I wonder what they'll do with pitchers.  I like calling this a bullpen day for Corbin and giving him one of the Wednesday games, keeping everyone else on schedule and see if a little rest helps get him on track.
The way Arrieta and Corbin have pitched of late they should just skip them.

This is not an awful idea.

Sounds logical. The bonus part with those learning on the job in the dugout is the exciting tweaks to the logical way of doing things.

If they skip Corbin completely, then they have to pitch someone on short rest Wednesday or find someone else.

Jump on your ticket exchanges today or tomorrow AM if you can't make the Wednesday make up.

Yes. I say call up Wil Crowe as the 26th man. You get maybe 4 innings out of him. Then let the bullpen do the rest.

You line up Corbin to take on the Braves. At least you get one of your good pitchers against them.

So is the GDT being used for tonight now? Or Wednesday 1pm?

so we will need a thread starter for today's game, which will be the first one played in this series, but will be known as #2.  You will be the boss of #2.  I hope it works for you better than this guy.

Crowe's not on the 40-man, which is full, so you'd need a DFA.  He's also injured.  So, plan B?

Plan B is probably Voth - scheduled to start for Fresno on Thursday.

They could always just go Fedde & Scherzer for Wednesday, Stras for Thursday, and worry about needing an extra starter v. the Barves.  Sanchez opens Friday, normal rest, then International Man of Mystery for Saturday and Killer Corbin on Sunday.

This is assuming all these games are played. I don't think that's going to happen. No way they get two games in tomorrow and today looks pretty unlikely. It's a shame since Philly is so injured now.

Gotta go hit a bucket of golf balls before game time.     I was out a bit ago and it looks/feels "iffy".     They may get one in but two?     :shrug:
