yea exactly and their schedule is littered with tbd's for starters and he's been throwing on the side so I guess they made the call might as well get him in a game. Reports are he asked to start. He's coming off TJ #2 though so I'm sure they will be cautious.
So in the meantime you need arms.
On the road in a tie game and late it should have been Hoffman pitching the 8th, no idea what JS is thinking - maybe Hoffman couldn't go?
