Damn, its pouring right now!

 

Could be a long night, glad I picked up a case of beer a few hours ago.

 

 

Not sure what the Reds reputation is for laying down bunts, but could they be playing Beckham just because of defense, and maybe the ability to handle what Marquis is throwing up there these days?

Not sure why Beckham is in. I assume Conor is sick or hurting like others mentioned. And yep, that line up looks bad the way nearly all of them have been hitting

Righties have roughed up Marquis this year, but still, play Beckham at SS if you want to get him into the lineup. As for the Reds, they have no team speed, right?

Radar looks like it could move out by 8-9pm, which in that case, play it tonight.

 

But I could be totally wrong. Tough call for the Sox tonight.

Looks like pretty bad weather heading toward the cell tonight. Wonder if it will be a long delay or a PPD

 

Looks like Bulls game is also cancelled due to rain..................................

Eye-balling the radar, I can't blame the Sox for not calling it yet. Got to wait until 8 at least.

They could at least say they aren't starting at 7 at this point.

Chris Beck got scratched tonight. Maybe he's on standby for a 26th man call up?

Wonder if they prefer to wait it out on a Friday night with decent temp's. Also may not be as easy to re-schedule with a NL team?

Levine reporting Robin has been asked to be more hands on by the front office, whatever that means.

Looks like game is on CSN PLUS pregame show is on there now and Cubs game is scheduled for CSN

JD Martinez 0 for last 23 with 16 k's when Ventura walked him to face Castellanos.

 

Probably one element of being more hands on.

I wish it wouldn't have rained like it did. Cheap tickets on Stubhub and the girlfriend would have gone with. Plus it was Back to the Future Night.

He's now able to spank his players

That is a strange statement. Suggests he's been too detached?

Votto suspended 1 game. Will serve tonite.

He's smart. They probably won't even be playing.

I hope that's a joke.

 

7:40--they're meeting to determine what to do.

It's frustrating as this seems like Ventura's first year as a manager. At some point, you just have to admit it's not working out and put someone else in charge.

They would like him to have a pulse 9 innings instead of 3.

I hope that's a joke.

Obviously, no green needed(?)

Ok, you never know.

From what Levime wrote, there willl be fewer guys with green lights, things like that. Makes me think this new policy may have been the reason Eaton held up at secomd the other night on a sure triple.

 

The other thing I noticed is Robin usually only goes to the mound to take someone out. He has been out there twice on this homestand with no pitchimg change. May be a coincidence.

If they are meeting at 7:40 You would have to give overwhelming odds on a DH tomorrow. 3:10 1st pitch.
