Chuck James Wins….A Trip To Richmond

Written by Jonathan on April 24, 2008 – 11:34 pm

Chuck James pitched 5 innings tonight against the Marlins, giving up 4 runs and earning his second win of the season.  After the game however, Chuck was optioned back to AAA Richmond.  James was making starts in place of the injured Tom Glavine who is set to come off the disabled list with a strained hamstring this coming Tuesday against the Nationals.  The Braves made the move today instead of on Tuesday to call up a fresh arm for the bullpen to have over the weekend.  This announcement should come sometime tomorrow.

Guesses as to who may be called up are hard to formulate now, but I’d say Jo-Jo Reyes has a chance.  The roster doesn’t have room for more starters right now, but Jo-Jo is having a hot season for Richmond thus far. He has 24 strikeouts and only 6 walks in 21 innings thus far this season.  He’s also sitting with a 0.43 ERA.  It looks like the time spent on his mechanics thus far this season have been a big help for Jo-Jo who walked 11 in 11 innings in spring training.  We’ll let you know as soon as we hear about who’s getting called up.

    I enjoyed the win last night. Chipper is putting together the start to what I hope could be a MVP season. I know its way to early but I was thinking last night how fun it would be to root chipper on to a .400 avg this season. The team first. I cant wait for Gonzales to get back. They said Moylan will throw a side session in New York.(personally I think he is done) Soriano and Glavine should be available next week also. Lets kick the crap out of those mets. This will be one of the last couple of times the Braves play in SHEA Stadium so Chipper will be STOKED!!!!! Go Braves

    Mike Gonzalez pitched a scoreless inning last night in extended spring training with two strikeouts. I think they said he just started throwing his slider and is well ahead of his mid-June estimated arrival. We may even see him next month.

    I hope its Stockman. 1.54 ERA and 14 K’s in 11.2 innings and we could use some bullpen help.
