Moscoso Recalled, Eyre Optioned

by Adam J. Morris on Jul 28, 2009 5:58 PM CDT

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.

To be fair

Mathis has only had one start all year.

Look at his career numbers

get over it.

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
