26 man roster rule

Looks like our nice same man 5 man rotation streak will be done as of Saturday night. I hadn't heard of this new rule. I am not sure that I like it. Probably a collective bargaining thing right?

Re: 26 man roster rule

So, who gets the extra start this weekend then?

That's what they want you to think. But then a spot on the 40 man opens and suddenly it's the return of THE LIZARD.

You know, Jose Acevedo probably isn't too busy these days.



And Dave Williams could resurface at any time.

Coming back, my arm feels better than ever, got 97 mph gas again. Or was that the 5 way?
