Broxton

Any word on how long his toe will be a problem?

Who is the better safety net...Wade or Belisario for LA?

[jake_harv88]

should be back in the lineup tonight. But we'll have to wait for more details...

not a good outing for him last night, hope this toe is not a big issue - i can't take any more injuries on my team...

Is Wade next in line behind JB in LA?

He just did what good closers do, get shelled while 'just getting in some work'.

Im eying troncosco right now, and might pick him up. he has good numbers and 4 saves, so obviously he will be the top candidate in case brox misses time.

Even though its "getting some work" for tonights game, he gave up 2 runs, however he worked an inning and third, so he prob is healthy

Yeah he did give up 2 runs tonight and I'm completely baffled how either of them were earned. I suppose the official scorer was being excessively generous to the point of ineptitude or is legally blind. Kemp didn't exactly have a difficult play when the ball bounced off the heel of his glove. He wasn't running at full speed, he didn't run into the wall, he was there in time to catch it, he just missed it. How it wasn't ruled a 2 base error, which would have made both runs unearned, is puzzling. It was a textbook error. I've seen many, many, many harder plays then that that were missed ruled errors.

Totally agree with this. The ball should have been caught by Kemp. That is a hometown official scorer if I ever saw one.
