Remlinger was DFA'd by the Cubs last Friday. Boston sent minor league pitcher Olivo Astacio to the Cubs. ... Remlinger's stats (which show a clear reverse platoon split) :

Hi. Great site.
Have to think Remlinger will be gone faster than you can say Jose Cruz Jr, no? His performance tonite was a mess.
Nerves, maybe?
I don't think it was a bad idea to try Remlinger out when there was a five run lead. However, I think he should've been given the hook before it became a bases loaded no-out situation. Bad call, Terry.
I do hope this guy isn't "Embree Redux." He probably warrants another couple of tries before passing final judgment on him.
Remlinger got a bad break with what should've been a double play. (Thanks for winning it in the end, Edgar, but fuck you on fielding.) Two outs with a guy on third would've done a lot to calm him down.
Considering the quality of umpiring in this series, I'm willing to give Rent the benefit of the doubt and say that he got the out at second and dropped the transfer.
