McCarthy found his curve.

McCarthy looks like a baseball player from the 1950s

I don't know the particulars with his service time. But I'd expect him up this year.

Isn't Castro blocking Russell?

Was that Jays game the worst (most boring and shitty) baseball game ever? 5 hits, Tampa wins 2-1 on 2 runs walked in. Funny as it was a sold out Home Opener and most of the people aren't even baseball fans. Oh well, back to Daredevil.
pretty much
it didn't even really have the intensity of a "pitcher's duel" because Dickey was walking so many batters

Who is this douche bag Chris Hassel on ESPN talking nonsense about advanced metrics
Not that im aware, can always slide Castro or Russ to 2nd. Youd prolly have Russ at ss tho.
The problem is what do you do with Baez when he comes back? LF? What about Bryant? If they convert him to OF or have him at 3rd, theres problems all around. Then you have a problem with Coghlan and Alcantara. Its a great problem to have tho. My guess is Castillo goes down/gets traded and Olt is trade bait come June.

They are. But I guess the Mariners didn't get the memo.

Yeah, he'll definitely be up, barring injury. He was expected to be called up by Oakland at some point last year before he got hurt.
He hasn't struck out in 20+ PA so far in Iowa. His bat is ready.

Olt is traded, Russel plays 3B, Bryant plays LF, you hope Baez can play the OF on a regular basis, make Alcantra a platoon player. Coghlan is a non-entity IMO. Purely a bat at this point. Castillo is also another guy, no way he retains a starting spot if Bryant and Baez come into things.
Multiple ways to make it work.
Chapman should have pitched the 8th, when the heart of the Cubs order was due up, including two lefties in Rizzo/Coghlan. That was the highest leverage spot in the game. Then anyone with a pulse in the bullpen in the 9th. The bottom of the Cubs order right now isn't going to score 2 runs and the Cubs have a really short bench as far as bats go with Olt/La Stella dinged up and 3 catchers.
As a Cubs fan, I'm glad Price didn't put Chapman in the game at that point.

It was. One of the worst baseball games I've ever watched by far.
I was looking forward to it and PVRed it because I hate a date. However, I fast forwarded through a lot of it and watched it in that speed. It was incredibly dull, and pissed me off with its result/the way Tampa won.
Then again, I've always found Tampa to be the most boring team out there. They put me to sleep almost.
Guerrero showing what's up. Love it. Seems like Olivera is still waiting on his international clearance which is a shame especially if both Turner and Uribe end up on the DL..

This team is a wonderful bag of who knows what you'll get on a given day.
But this could be my favorite A's team in years.

The #Royals will likely make a roster move prior to Wednesday's game at Minnesota.

Isn't that against the rules?
Leaving the rubber and stretching out his plant foot like that.
