Brocail heading to Houston for Shoulder Exam

That explains a lot. Thanks for abusing the guy last year Coop.

What are you talking about?

You mean it’s a bad idea to use a 41 year-old reliever with a heart condition and something of a history of arm troubles as your everyday setup man? Next you’re going to say that it’s a bad idea to tell the whole league you’ve given every one of your players the green light to run.

Well, that might be what your fancy “numbers” and “doctors” say, but this team is going to do stupid shit because it’s the way we do things, dammit!

I can't argue with that logic

It’s infallible.

A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Suppose Brocail goes on the DL....

who gets called up? Arias and Fulchino are in the RR starting rotation, but I’m guessing those two would get the call. Capellan hasn’t looked good lately…so I doubt it’s him. Alternatively, the Astros could go with an “experienced” reliever like Paronto.

my guess would be Paronto

I think Paronto might have to be added to the 40 man roster...

for that to happen.
