I picked this up from Mack Avenue Tigers. The bad news is, Jeremy Bonderman hit the DL. The interesting news is, Andrew Miller is going to start in his place. Miller threw eight solid innings in his Erie debut lastweek so we’ll see how he does in his first major league start of his career. Miller has the stuff, including a wicked slider, and he’s an extreme ground ball pitcher so hopefully the infield defense is up for the task on Friday.
It gets worse, Maroth is sick so Minor is up to pitch game one. I hope leyland thorws Durbin in game 1, I think he can beat Tavarez and get us at least a split.

Bonderman hasn’t pitched since May 8, so this only really keeps him out a week. This is a good move. The question is if Durbin doesn’t do well today or in his next start, and Miller has a couple quality starts, what is done on May 23 when Bonderman comes off the DL???
