65 degrees and clear at first pitch. Thank Christ.
Tauchman back for the doubleheader and no Aaron Hicks for game 1.
And Why oh Why is Cessa up and not Britton or Kahnle?
Britton and Kahnle have already pitched today. It's not the playoffs, they're not coming back in tonight.
And Why oh Why is Cessa up and not Britton or Kahnle?
Because boone decided to yank happ at 64 pitches and use them in the 1st game of a doubleheader
Please get Britton, Kahnle, Green or Ottavino up for the 8th.

He said they are available.
DJLM is fine there too. I expect they'll share the position.
3-1 much better than 2-1
That was UGLY.
The one thing I disagreed with Mike Axisa about. He wanted to stay with Robertson over Britton.

Especially since something is seriously wrong with Robertson. The Phillies say it is a flexor strain- but he was bad when he pitched, they rehabed him- and when he tried to throw, they had to shut him down for at least 3 more weeks.
Wouldn't be surprised if this turned into TJ for Robertson.

He looks more like 2014-2016 Zach Britton who was basically unhittable with that 97mph two seamer. Obviously if he throws like that he is much better than Robertson. He is also 3 years younger which is important.

Britton throws is crazy. Drops like a splitter or change but is 96 mph.

Sorry to hear that. I truly like Robertson.

xactly.....
I look forward to Friday’s game thread with the usual cast of characters killing Boone on his lineup decisions. He’s obviously an imbecile that can’t get out of his own way. Doesn’t know who to start, who to rest, where to put the guys in the batting order and which pitchers to bring in and when. Good times!
Need to give credit where credit is due.
Sawx won in the 10th....
That kid Chavis has been raking, since he was called up.
I think he was the kid popped for 80 games last year
for PED's down in the minors.
Good to see the Pinstripers, with a double dip!
It sounds like Happ wasn't too excited being taken out
in Game 1, but didn't make a stink about it at least.
