That would be crazy

Feliz is getting close to being done for the year. They’ve been regulating his pitch counts in Frisco lately (I think anyway) – there’s no way they call him up even if it is to put him in the bullpen. That would be an Edinson Volquez move.

CJ says he's got bone spurs

And says he’ll need elbow surgery (not necessarily before the end of the season).

Just got back from the game.

Lots of exciting stuff tonight. Davis is a rampaging beast.

CJ needs to either be on the DL or he needs to be in Oklahoma—anywhere but someplace near a pitcher’s mound in a major league park.

Somebody needs to explain to Rupe that it is absolutely crucial that a pitcher throws strikes when the bases are loaded.

Does anybody know what Laird was yelling at CJ when CJ walked away from him during their first mound conference?
