Game notes:

 

- Why the f*** is it so cold today.

[Shart]

The key question tonight is whether JD's arm is back. There will be a microscope on every throw he makes from third to first.

[Terminator]

Can't wait to watch Pillar run past Morales on a Diaz double tonight. We'll likely be up 5+ runs at that point so it'll be a good laugh for the team.

[Spanky99]

WTF? lol... lame!

[Pendleton]

Rumor has it the crowd will be better looking than usual tonight

[guylaroche5]

Travis getting benched makes sense given how well Solarte has been playing, Devo will be good to use late in the game anyway. Also it's time to see if JD's arm resurrected over the Easter weekend, lots of cortisone blessings.

[Shart]

The plan for Travis this season is 2 games on, one game off. He's not getting "benched", but will see regular games off all season in order to try and keep him healthy.

Gibby's already stated that Travis' and Martin's day off's are true day's off... only in emergency would they be used.

Pre game tosses for JD

 

 

I judge those throws to be significantly weaker than what we should expect from Donaldson, he still looks timid and is compensating with a higher trajectory. Stay woke.

Agreed. They look better than we saw a couple of days ago but still doesn't look great. The ChiSox suck so we will beat them with a one armed thirdbaseman anyway but I hope his arm gets fixed soon.

[glory]

Travis and Martin are both on '2 days on, 1 day off'. That's fine for Travis since he's injury prone and Solarte is a decent MLB player, but not sure I like that many AB's for Maile.

Yeah no kidding. That's too much playing time for Maile. I guess they figure if Martin gets hurt again then it will be a lot more PT for Maile.

I guess Gibby figures whatever defensive value they lose by having him play 3B is offset by the offensive value of having Morales in the lineup over Ngoepe.

[jays4life19]

1 more hour till game time!

[bzapple]

Ah, so I guess no one from this board is attending tonight.

Glad the roof is closed, cold out there.

[Omar]

You're assuming Morales actually gets on base tonight.

[JaysAllMighty]

I'm not a fan of sitting your best players unless it's been several games. IMO you should always field your best out there. If they are that fragile then find someone else.

Outside of JD, Pillar, and Smoak, all of the roster pieces are pretty fungible. As long as Ngoepe isn't starting.

[Captain Adama]

I have no problem with this lineup tonight.

[Pendleton]

Lol Solarte's pre game "stretch" is just more dancing

I usually only make the trip on weekends but I don't think I've ever seen a smaller crowd here

[Dylan]

Lets go Blue Jays!!!

[Willy25]

Interesting to see Morales hitting 6th, behind solarte and grichuk. That could be to prevent the basepath clog or it could be a message to get his act together and start making better contact.

[Abomination]

That wasn't a convincing throw by Josh.

[Orgfiller]

Yeah he's definitely not 100% but it's better than Opening Day. Hopefully it's not structural damage because otherwise it's completely idiotic to have him out there.
