SoxFanForever Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Was reported on the postgame and read on another board that Wright was sent down and Burke was called up. Don't know how solid this info is but god I hope it is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 That makes zero sense whatsoever. Send down a pitcher and call up a catcher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSF Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Listening to Sox postgame show on ESPN 1000, and Dave Wills just said Wright was sent down & Burke was called up. I can see Wright going down, but Burke? Melton just said that Wunsch must not be 100%. He also said Reed wouldn't be recalled unless he would be playing everyday.

SoxFanForever Posted May 2, 2004 Author Share Posted May 2, 2004 Don't ask me. I just saw it somewhere else and they said that Ozzie said it at the beginning of his press conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 That makes zero sense whatsoever. Send down a pitcher and call up a catcher? We already had 12 pitchers on the roster. I wonder what's going through Kelly's mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Yeah I know. Why would a catcher be called up for Wright. If anything Diaz, Rauch, or another Knights pitcher got called up. There is no way Burke replaced Wright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Why not Diaz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Why not Diaz? Calling up another catcher makes no sense unless Sandy is hurt, but he played today so I doubt that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSF Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Why not Diaz? Or Rauch? If Ozzie and KW don't want to move Cotts into the rotation yet, okay. But either Rauch or Diaz would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpy2121 Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Why not Diaz? yea wtf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 YES!! If it's true I'm glad. Yea if they would have called up someone, it should be Diaz or Wunsch. Kelly could return to the pen and put Cotts in the rotation. That would make more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Like I said in the other thread, They should have called up Diaz or Wunsch (if he's 100%) and put Cotts in the rotation. That would make more sense. So I'm guessing were carring 3 catchers and putting Cotts in the rotation anywayz... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Showtime Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Seriously, im confused right now It's clear Wunsch is on someone's bad side. I guess we'll have to wait till tomorrow to get more answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Well Burke didn't play tonite as they had Bobby Smith at 1xt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpy2121 Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Seriously, im confused right now my only thought is that they wont need the 5th starter until friday or maybe even miss that start(off day thursday) so they want to get an extra bat on the team for these upcoming games, then theyll send burke down and bring up a starter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 If they want to use Cotts in the rotation, then there is no point in waisting a young guy's options. Calling Wunsch up would make sense unless he is hurting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molto Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 my only thought is that they wont need the 5th starter until friday or maybe even miss that start(off day thursday) so they want to get an extra bat on the team for these upcoming games, then theyll send burke down and bring up a starter that is most likely it, which makes sense ... why bring in a fifth starter who won't be pitching for a good five days.

SuperSteve Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 It all makes sense......Burke is going to be out fifth starter. Well, I think it is clearly Cotts now, Adkins is only other I could see too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 I think you people are missing the big picture here. Danny Wright is gone! (I hope) I don't care who we bring up as long as Danny is gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 that is most likely it, which makes sense ... why bring in a fifth starter who won't be pitching for a good five days. If/when we do bring up a fifth starter, I would like to see Grilli or Rauch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 If/when we do bring up a fifth starter, I would like to see Grilli or Rauch. :puke Diaz or Cotts for me. I love the upside of those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
