Probably our ideal lineup (assuming we are resigned to playing Davis) against righties until Mountcastle comes up.

What time are we finishing last week's game?  Can't find the resume time listed anywhere.  Thought I remember 5:00 being mentioned.

Yeah, its 5pm.  (I had to look really hard to find it though.)

 

So, in a season of "firsts," has there ever in the history of baseball been a team sweep two 3-game series in back to back days?  Because that's a real possibility today.

The suspended game is scheduled to start at 5:05 PM, but the Baltimore weather forecast says that it will rain until about 7 PM.

Something that surely hasn't happened in forever--Strasburg will have two starts today. And hopefully two Ls.

You don't like the idea of a glove first third string catcher at DH?

 

Why would you ever DH Holaday so you could put Severino in the field?

I guess for the time being Mullins will play CF vs righties and Velazquez vs lefties.

Hyun-Jin Ryu )has been uncharacteristically wild so far this season, giving out 10 Free Passes (9 Walks and 1 Hit Batsman) in only 20 Innings Pitched.

In his previous 2 seasons combined, Ryu's walk rate over 265 Innings Pitched was 1.325, including a league-leading 1.183 for the Dodgers last season.

That said, he is certainly capable of pitching 8 innings without walking any batters.
