hogan873 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Maybe the only good thing about no fans is the ability to quickly change game times to avoid weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, the start time of any game can be changed with very little notice. Years ago, I was in NY with my brother and nephew and we had planned to go to a NYY game scheduled at 7p after sightseeing that day. We happened to tune into a radio channel in the early afternoon that was broadcasting that day’s game at that time! They had moved up the game time to avoid a potential thunderstorm later in the day (which, as it happened, never materialized). The game had to have been changed that morning since as of late the night before it was still scheduled for 7p. We managed to get to the stadium to see the last three innings.

If Moncada is feeling healthier Madrigal might have to ride the bench until Mendick's pixie dust wears off, and hopefully it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTruth05 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Danny Duffy always seems to well against us so here's hoping we tag him for 8 runs in 1-1/3rd inning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Glad they aren't sitting Mendick. Just wish you could get both him and Madrigal in the lineup at the same time. Anyone have any thoughts on if he could play a feasible RF? It's not like the bar is that high defensively with Mazara out there. Turning Mendick into a Zobrist-esque player would be mighty nice.

They could also get Moncada a day off or two this weekend and play both before playing the Twins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
