Will today's game be just as exciting as Last Night's? Will we get Happ with the Happy Face or Happ with the Ugly Face?

Indeed, which odor will Odorizzi emit tonight? Will Luke be able to Voit his offerings? Will Gleyber Torres the cover of the ball? Didi be Gregarious to him? Little Gio be a friend of his?
That’s the infield folks. You can have the rest...

The Yanks need a long out from J.A. 5 Inning Happ tonight. I think that’s why Nestor is up. One thing is certain, Minnesota has a game plan at the plate and are sticking to it. Right now, they have multiple hitters seeing the ball really well. |

Cora protests Rays game: Late subs a 'total mess'
Confusion reigned in the Red Sox-Rays game Wednesday when a series of defensive changes prompted Boston manager Alex Cora to protest the game due to the placement of subs into Tampa Bay's lineup after the designated hitter was removed.
The eighth-inning lineup switch appeared to leave the umpires bewildered in St. Petersburg, Florida. They stopped the game for almost 15 minutes as they huddled on the mound, staring at their lineup cards.
"It was a total mess," Cora said.
In the top of the eighth inning, Rays reliever Adam Kolarek replaced starter Charlie Morton and retired pinch-hitter Sam Travis on a pop fly. The left-hander then shifted to first base when Rays manager Kevin Cash brought in reliever Chaz Roe, who induced a fly ball from Mookie Betts.
"When he brought in the lefty and we saw what was going to happen, when he put him at first I asked (crew chief) Angel (Hernandez) about it and he gave me an answer," Cora said. "I'm like, 'OK, this is about to get interesting.' And it did."
Of course, it involved Angel Hernandez too.

This is one of the first lineups this season in which someone who is hot with the bat is not benched. This is also a very athletic and good defensive lineup as well. |

I watched the game, and it was not Cora's finest hour....he was clearly confused, and the RS announcers said the only difference to the way it is usually done was to station the pitcher at 1B rather than the outfield....Cora's bench coach tried to explain the double shift to him but he clearly did not comprehend it....the reason the umpires took so long was they were trying to explain it to Cora...Cora would walk away, and then come back with a new argument...…………….while all of this was going on, Kevin Cash was in his dugout, trying not to smile..... |

Kevin Cash is a bright, young manager....sort of a young Durocher, it seems to me....

Good game management by Cash. An overdue lesson for Cora if he’d never heard of this...

regardless of the rule or Cora's confusion the odds of having a game changed as result of a protest is basically zero.
