Neil Wagner has been put on the DL with a right forearm strain, with the Buffalo Bisons, which explains why he hasn't been brought back up to Toronto yet. Ryan Rowland-Smith was promoted from the Fisher Cats to fill his spot.

 

This explains why Wagner wasn't called up.

 

At least we get Janssen back shortly. Chad Jenkins will likely be optioned when Casey returns.

This one might be Gibbons' fault. He abused him in his last appearance making him throw 40+ pitches.

First thing that came to mind when i read the title

Yup. A few of us brought it up as Wagner was being abused.

[ElNik2013]

Apparently, Cecil's gonna come in to close this one out. I have no clue why Cecil pitched yesterday.

[Dylan]

If this can be put on that stretched outing, that's really sad that our bullpen management actually led to injuries. Pathetic.

[The_DH]

Yeah but it makes sense when you have a f'ing retard managing.

Maybe next time don't make a 1-inning reliever through 47 pitches when your long man is up and ready.

 

Rogers and Redmond were rested that day and JA f***ing Happ didn't pitch for 2 weeks. Bush league managing of the bullpen at its finest

Even yesteray. Cecil pitched an inning and 1/3 in a 7-2 ball game.

And I was criticized for saying leave Stroman in. Yesterday would have been Stroman's start day. Keep someone warm just in case, but I see no reason why he couldn't preserve a 5 run lead. This BP is gassed.

He's like the only guy that Gibbons trusts right now

Gibbons this year seems to have a thing for making middle relievers throw multiple innings, especially the core. This BP was a mess from the start because of options

 

Redmond

McGowan

Loup

Delebar

Cecil

Wagner

Santos

 

should have started the season and later on we would make space for Janssen and Stilson. Oh well

I guess he only trusted Wagner at the time he let him throw 45+ pitches.

Gibby is in way over his head.

Wow. Can you imagine if Wagner later on has to get TJS. Maybe not even right after this "forearm strain" but maybe later cuz we don't know how susceptible he'll now become because of this.

If Wagner's career goes down the shitter after TJS, he may know where and who to look at...

[kgm1]

Has he had an MRI yet ?

[TheHurl]

If you have Neil Wagner in your pen you are supposed to abuse him.

 

P.S. he threw 45 and 39 pitches in games last year.

 

in total 2011 15 times he went 30+ pitches 3 times over 40

2012 12 times over 30+ and 3 times over 40

2013 (with Jays) 4 times 30+ once over 40

 

Hardly our abuse

Were in a losing streak and if you aren't able to rip AA the fall back guy is always Gibbons. It's ridiculous to blame him but hey i guess it's making people feel better?

That's a strict violation of hive mentality.

Nice little track record there. I guess his arm just wasn't up to par yet this early in the season.

I take back on my comment on Gibby.
