LOL - since no body seems enthused enough to do series by series anymore...
We fell to 4th place in the pathetic NL West this evening.

Quentin is not on the 40-man roster. Somebody would have to be taken off of it for Quentin to be put on it.az240zz said:why wasn't Carlos brought up and why is Melvin going with the veterans? the season is over and the younger guys should get the playing time.
Tony Pena was supposed to start tonight but didn't. Maybe he's getting called up too? Enrique Gonzalez is also on the 40 man roster so I would assume he might get called up as well.coyoteshockeyfan said:Dustin Nippert called up.

I don't get why he'd be called up since he's really been poor at Double-A. Plus he played tonight - so 40-man, maybe, but I question if he's on the Active Roster right now.
Did anyone else wonder if Clarabell is familiar with his Bullpen when he lifted Vargas in the 6th down just one run? I don't know his pitch count, but with our offense and bullpen, I'd have ridden him as far as possible. Two innings later they have a 6 run lead.
If Helton was performing anywhere near his career norm and had Barmes not get injured for the season the Rockies would be ahead of us too. And it appears we made no effort to trade any of the high-priced vets who have led us to this record. This team is an absolute joke.AZZenny said:We fell to 4th place in the pathetic NL West this evening.
Chico couldnt get his act together in AA and was sent to Lancaster, so I doubt he is getting a call-up any time soon. If plugging Estes in the rotation means Ortiz gets some pen time, Im all for it at this point.KLL said:I'm baffled as to why the Dbacks would start Estes at this point... Not if as though they're still in contention (even though they're delusioned that they still are) and it's too late to really showcase him for another team that might be in dire need to add a veteran arm (would have to be desperate beyond belief to even consider him) and he doesnt figure into the Dbacks long-term plans whatsoever...
They could have easily promoted either of the E. Gonzalez's or perhaps given someone like a Matt Chico a brief glimpse of the majors, however, perhaps it's best to avoid promoting them up since Melvin and Davis will both discover ways to destroy their arms which it seems is the only area they both excel at....
Edit: I overlooked the 40-man roster situation, but they could very well just release Estes to free-up a spot for a younger pitcher... what purpose does Estes serve anyways other than being this year's Shane Reynolds?
