Hochevar to start Sunday

Luke Hochevar will get the call to pitch tomorrow and hopefully he does well enough to stay permanently. Hoch posted a 2.60 ERA in three starts for Omaha and while he may get sent down when Bale comes back I have hard time believing that he will. Nomo most likely gets cut to make room for him, at least I'm hoping.

Here is the comment that concerns me:

"For Yabu and Nomo both, you wish for better results last night. Is there some concern? Yes, there's a little bit, but not to a point where we're not going to push the panic button or anything," the manager said.

The time to hit the panic button on Nomo was BEFORE his last appearance when he gave up 3 runs in one third of an inning. Look at his numbers; 4.1 IP 10 hits, 9 ER, 4 BB, 3 HR, 18.69 ERA, 3.23 WHIP.
