Agree, at this point if he's not going to start Nepiarsky or Zapata maybe he should use them in relief in these midweek games.Put Zapata in.
Penders reaches for the back end of the bullpen with Trevor Holmes coming in to pitch.

Good point, I was wondering that myself and was thinking he might be hurt. He pitched fairly well for us last year not to be used at all this year.Nepiarsky has been seeing time periodically out of the bullpen. One guy who hasn't pitched at all this season is Joe Rivera, so maybe we will end up seeing him, assuming he isn't hurt.
Maybe Holmes deserves more innings. At least he didn't walk anyone.
Any timetable for Polonia?

It was reported a couple of days ago on one of these threads that he is having Tommy John surgery and is out for the season.
Because Penders gets too attached to certain guysRivera pitched 14 innings last year and had a 1.93 ERA. If he wasn't hurt it would make no sense why he hasn't pitched to this point this year with the struggles we have had.
