[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

It's Niese vs. Hamels and the astonishing return of Marlon Byrd...

Let's get to know Philly:

It's a good time for Satin to get his season started, I thinks.

[Vic Sage]

Agreed.

Otherwise, how much patience does Sandy show with a guy whose arguably a AAAA player, when Lutz, Campbell and Seratelli are doing the job as RHed bats off the bench who can play the corners, and they may be itching to get Flores up here as soon as his bat gets hot? It never seemed to me that Satin had too much support within the org, but he just got hot last year and earned at least first shot of repeating it in this role.

I hope he does start hitting, because i've always liked his game and hoped he'd get a shot. now he has to do something with it, and soon.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Well, Flores jammed a finger the other day and is getting looked at today but yup otherwise. Soupy Campbell is quite a bit more defensively versatile and had a good spring. Of course it's a job for part-time irregulars.

I'm not crazy, right? Nix doesn't play third. He's a lefty.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, OK. It's ex-Yankee Jayson Nix, who became a Phil when I wasn't looking.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This is Save Your Soul Satin Night.

[Ceetar]

are they even gonna play this one?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

They say weather looks worse for Wednesday so they will try tonight

[Guest themetfairy]

Meteorologist Sheena Parveen speaks of periods of rain this evening with the heavier rain late. She's not optimistic about tomorrow's game being able to be played.

[Frayed Knot]

Game in Baltimore (just 100 miles south) has already been canceled, as is the one in Minnesota for the second time in three days (not that that one affects us as much).
Games tonight in the Bronx & Boston probably in danger as well.

Hamels first time out... Lunch!

[duan]

what's the story with this delay?
long/short. have bed to get to

[Zvon]

I have the comcast feed. Theyve gone to Philly highlight philms and I haven't heard anything about when it will stop. They might have said. Flyers on too. Ive been switchin'.

Second actually.
He took the loss giving up 2 runs over 6 innings vs the Dodgers last week. (86 pitches)

[Fman99]

SNY is saying they aim to start around 8:30.

This... might get two days off...

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Looks like were about to go

[Zvon]

Yep. Game on. Muffy singles in the 1st. Stranded.

Niese takes the mound.

[ashie62]

Game On!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Josh, stop by my office when you get a sec.

[ashie62]

Doesn't Niese have a reputation for pitching well in crappy weather?

[ashie62]

Lutz may be enroute....

[Zvon]

Niese allows a walk to Ruiz but other than that, nada thru 2.

Ashie62 wrote: Doesn't Niese have a reputation for pitching well in crappy weather?

Dunno. I know he did not like it in Colorado last year.

Mr T lead off double.

[ashie62]

A Tejada double....

[Edgy MD]

Let's avenge the Rangers here.

[Edgy MD]

HAH! Murph'd.

[Zvon]

Muffy picks up T, niiice.
