Latest radar shows storms hitting St Louis around 6:30 CDT (7:30 EDT, about 15 minutes before scheduled first pitch) and lasting a little under an hour.   Clear sailing after that.   So a delayed start seems like a possibility.

Hyde already talking about maybe pitching Kimbrel again tonight. Jeez. 

[Yossarian]

Anyone surprised to see Hays get the start against the right-hander over Stowers?

Back to backs with Kimbrel is a really bad idea.  He's not the pitcher he was 5 years ago.  He can be one of the closers, but he can't be THE Closer.

I hope Kimbrel doesn’t bow chunks if he pitches tonight.

Not letting Irvin finish yesterday was not wise, but we shall see.

No.

I don't think they view Stowers as a long term piece.

Kind of surprised that Mullins is playing. Santander too. He said he was 75%, which must be a bit of a slap for some folks who are 100% and waiting for a chance.

He can do that as long as someone is ready in the pen.

[Roy Firestone]

Yankees leading again 2-0, do they ever play any tough teams?

[Mooreisbetter27]

Nice start.

I agree, but doesn’t it seem odd that they’re doing so little to help him look as good as possible for potential buyers? They’re making it pretty clear that they don’t value him enough to play him.

Either send him back to the minors and trade him there, or let him play up here. It makes no sense to have him here and let him sit.
