Bum back Bam Bam in LF, KB in CF and Zobrist in RF

So long as Lester doesn't let the ball leave in the infield, nothing to fret about here

Edit: Zobrist scratched with neck stiffness, so Happ in CF and KB in RF

Speaking TJS....White Sox phenom Michael Kopech has a "significant" UCL tear and will likely have TJS and miss all of 2019.  That sucks.

Where do you find peripheral numbers for pitchers in the minor leagues? I'm just curious because I see them mentioned in articles all the time.

doubt lester will be returning at this point...

we may see a j.garcia debut when they decide to re-start the game.

Just heard Michael Kopech has a torn UCL, will miss all of 2019. Odd that he was in so many rain delay games and brought him back after a longer delay his next to last time out. Last outing was bad w drop in velocity. Not a Sox fan but still sad.

i hope this game goes 20 innings once they re-start it...i wanna see the sun come up over DC

7pm EST game (6pm central) tomorrow, btw.

These long delays, even if the game is ultimately postponed, must be hell on players--especially the road team. Sitting around for 3 hours to hear whether you have to go back to work at midnight sounds awful. Do they do team movie time? Charades? Video games? Naps?

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.
