Garcia to the DL

[MinorLeagueGuy]

looks like he was not very good tonight (but had bright points)...

6ip and 5er

but he did have 5 strikeouts in those 6 innings and walked none...

Rumor had him topping out @ 86mph.... if these assignments are about building up arm strength, then he's not close to coming back. On the other hand if they take their time with Jaime it might line up to when Joe Kelly's arm vaporizes...

What sort of rumor? And if he's topping out at 86 why wouldn't the P-D report that? Not doubting you, am genuinely puzzled.

It's official - Jaime pitches Sunday and Kelly goes to the pen.

#STLCards make it official: Jaime Garcia will start for club Sunday; Joe Kelly is moving to bullpen.

Over/under on how long until Jaime goes out with shoulder issues again?

2 starts? 3 innings? 1 1/2 years?

I'll go with the end of the month. They'll give him at least 2 starts, but that's probably all it will take for them to see he needs surgery. Hope i'm wrong.

I will go 1 start

So, Kelly, in the bullpen. He should be throwing some gas, yes?

He hit triple digits as the closer for USC Riverside.

At this point of the season, I'd almost prefer Jaime being a loogy in the pen.

Eh, relieving is never better than starting. If he's healthy he should start.
