Wonder what the plan is for Walsh. Pickle Smoochers can swing it and Walsh hasn't exactly been missing bats so far this year. Looks like Pickle Smoochers has a good number of lefties in their lineup though.

I wonder if you go with a Walsh/Clark combo.

I forgot about Clark.

Seems like a bunch of pitchers have been MIA lately:

1. Clark
2. Timmerman
3. Brockett
4. Horn

And then Harrahill who started that one weekday game and hasn't been heard from since

[PonyBoy]

And he just pitched a few days ago.

Pry see him for a few innings and then they’ll bring in Brockett/Timmerman/Harrahill/Horn

Our weekend leverage guys are available tonight, with Perry the only question mark. Knowing KP though, he'll want the ball regardless how he feels.

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

No. He apparently threw a knuckleball for shits and gigs warming up in spring training or something and the Padres staff hit him with:

Ya I thought I read he was basically on his way out and that pitch revived his career

 

[...TrueColors...]

I think everybody has played around with a knuckleball at some point or another.

It’s funny, one of the kids I played with thought he’d figured it all out once when he had a decent bullpen session with it. He threw it to this kid committed to Mizzou and I don’t know if it’s landed yet 17 years later.

Gonna need Walsh and others to keep the ball down tonight with the wind blowing out at +20mph. Could potentially lead to a high scoring game

Vetok is a tough match-up for us. His slider is ++, and we struggle with someone that can consistently show spin in & around the zone. His FB velo isn't enough, but if his SL is on tonight - it could be a long night for us. I think tonight might be his first career college start though.

Walsh had some success against Pickle Smoochers last year, so hoping it carries over. This Pickle Smoochers team is more aggressive at the plate than past teams.

In case anyone is getting FloBaseball - go with the 1 month option (cheaper) as we play @ Pickle Smoochers again at the end of April.

I do believe this is Malakai's first start. his longest outing was 4.1 innings against san Francisco.

 

[Mr.Bojangles]

This game being on Flobaseball instead of espn+ is criminal

Agreed

 

[Samkellers_69]

Hopefully we gape that bluejay asshole, then spit in it.

No B1G (true) road team has a game on BTN. In any sport.

Fuck Pickle Smoochers

 

[HCFord1]

Seriously though, any well hit fly ball tonight has a legit chance of getting out.

Harvell has Anglim bunt with guys on 1st and 2nd with 0 outs. Even with 2 strikes.

Same situation with Sanderson and he doesn't bunt him.

Silva F8 (should be 1 run).

Harvell, gosh damn man. Hopefully Evans or Stone picks him up.
