[Count Bass D]

Wow, Skip had back to back good games.

And can Gran get promoted already?

[Matt Wilson]

So is the Tucker-to-reliever conversion officially on?

[Hugg]

Yeah, that was the plan when they sent him down.

[mbaamin08]

Actually, this was Tucker's second relief appearance since his demotion. His first was on the 29th. He pitched two innings that day as well.

[Sashimi]

I guess West doesn't yet have the control problems completely behind him.

[Ralph]

I like that Cousins was called up but I dislike that Petersen was sent down. Cousins deserved the premotion but Petersen didn't deserve the demotion. I guess they just factored Cousins age and also means Maybin's injury isn't serious.
