Did you know that David Buchanan got called-up after an injury to Cliff Lee, gave 15 tickets to family and friends (including his head coach at Georgia State), and MLB.com reporter Todd Zolecki shared (MLB.com, 05/24/2014, Buchanan delivers for Phils to win MLB debut, Source) how he was told about going to up to show:

Buchanan got word on Thursday that he would pitch last Saturday. He had allowed five hits, four runs, one walk and one home run in one inning in a "hiccup" start last Sunday against Triple-A Buffalo. IronPigs pitching coach Ray Burris called Buchanan into manager Dave Brundage's office to talk about it.

The three talked about 15 minutes when Brundage wrapped up the conversation saying he simply wanted to make sure Buchanan had the right mentality, had calmed down and was no longer worried about the start against Buffalo.

Buchanan said he was fine.

The right-hander got up to leave the room when Brundage added, "I just wanted to make sure you were ready so when Chooch [Carlos Ruiz] gives you that fastball, you're ready to throw it."

Buchanan stopped in his tracks, hearing the words correctly, but not really knowing if they were true.

Brundage repeated himself.

"I just want to make sure you're ready when Chooch gives you that pitch," Brundage said.

"What?" Buchanan replied.

Burris started laughing.

"Are you serious now?" Buchanan said.

"Yeah," Brundage said. "You're going up Saturday."

"My stomach just dropped," Buchanan said. "I went outside and called my family. It was a great time."
