games are rarely cancelled because of wind. I dont see what the big deal is here, play the game and get it over with, move on

Against division teams? Easy.

 

I wouldn't be questioning this if it were against a team not coming back.

 

It's not just the schedule. The players union wants their scheduled days off, and you can't just call games several days ahead of time because it MIGHT rain and be chilly.

And teams try to avoid DHs like the plague. Too taxing on a pitching staff these days.

I feel strongly both ways about this stuff

Some of those dude's videos are too good.

First off, if they're setting a rotation with fans in mind, they're playing with fire.

 

I haven't second guessed anything this week- I've first guessed. Today should have been called. The Twins series should have been Shields, Holland, and Gonzalez. Quintana on Tuesday for the Indians home opener.

Rotations change...pitching Q on normal rest makes absolute sense. He is the best pitcher on this club and you want to maximize his starts. Lots of teams skip 5th starters early in the season anyway (given the typical early season off-days).

Is game going to be played?

I don't live there either but I thought the only concern was high today which won't stop the game for being played

Anyone sitting in the upper deck is being offered lower deck ticket's today.

Don't listen to that flavum guy.

I was just outside. It's breezy but not that bad. I've walked around in far worse, although they have several streets closed here due to debris falling from the sky. Plus it's sunny, something we haven't had much of in months.

IT IS SUNNY!!!

So 2-0 on Cabrera, instead of just telling him to take his base, Shields throws a WP allowing the runner to 3rd.

 

Not a good move from the manager.

What?

What?

Runner on 2nd Cabrera batting. Clearly pitching around him. Why bother? Just put him on. What is the best case scenerio of James Shields trying to give Miguel Cabrera nothing to hit? A walk IMO. So these days you don't have to actually throw pitches to walk someone.

What?

 

It was against Victor Martinez and it was on the 3-0 pitch

Then gameday is all messed up. It says it was on the 2-0 pitch to Cabrera.

26 pitches, 3 strike outs, 1 IP

 

so he's gonna make it through 4 innings and have 12 strike outs?

 

Watching on my personal laptop at work, while OTP downloads

Only 2 BBs? I'll take it!!

Let's keep a tally of how many times Anderson swings at a first pitch?

Man Anderson is struggling to start.
