I realize now games won't start to save starters from pitching an inning or two and then losing them in a rain delay.

Honestly, with these two starters it doesn't matter.

Anyone hear when the game may start? It's not raining at all here in north central Illinois.

Game is in St. Louis.Yankee game in Chicago started on time

It matters to the bullpen.

Radar shows it moving out.
Lovely night for baseball!
98*, 103* feel temp, 63% humidity.
Reminds me of one of the reasons why I left.

Clear skies in Creve coeur. Was actually cold inside Dierbergs from all the wet rain drops on me. Can Only Imagine how hot and muggy the humidity is going to feel in an hour or so.

Do I need to tell you how much I hate Walker hitting 2nd? The guy led the majors in rbi hitting 4th. Now hes a table setter.

If he bats 2nd for the rest of the season he may not finish with 100 rbi.

Completely agree. No matter what the analytics say, Walker was producing at an AS level batting 3 or 4 (I prefer 3 to guarantee a 1st inning AB.). Why change something that’s working?

I preferred him 4th, because with JJ, Ivan, and Burly hitting in front of him, he frequently came up with multiple runners on, and less likely to be pitched around. But I guess he'll get about 12-15 more ABs this season hitting 2nd!!

Home Run Derby ... and another one bites the dust. Hopefully he figures it out sooner than later.
