Dellucci seems to be thinking the same way, though I think the last two pitches MAY have been strikes, but I certainly don’t think the first one was, and the other two were certainly borderline at least, and Kennedy is even less established than Sowers, despite all the hype about him.
I sure hope we adapt to Kennedy in-game and not be shut down by another guy we’ve never seen before – we need to adapt in-game and hit him at some point, if not early.
Just my 2 cents. :-)

Why send Giambi?
It actually is a sound move. You’ve got a runner on 1B with two outs, so the value of losing that runner is minimal. On top of that you’ve got an 0-2 count on the batter.
If (when) Giambi gets caught, what you’ve lost in run expectation is minimal—but you’ve gained two strikes on the batter, who gets to start over the next inning at 0-0.

While this is true, I don’t necessarily see the logic of doing it with someone as slow as Giambi, where the likelihood of him actually stealing successfully can’t be too high.

If you send Mastny down, you can’t recall him for 20 days unless someone else goes on the DL, so the question is, what other reliever would we bring up next week to take his spot? And you can’t say Elarton, because he’s not on the 40-man.

You’re right, it is 10 days.
I always get this mixed up. 20 days is the number a player has to spend in the minors (over the whole season) in order to actually use up an option. Which means that Mastny hasn’t used one up yet.

from Yahoo Sports: Westbrook received a cortisone shot in his back Friday.
Indians trainer Lonnie Soloff said the timetable for Westbrook’s recovery changed because the symptoms of his injury persisted for a week since he got hurt. Soloff said the injection seemed to help Westbrook.
Soloff also said closer Joe Borowski will begin playing catch on Monday. Borowski has been out since April 15 with a strained triceps muscle and is expected to miss one month.
