Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

[A Boy Named Seo]

Matt Ehalt of the Record is reporting Oswalt is getting recalled. No word yet on who is hurt/getting the boot. Discuss.

Sewald?

[A Boy Named Seo]

Probably, right? It's easy to forget he's on the team.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

It's like Sewald been the invisible guy. Maybe though they replace Robles who's been the unavoidable guy.

[Edgy MD]

Now's the time to sign Cliff Lee out of retirement.

[Ceetar]

the concern is not with Wheeler but they already have to make another move. I always worry about the last guy to pitch when stuff like this breaks. Hope it's not Thor.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Noah had that finger issue last night.

I thought he said he _didn't_ have the issue last night, but there's been reports of it in each start.

[G-Fafif]

Nimmo down for Oswalt.

[Edgy MD]

Well, with that .600 on-base percentage, it was only a matter of time.

[G-Fafif]

Oswalt gets No. 55.

Nimmo gets playing time.

[A Boy Named Seo]

For real? I hope his demotion comes with a first base mitt. This suxxx for Zimmo.

[Benjamin Grimm]

It does. But I guess this two-times-through-the-lineup thing is going to require a 13-man pitching staff.

[nymr83]

Crazy.

unbefuckinleiveable

[Guest d'Kong76]

Surprised it's him, but I suppose getting AB's and staying sharp is better
than him sitting around on a cold bench if that's where they think he should
be for the time being up here. He'll be back soon.

Some goon caller to WFAN, prefacing his comment with "this isn't gonna be popular and probably a little politically incorrect," suggests Mets have it in for those who are forthright in their Christian faith, citing Murphy not being retained almost two-and-a-half years ago and Nimmo today.

Oswalt, a known Satan-worshipper, couldn't be reached for a statement.

Yup, this is still the organization employing the 'christianity is my brand' guy.

He's 31 and can't get above Binghamton -- tell me that's not about his religion!

[seawolf17]

I can legitimately see this being a playing-time issue. You want to get Nimmo ABs, one way or the other, and he's not getting them up here right now. And at the same time, with the starters going five innings, you're going to need as many fresh bullpen arms as you can have.

As GF noted, as long as Tebow is in the organization, the "religious" argument doesn't hold water at all.

[G-Fafif]

They kept Nimmo when they could have traded him for Andrew McCutchen. I think they like him fine.

[smg58]

I don't get this, but we've pulled all the right levers so far. Let's see how this pans out.

[Benjamin Grimm]

My guess: It's a hedge against Wheeler getting knocked out in the second inning.

This was stated as a reason

When does Nimmo get MLB playing time? He's not getting any younger.

13 pitchers? Zounds

[Frayed Knot]

Is it true that Sandy summonsed Oswalt by calling the 1-800-Corey hotline?
