Strahm Starts/Bullpen Games/Fifth Starter

[Aquapong]

Well Falter wouldn’t be the first guy to have straightened things out after being sent down. May as well try him or Sanchez because we've seen enough of Covey. Skirrow looks like he fell off the wagon so he’s not really an option.

Two other arms the Phils like did nothing yesterday. The Phils seem to really like power pitchers and that's Marte. Seems like he can throw a ball through a brick wall. No movement? He's gonna learn on the job because there is nobody else. Vasquez just got hit. Didn't fool anybody. Welcome back, Falter. Never thought I'd say that.

Bailey Falter gone after 1.1 IP
4 H (3 HRs), 4 ER (responsible for runner on 1B), 1 BB, 28 pitches, 17 strikes

Was planned for 3 IP to remain an option for @Phillies later this week @IronPigs down 4-0 to @MudHens

Anyone else wondering if Steve Carlton can throw 2 innings? Maybe Schilling?

[Aquapong]

In Marte’s defense, he did have a few good outings prior to this one. Hopefully this is just a blip.

He was also bad enough to get send down at the start of the season. It's just the nature of relief pitchers. And of not having any other optionable arms.
