Let's sweep two, however few in innings it takes. Stroman vs. Nola vs. normal baseball rules.

Lineup apparently has Pillar in Right and Nimmo in Center. That seems...odd.

I haven't been paying attention, did Stroman talk his way into getting moved up?

I thought it was a big controversy that he had to sit five days.

Somebody probably reminded him that starters throw between starts anyhow, so consider that last effort his between-start throwing.

OE, working, not listening to GKR.

But at least he swung, right, Dom?

McNeil's last two or three steps there looked kind of awkward. He should have been in there, but I think the Phils are getting this overturned.

I like (A) Anthony DiComo plugging traditional tabloids, despite working for a digital outlet — somebody should get him on board early to help promote the Tabloid Cover Derby.



I like (B) that somebody, somewhere, thinks an Alan Parsons Project reference is just the sort of marketing hook in 2021 that's going to move the merchandise.
