Charlie Morton to the DL

He was due some rest, he's already closing in on a career high workload with a month left and hopefully the postseason still to go.

 

He ain’t hurt. He has a dead arm. Gonna get that straight for the playoffs. Give him 15 or 20 days off. Bring him back for 2 or 3 tuneup starts. 5 inning/ 70 pitch max each time.

He will dominate in the playoffs.

 

Rest him for now we got others that can feel in for him.

 

He couldn't go a full season without a DL stint.

 

It's situations like this that I'm glad we have McHugh, Peacock, and apparently Valdez in the pen

 

I was afraid of that last night. The fact that Hinch pulled him out so quickly, and the in-game velocity drop. But yeah, much needed and overdue rest time for Charlie, hopefully he'll be ready for the playoffs and back in full form by then.

 

Kemp shoulda had it

Can't stay out too long, there's no such thing as 'resting for the playoffs'....

It's not like there's a ton of AAA guys waiting in the wings.

 

exactly.

 

Sounded like in today’s telecast that Morton will be back for the Boston series if a bullpen tomorrow goes well.

 

You dumb **** scared the **** out of me thinking he was in the DL!

 

We need an ALCS thread

 

Always think twice before doing that bump kids.

Don’t be a dick. You knew not to bump this thread

 

Really? I honestly wasn’t doing that. I put it in the only Morton thread I saw. I don’t appreciate the name calling and expect you to be better than that.

Do you know me to be a dick or a problem on this board? No, you don’t. So I’d appreciate if you keep your unnecessary insults to yourself.

 

I will do my part to also bump this thread.

 

No offense bro but you brought this on yourself with a poorly thought out bump.
