The good news is that there appears to be a 'window' for getting this game in before le deluge.

The bad news is that window means starting the game NOW!!!! (6:47 EDT)



Game Time: whenever

Game date: whenever

Starters: one for each side, subject to change

Lindor?: maybe

Let's say Lindor is in.



Do you DH Acuna?



Martinez is garbage, Winker won't play


Would be a huge blow to Martinez 's ego, being benched for a rookie in what is so far, the biggest game of the season.

Two other options include benching Iglesias, whose workload Mendoza was careful to manage through most of the season, but has been ridden hard since Lindor went down, and benching Nimmo against the lefty, deploying Acuña in left.



Both those scenarios mostly depend on Lindor being able to start at shortstop, of course, which still seems pretty unlikely.

I would have had Lindor at short, Acuna at second (I think he played some games there in the minors ), Iglesias at third and Vientos at DH and had Martinez warm the pine.

Later

Not that JD Martinez is all that good against Sale: .220/.267/.488 (9/41 - although 2 2Bs & 3 HRs among those 9 hits) but the kid is not likely to have

seen much like Sale during his minor league journey so you'd really be throwing him into the deep end of the pool without swimming lessons.

The real question for me is how much Lindor we're getting — 75%? 80%?



Maybe Mendoza is bluffing, putting Lindor's name into a lineup of a game he expects to be postponed.
