Game time temp 49 degrees. Get a damn roof on that shithole

[Stradling]

This makes me sad.  I had a feeling he wouldn’t be playing but when you head to see your team in a historic stadium you kinda wanna see him play.

It’s almost like all managers do it, who would’ve thought.

And you thought Sosh was retired.  He's behind the scenes being the puppet master.

Yes, it's a joke.

For sure.

Still think it's really, really dumb in some instances. Like this one, Bourjos over Goodwin. Goodwin has been just killing it, and Bourjos couldn't hit a beachball right now. I don't care if the pitcher is throwing underhanded between his legs.

That does suck, but at least you get to see Bourjos and Cozart snap out of their slumps.

We went to Wrigley the first weekend in May last year. Temperature at first pitch for a 1 pm game was 45 degrees and sunny. I love day baseball but prefer it a tad warmer.

The game will be on MLB Network, for the out-of-market folks.

 

[UndertheHalo]

Yikes.  That line up is rough.  

[Vlad27Trout27]

Damn that line-up...Skaggs better be on the A game with us facing a Lefty.

Right?  It's odd and he can't even be brought in later as pinch hitter/LF...or that Fletcher can't play anyplace else but LF.

It's like there is no versatility defensively with this roster 

[Jay]

What? No Stella ?! He's our best hitter right now.

Bummer man.  You gonna check out any other games this series ? 

Keeping him out seems like the right thing to do in this weather though.

Hopefully Trout only misses a couple of games.

 

[Taylor]

Skaggs is the fifth best hitter in the lineup.

I predicted he might sit out because of weather.  This is the only game I have tickets for but if I wake up tomorrow and he’s in the line up I might say f’ it and go.

So is Goodwin, but lefty/righty matchups for the win!!

This isn't on Sosh, I think it's dumb that most all managers do this -- especially when some lefties hit southpaws better and righthanded bats hit righties better.

With wind gusts to 45 miles an hour - this is where pop-ups might land in the bleachers.  

[Sherlock31]

Lol @ this lineup.... Is anyone hitting over .250?

you should go to every game you can while you're there. make sure to go a few hours early to enjoy the surrounding area. (and stay after the game for the same)

then hit Division later at night.

Just to be clear, so you think it's a great idea to get Bourjos the start and the majority of the game time over Goodwin?
