Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Good News!

Hit it, Larry!

Erik Bedard has been scratched from tomorrow's start with what Wakamatsu termed "slight shoulder inflammation."
...
The second part of the bombshell is that Brandon Morrow will make the start in Bedard's place.

Brandon Morrow has already thrown 42 and 52 pitches in separate appearances so far this year, so given his pitch count of 60 tomorrow, I'm not really concerned about that part of this thing. He's getting the nod out of necessity, and will be on his way to Tacoma shortly thereafter. With Bedard, though...the team says it's not serious, and that he could probably start, but when you combine "shoulder inflammation" with an already injury-prone starter and a cliff-diving rate of swinging strikes, it's impossible to stay calm. Impossible. Erik Bedard could run a marathon and tell me his legs were sore the next morning and I'd worry they were about to fall off.

I hate this. I hate having to agonize over every little ache. Please be nothing.

I wonder what insulin Morrow's on.

I know there were times where I felt like shit a few hours after taking my shot and excercising.

Doubt it’s on the internet, but I wonder.

I hate this sarcastic "good news" thing

I was hoping it was related to Gutierrez being healthy.

What changed now?

Why would he have needed to go to Tacoma as recently as a day or two ago, but now, today, it’s ok to develop him as a starter here?

Did he develop another pitch in secret?

Does he have a super secret identity, and he’s been pitching at some other club’s AAA field in a mask and a cape?

So... Trade?
