Game is postponed? Dammit.

You shocked at that Harry? On Sunday they said it was highly likely a postponement than playing.

Well that's not quite the lineup I would have liked against Jose Fernandez... At least there's no Uggla?

Ah I didn't hear anything about that.

Ha. I saw this on Rotoworld:

"Both of the Upton brothers and third baseman Chris Johnson will take a seat against Marlins ace Jose Fernandez. It's a white flag from Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez."

Kinda weird, though, since Alex Wood was nearly as good as Jose when they matched up last week.

I don't mind the infield substitutions. Sitting the Uptons is silly, though.

Minor will start Friday return to rotation in place of Hale. Roster move won't come til later in week

 

[Dominican Power]

When are The Cards going to call up Taveras?

 

[DietRob]

I wonder why Reds didn't consider playing todays game a bit earlier. Supposed to be getting really hairy weather later on tonight. Not great for a 7:10 game.

DBacks pitcher Archie Bradley has been sent to the DL with an elbow injury.

DBacks pitcher Archie Bradley has been sent to the DL with an elbow injury.

Another one bites the dust.

 

[CygnusXS]

DBacks pitcher Archie Bradley has been sent to the DL with an elbow injury.

It's cool, they're stacked with young pit

Oh

Oh no

 

[Macattk15]

This M's line-up vs CC tonight .... is so fucking awful.

 

[Malo]

Should have been Kenny Powers but still pretty cool

 

[Macattk15]

Wish I could watch this on MLB.TV ... fucking hate Michael Kay.

 

[Chris R]

If the baseball gods are good the game will be a blowout one way or the other by the time I get home from work in 2.5 hours so I won't be tempted to watch it and get sad Go mariners

 

[Macattk15]

What do ya know? League leader in strike outs .... strikes out.

 

[cashman]

DBacks pitcher Archie Bradley has been sent to the DL with an elbow injury.

How is Kevin Towers enjoying Didi Gregorious?

 

[rando14]

CC always wrecks us, dont see that being any different today

 

[Malo]

I boo the quality of those boos. Boo this crowd.

 

[Dominican Power]

Ungrateful cunts.

 

[Y2Kev]

Could Pineda's lat concern have to do with his shoulder? I don't know this injury.

 

[DietRob]

Reds delayed a half hour. I wouldn't be surprised if the game was scrapped completely. Got severe thunderstorms and 60 mph winds heading in.

Wonder if they will do a double header tomorrow if so.

 

[Malo]

You sold out? Stop making the rest of us yanquis fans look bad. Bunch of hypocrites.

 

[Malo]

Could Pineda's lat concern have to do with his shoulder? I don't know this injury.

It has nothing to do with his shoulder thankfully.

 

[Macattk15]

Could Pineda's lat concern have to do with his shoulder? I don't know this injury.

Nope. Could be an elbow issue though ... or just a lat injury.

James Paxton is out with the same thing currently ... 15 day DL.

 

[CygnusXS]

Top tier defensive alignment out there today.

 

[CygnusXS]

Fernandez finna have a perfect game with 78 pitches.

 

[JoseDFrog]

Kay and Flaherty are murdering my ears

 

[3N16MA]

Teix!

 

[Malo]

Tex heating up.

 

[Windu]

Soooo Fredi is loading this lineup up with lefties based on the splits from 5 starts?

2014 wOBA

vs. L: .332
vs. R: .131

Career

vs L. .264
vs. R. .204

I'd rather take my chances with Justin in the lineup, might run into one

Also, marlins park is pretty big and Wood seems to be more of a fly ball pitcher. So putting Doumit is out in LF.....

Frediball? Frediball.

 

[3N16MA]

Listen to Costas on MLB Network.

 

[Macattk15]

Extreme fly baller that tops out at 86 gave up a HR in Yankee Stadium? You don't say.

Listen to Costas on MLB Network.

I wish. I went to it and it was blacked out.

Living in Connecticut stinks.

 

[Pepiope]

Ichiro is a Mariner for life. Doesn't even hit well against them.

 

[Macattk15]

Ichiro is a Mariner for life. Doesn't even hit well against them.

You're mistaking Ichiro for the Corpse of Good Ichiro.

The M's got his best years. Just like the Yankees got Cano's best.

 

[Windu]

Pastrinicky looked like he may have been safe. Oh well.

 

[JoseDFrog]

Listen to Costas on MLB Network.

I always get happy seeing people offer alternatives but remember the black outs

 

[Runus]

Safe.

I agree. At the very least challenge the damn thing. Unbelievable. One run could be the difference in the game. It would have been worth the chance.

 

[Pepiope]

Ha. We will not have the best years of Cano. He will have a few great years in SEA.

Frediball? Frediball.

Flyball pitcher? The guy with the 50.3% career GB%?

 

[carlos]

100% agreed

 

[Macattk15]

Can't wait till they demote Almonte.

 

[3N16MA]

Ha. We will not have the best years of Cano. He will have a few great years in SEA.

45.1 rWAR over 9 seasons including 5 seasons of 5.7 or better. Seattle will never get that out of him.

 

[rando14]

Almonte is a lead-off hitter in the major leagues, batting .200 with an OBP of .245.

 

[Windu]

Flyball pitcher? The guy with the 50.3% career GB%?

Ok my mistake. Still, it is a pretty big park.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Oh dear.

 

[Pepiope]

Great job. Rather face Cano to lead off the next inning.

 

[Windu]

And Game Over.

 

[carlos]

ugh atrocious outfield defense him cost him twice there with schafer and doumit...and now the hr

I'm out

It's almost like the Uptons are vastly superior fielders or something.
