Comments on: “No Chance” for Chase http://thunderbaseball.wordpress.com/2008/05/08/no-chance-for-chase/ Daily blog coverage of the Trenton Thunder, Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees -- by Hunterdon County Democrat beat writer Mike Ashmore Fri, 25 Jul 2008 22:03:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU By: mbn http://thunderbaseball.wordpress.com/2008/05/08/no-chance-for-chase/#comment-951 mbn Fri, 09 May 2008 12:59:19 +0000 http://thunderbaseball.wordpress.com/?p=488#comment-951 I agree that 2 starts for Chase or Cutch would be a nice "gift", sort of a reward for how well they have done so far. Guess it won't happen. IMO, Horne will be back a week from Monday, although probably on a pitch count. I have read the reports that he text-ed to Chad Jennings, and also read what his Father has posted on another website. I also expect Igawa and Kennedy to change uniforms after 2 more Kennedy starts, and 2 from Igawa in NY. So maybe with all the comings and goings, the decision was made to not move anyone up at this time.

I agree that there will be no long-term spots for Cutch or Chase, but to throw them a temporary bone and say...hey, we like what you're doing down here, how about a shot in Scranton...that couldn't hurt.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to bring Wright or McCutchen up for a couple of starts and then demote them again. Mike,

Mac gets the call instead, or will the AAA club go with a group of pitchers, starting with Phillips? Does this mean that D.
