Hamhock Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Thinking about how they’d structure that trip - probably something like: - both teams play Wednesday day games, fly to London immediately after - Thursday off - Friday and Saturday day games in London (same as 7pm games on East Coast), fly back immediately after - Sunday night game?

Dolfan in NYC Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 I'd guess they'd shift that by a day and have them play the games on Saturday & Sunday at 4pm their time or so, flying back Sunday night and both get Monday off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. That would also give them a Fox game and likely the ESPN Sunday (night) game. Fly Sunday night, get home Monday morning ET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Justin Turner had his wrist broken after being hit with a pitch Estimate is he is out 6 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grilledcheese Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) 4 hours ago, RIPPA said: Justin Turner had his wrist broken after being hit with a pitch Estimate is he is out 6 weeks It looked and sounded real fucking rough. The idea is to shift Forsythe to 3rd, and some combination of Utley, Kiké Hernandez and Austin Barnes to play 2nd. It looks like LAD will carry 3 C on the roster, with Barnes and Kyle Farmer behind Yasmani Grandal, and both Barnes and Farmer can play multiple IF positions. Chris Taylor is also an option at 3rd, but Roberts said he remains the starting CF and would play SS if necessary.

Dolfan in NYC Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Adrian Gonzalez is truly earning his $545,000 salary. He's currently hitting .182, with 0 HR and 0 RBI. 2013 #1 pick Dom Smith is ready, but hurt, so A-Gon is probably going to start at 1st on opening day.

Turner is my starting 3B in one of my fantasy leagues. I also have both Adrian Beltre and Mike Moustakas. Beltre was available so late in the draft I couldn't pass him up and Moustakas went undrafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Alex Cobb finally gets the a four deal he was seeking. 4 yrs./60 mil I'd say this could make a difference if Baltimore were a contender. At best, they're a 3rd place team with or without Cobb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance that both wind up on the DL at the same time for an extended period of time. Right guys? Guys? .....guys? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1991, they drew just over 900,000. People weren't going to the games. Strike had very little to do with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
