Don’t have the luxury of playing around, got to play the hot hands. Send Tellez down.

Didn't watch the game, but Jesus what is happening with Rowdy? 15 runs but he had 0 hits? Still 0 hits for the season too. Very alarming.

 

[MS]

Can’t believe Roark is getting another start. Trout and Ohtani must be frothing at the prospect.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Anyone hear a projection as to when the rain is going to end and we get this started.

Nice to see Honeywell making his debut for TBay after all he's been through.

Last Sportsnet tweet I saw said they didn't know. The ticker that pops up during TB/NYY that they're showing in place of this game still says "stay tuned for updates"

I saw someone on twitter say "it's going to be awhile" which to me suggests we might be looking at another couple hours of delay like last night. And also that language keeps dying because it's "a while" as two words.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Ok thx

Looking at the forecast....im skeptical it happens at all

 

[phillipmike]

Rob Longley’s educated guess is the game will start at 5pm.

Rendon is out today, tweaked his groin

Dexter Fowler has a torn ACL.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Roark is starting again?? The heck?

The offense will need several runs to have a chance at a W

As someone else mentioned, he'll be on a short leash and this is probably his last chance

 

[Da Cool Rula]

As PM mentions Rendon is out so one less hitter to worry about.

 

[Bjindaho]

It makes me smile every time NY hits Hicks 3rd.

What stupidity!

 

[Canada4Gold]

Games been postponed

PLEASE. SKIP. ROARK.

That is all

 

[phillipmike]

Jays game cancelled today. Double header scheduled for Aug 10th.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Darn. Bonus baseball with this Rays/Yankees game leading into the Jays game was the perfect recipe on this rainy day.

 

[Hoverhand]

lmao could you imagine if they started Roark tomorrow in New York? Ball is in your court, Chuck.

 

[MS]

Huge break having this Roark start cancelled.

 

[The Nemesis]

Kaitlyn McGrath reporting over on the Athletic that Montoyo said they're moving Roark into a pen role for now to give his rotation spot to the returning Robbie Ray.

Yay.

Thats enough good news for me

Everyone's favorite ex-Ranger starting at 2B for the Yankees tonight.

 

[Vector]

This is a surprisingly candid and honest interview from Grichuk. He never seemed like a guy who was self aware but he was very open about expecting to play every day, realizing that wasn't going to be the plan, didn't take anything away from his teammates and was very understanding, honest about his need to improve defensively and transition into right field.

 

[The Nemesis]

You go, slim Vladdy.

 

[The Nemesis]

I forgot Ray was a grunter.

 

[Vector]

Fangraph's defensive rating is very cold on Vladdy at first and I just don't see it. I know I've read in the past that their combination of metrics puts a heavy emphasis on range and Vladdy is probably getting punished for that.

I do not like how Ray always falls off the mound. It's the opposite of Mark Buehrle.

I think the Fangraphs Def rating includes the positional adjustment, so he would get kneecapped a bit for being a 1B. Every qualified 1B on Fangraphs' leaderboard except for the oddly credited DJ LeMahieu (who has more games played away from 1st than at 1st this season) is a negative on the def rating.
