big ups to salmonsteelhead for posting the following:

 

Immediately after the game, the Marlins announced Gardner was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque. On Friday, reliever Taylor Tankersley will be activated off the disabled list.

 

heh, who knew he had options left?...

 

anyway, there's our answer

That's unexpected. I felt that besides Julio, Lindstrom was the guy Fredi had the least confindence in.

Tough break for Lee after that huge save but it's a numbers game and unfortunately Julio gets to continue wasting a spot. He'll be back probably.

Thanks Gardner, you definitely provided what has so far been the most exciting individual performance for the Marlins this season. I hope you're back soon. That really sucks for Gardner.

In this case, I think it hurt Lee that he had options remaining. Oh well, he'll be the first bullpen arm up when one of them gets hurt.

WTF??????????? Send the fat piece of sh*t that can't close games down! :banghead

I don't know why because Lindstrom has been outstanding everytime he has been brought in to pitch

LAME

Hope to see you back soon Mr Gardner

Up yours Beinfest.

 

 

Grow some nuts.

I agree, but he's not used late in games as often as the other guys. He could have started the first game today which would have made sense considering there was a limited amount of arms left, but instead he went with Owens.

It's really unfair. Gardner pitches lights out all Spring to make the team and then carries it into the season and saves the team a few days ago. His thanks? A demotion so that Julio can stay in the bullpen when he's done nothing to earn that spot. So unfair to Lee Gardner. I feel really bad for him.

So he did have options left. Cool. This move makes the most sense right now.

Using him in the first game would have ended his day.

The Julio moves sucks big ones. Not only is he hurting the team by not peforming, but he's also taking up a spot that could be being use by a guy that's being lights out.

It just may be a paper transaction.

what do you mean?

He had options, Hurk needs to stay 10 days, and likely at least one more start anyhow. It is a question of roster slots and player ownership. Julio cannot be sent down because of waivers.

I don't think so, unless they decide to hide Boo-lio on the DL for awhile

i know it sucks but we get tank back which should be sweet,

 

is it wrong to wish injury on your own player?

 

anyone have one of those voodoo dolls

BTW the way Boo-lio is pitching and with his salary he would easily clear waivers

Yeah, I like what I have seen from Lindstrom. If it had to be him or Gardner it'd be an easy choice to keep Lindstrom but again I think it should've been Julio who went.

I offered to break his arm the other day!

That's why he should be waived. Let someone claim him, please that'd be great.

maybe Julio will blow his rotator cuff while eating. :glare
