5 months ago: Texas Rangers relief pitcher Guillermo Moscoso delivers to Oakland Athletics' Jason Giambi in the ninth inning of a baseball game in Arlington, Texas Saturday, May 30, 2009. The Rangers won 14-1.(AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez)

The Rangers have recalled Guillermo Moscoso from AAA, and have optioned Willie Eyre to make room for him on the 25 man roster.

I'm guessing that if Vicente Padilla has to go to the d.l., Moscoso steps in for him in the rotation.  Moscoso will also probably follow Doug Mathis today, with Mathis giving the Rangers three or four innings.

Someone please explain the logic behind starting Mathis instead of Moscoso

Hes on his normal schedule so its not like he can only go a couple innings.

But hes only pitched well out of the bullpen not as a starter

in the show

To be fair

Mathis has only had one start all year.

Look at his career numbers

Fuck off

Its a very valid question. The guy has given up 21 ER in 22 innings as a starter and 0 ER in 22 innings as a reliever. You bring up a guy who has been starting and doing well in AAA on his normal start cycle and don’t start him? Doesn’t make sense to me and the explanation that its a “reward” is even dumber

so a 22 innings

sample as a starter is large enough to justify not letting him start again? I see your point about Moscoso but it seems like you’re being short sighted on the issue. You’re blowing this out of proportion IMO

It's what we do..

See all the hoohaw about Nippert getting that second start over Holland.
