surprising injury. I expected a neck injury from turning his head around quickly to see if ball was going to stay in the park.

we need him back and pitching well quickly.

It's uncanny how often a poor performance by a Pirate is followed immediately by a trip to the DL. It's been going on for years. Are these guys hiding injuries that affect their play or is the DL being used as an excuse for some time off to regroup?

I think they are just giving him some extra rest. They have a few off days in the next 10 days so they can go with a 4 man staff. Feliz gives them an extra arm in the bullpen especially since Archer did not give them many innings last night. Next year when they return to a 15 day Injury List it will be tougher to make these type of roster moves.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Now that's funny, but sooooo true!!!!!! I totally think a pitcher who can't throw strikes isn't really a pitcher, I thought that's why they got rid of Glasnow.

Well Feliz is up ... I expect him to have neck problems.
