To make room for Kuroda on the 25-man roster, the Dodgers optioned A.J. Ellis to Triple-A Albuquerque.
It's official: Hiroki Kuroda has been activated and A.J. Ellis has been sent down to AAA.

I like the outside the box thinking!
of course, that would mean Weaver starts Thursday (since Milton probably wouldn’t pitch on 3 days rest) and Kershaw maybe Friday. :)
If Kershaw only goes 1-2 innings
He could still start on Thursday right? It would just be like a bullpen session.

Ok
That’s what I’ll be hoping for then.

Not optimistic tonight. Four innings max.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
I just realized
Wolf will likely start Sunday, meaning he will have started both of my games in the box so far.
I'll update the payroll worksheet later
but A.J. Ellis earned roughly $6,557 for his three days on the bench at Wrigley Field ($400k x 3 days / 183-day season).
Must suck
to get sent down after only three days when the $$$$ difference is so huge. He’s not a young punk anymore.

Yeah that would suck
Maybe he’ll get another “chance” though.

I forgot about per diem
I don’t count that on the payroll worksheet of course, but Ellis got at least $85 per day for 3 days on the road with the club. That’s gotta be great too.
I do feel bad
he didn’t get an AB though at least he’s had ML ABs already. Coulda played him Sunday for an inning or PH, though on the other hand, they really wanted to take no chances on the game yesterday.
Estes will laugh at his stories. Luna will hunger for them. People talk about pressure, how about the pressure of being 25-27 and knowing you got maybe one more chance to make it before they write you off as a AAAA player and never getting even a shot at the ML minimum.

Speaking of Luna
2 more homeruns yesterday, 11 on the season. He’s in Beast Mode…

But then
Kemp would strike out with runners on base, and Loney would hit a bases empty single.

Or Kemp would homer with men on
And Loney could single Ethier and Loretta in after they walk.

He said he feels fine
but hard not be suspicious. I know they want to sit him down once a week but it’s been more than that as of late. Maybe they like to sit him after a long distance travel night.
