Our team doctors seem to do a remarkable job identifying injuries at moments when the bullpen could use reinforcements.

Definitely true...usually they wait until at least June though!

Yes, once a player HAS been optioned he has to stay down for 15 days.  I knew that one...but that's the other direction.  Outlander made it sound like nobody can be optioned for 15 days, which I've never heard, and if true I was asking why/if that's an opening roster rule or what...

Ah gotcha. Because of the 15 day option rule none of the guys who were optioned at the end of Spring Training are eligible to come up. Thats why the opening day roster is basically unmovable

Ahhh.  CarRod was optioned on March 10th...so he's good to come up for whoever.

Since Nestor pitched yesterday, maybe they had Carlos Rodriguez nearby in case Cortes needed to leave.

I saw that the Giants/Mariners game was tied in the middle of the 9th. I decided to flip it on since the Brewers game has a delayed start. The Giants got a leadoff double. The next pitch was a wild pitch to let the runner advance. So runner on 3rd with no out, need to score the runner to win the game.

Now it's in extras. So it isn't just the Brewers that fail to drive in runners in those crucial situations. Though it was funny to see the M's intentionally walk to get to Adames. Despite the situation Willy kept swinging to try to hit that three run homerun.

Going to the game tonight.
Hoping to see some offense from the home team.

 

I actually want to see another 1-0 Reds loss.

Never change, Willy!

[RobertCrawley]

Alexander's change has some screwball action.

[RobertCrawley]

Cy Alexander!

[Oxy]

Grover Alexander!

He's got that old school rock and fire when not in the stretch.

Alright, made me chuckle that time. 

[RobertCrawley]

Cy Alexander has been hit hard a couple of times.

[RobertCrawley]

Cy Alexander has lost the plate.

Alexander's stuff looks like a slightly better version of Cortes's

Cortes was painting the plate tho.

So, he'll no-hit the Reds then?

[RobertCrawley]

I may be the exception, but I'm not crazy about the City Connect unis.

[Gump]

Nice hit by Sal

Good steal too.

[treego14]

I Dunn-know about Dunn.

Is he a keeper?

[Bulldogboy]

Dunn hitting in front of Mitchell seems like a problem given Dunn can't hit.
