on the plus side of the rainout

[hellifino]

Raburn shouldn't be playing with a Righty on the mound tonight. but then again, he shouldn't be playing at all.

Same lineups, not much you can do. You can replace him and Inge I suppose but neither would be available later in the game. I don't have a problem with that but I doubt Leyland wants to not have some of his players for the late innings. We'll see.

because of the need to leave the possibility for subs open later, the only change i would make would be removing maggs and inserting dirks against nova (also possibly betemit for inge, kelly for defense later if needed). we really cant afford to remove raburn for santiago at this point because we didnt bring worth and theres noone else who can back up 2nd.

Maggs I would leave in, but yea, Raburn should not be in with a Righty for them and a GB pitcher for us.

Inge is 50/50, cause he is better then Betemit on D, but horrible at the plate...once again Fister going to wonder where his RS is.

If you pull Raburn you have Ramon in his place, and have Kelly who does play middle infield though not in a game this year, on the bench in an emergency.

The bad that could happen if you replace guys, another rain out or two and CC is back out with guys unable to play and lefties in now in place of righties?

That would a total cluster fk.

that too, though i think the weather is supposed to be clear tomorrow so if theres another rainout i think it would be only tonight and it would still be fister/nova continuing game 1.

Maybe we can get Scherzer and their number 3 and Porcello and Burnett all pitch in game 1.
