I suppose asking for a win would be too much, right? Maybe could I ask if we could lose in a less devastating way than the last couple of games? If not for me, think of the children,
We have everyone’s favorite, a starter, going today. Trent Thornton will pitch the first inning or two and then Ross Striping will go in. After that, I think it is Kate.
The team says that George Springer will be traveling with the team on the road trip following today’s game, and is ‘improving’. But there is ‘no timetable on this return and he’ll be, likely, doing a rehab assignment.
The starters for the next three days: Matz, TBA, and Ray. TBA might be a bullpen day. Or might be a callup. Or maybe they will have Kate go on short rest.

We are glad you are here and hope you feel welcome. As a reminder, we have rules. Mostly it’s “don’t be terrible,” but these days it’s also, “please debate about baseball and not the coronavirus or vaccines.” If a moderator asks you to stop doing something, please stop. If you want to discuss the rules, don’t do it in the thread. Email Tom instead. We also have a BBB Glossary full of GameThread lingo you can find here. You can Adopt-a-Jay here, and here’s a helpful tutorial on how to post images in the comments.
