Edgar had one bad outing...he's given up less than 3 runs every other outing which is all you can hope for out of a #5 starter. With Scherzer pitching like he has and Doug Davis coming back, we shouldn't have any problems with the rotation. Hell, I would be fine with Petit being the #5 starter if necessary.
 

just do it

Damn. I was listening to it on radio and when I left to do other things, the score was 5 to 7.

I'll watch the replay on foxaz a little later.

Looks like my early skeptical hopefulness on RJ is about right, for now. If we need to replace both Edgar and RJ, we'll be in trouble.

We cannot release Edgar if we are going to need him in place of RJ.
RJ can be replaced by DD if need be, Scherzer is here to stay...

Not going to happen. RJ will sell tickets because of the 300 in factor. The only way RJ is out is if his is not healthy and in that case he will most like just call it quits.

How many teams can throw in a pitcher in there to pinch hit and get a game tieing 2 run homer out of him?... I love Owings great comeback win today!

It's Owings' first HR of the year. But if he maintain his current slugging percentage, it will be the highest in history for a pitcher, according to Sutton.

Now, that's something.

No we aren't in trouble... Davis is coming back and Scherzer can start, add them to our great trio and we still have the best rotation. I think RJ will do better anyway.

Who would have thought that a pitcher would be good enough to pinch-hit, let alone hit a home run? Very nice come from behind victory by the D-Backs. What I'm concerned about, though, is how poorly Randy Johnson pitched. Hopefully he can redeem himself in his next start.

Watched the relay on Fox. Wow. Opposite field homer on the first pitch. Amazing.

My seats for yesterdays game was in section 108, right next to the visitors bullpen. As Borkowski left the pen I yelled to him " don't worry that's only our pitcher "

So I take credit for Owings getting a good pitch to hit!
