpark now heading for Chattanooga.
"Life is like a baseballgame. When you think a fastball is coming, you gotta be ready to hit the Change UP"
I would hate to see Homer's evaluation yikes!!!
Demotion back to AA?
Where did you all see that Thompson was going to Louisville?
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
I like him a little more now than I did last year. His change up and curveball have been impressive the three times I have seen him this year (he always ends up pitching when I have things to do.... so I have seen him less than others in AAA this season). I still think his fastball is mediocre at best, but he is a lefty so that helps. Still, I don't see much more than a #4 starter for him. There is nothing wrong with that of course.
I wonder how long it will take till we get to see Maloney or Thompson up in Cincinnati if Belisle continues to bomb.
