Here’s what people were saying on social media:
Alex Pavlovic: “Jose Butto went on the IL with right forearm fatigue. Blade Tidwell is up to join the bullpen and could make his Giants debut against the team that traded him.”
@C2Cbsbl: “Interesting that Tidwell is the call for a bullpen opening, was assuming they would try and keep him stretched out In my mind, this is a role more fit for a guy like Carson Seymour, but they are rolling with Blade He definitely has the stuff to be a weapon in the pen”
@ProBaseVols: “Blade Tidwell heading back to the bigs!!”
Michael Monreal: “Blade Tidwell had an up and down spring. When he’s on, it’s loud, closer-type stuff. He joins the #SFGiants in San Francisco to welcome his former team, the New York Mets.”
@Orange_BlackPod: “That sucks for Butto. Tidwell revenge game incoming! #SFGiants”
