In the last quarter or so of last season, all of a sudden Machi began to struggle; a struggle that has continued on this season... and for the life of me, I don't know why.
He labors with the strike zone.
He labors with his fork ball.
He labors with command.
I realize that Cain is at least a month away from returning, a month, maybe more.
But the way Machi is going, he's not even going to survive that period of time.
Bochy simply can't trust him to come into a game a NOT give up runs.
He can't.
Which makes me wonder if they aren't considering bringing up Okert for at least a look.
Or if not Okert, then someone else
Or dropping a pitcher entirely for a player.
We've got, what, 13 pitchers on the staff?
That's outrageous!

Think you answered your own question, Boly. Machi has to go, and because they carry 13 pitchers it can either be a pitcher or a bat for the bench. Think I would go with Duvall or Okert/ Broadway, either one.

I've been a supporter of Okert since the end of last season, and I still am. But recently Okert has had bouts of ineffectiveness. In one outing this month he gave up 5 runs without recording an out. In another outing he gave up 3 runs while only recording 2 outs. Of course, other than those two outings he's been darn near perfect. Okert will make his mark at the big league level, but I'm not sure that time is now. It appears he still needs to work on pitching out of trouble and limiting the damage.
Mike Broadway seems like a solid choice right now. Either way, I think I'll just leave it up to Bochy and the scouts to decide, after all, they have a pretty good record of success with the pitching staff.

given the title of the post and the day of the week this is, I expected lyrics to the tune of "Easy Like Sunday Morning"

Gawd! That was an awful song, Randy!
I only do song lyrics to songs I like.
That one, I flat out can't stand!
I'd rather have a double enema than listen to that one!

How about Keith Carradine's "I'm Easy?" Great actor, lousy song!
