Lance Lynn vs Jordan Lyles

[Mike B]

Lynn is good, but has been hurt most of the year.  His numbers do not match his talent, but he has been better lately.  Lyles has had a few bad starts, but is on an extra day rest.  we could really use 7 good innings tonight.

I'll be at the game tonight with my dad - first game I've been to in probably 5 or 6 years. Back in town to help out with my mom's surgery at Hopkins tomorrow, and of course, they are about to get on the road to Texas, where I just came in from.

Here's hoping they make it worth the wait.

Enjoy the game and best wishes to your Mom tomorrow.

I like the lineup.  Hopefully Stowers and Vavra can have good games.

All my best to your mom.

Better looking lineup tonight at least on paper. When do we get to see Henderson?  Will they bring him up after the Houston series?

[Nigel Tufnel]

I think this is the lineup we've been hoping for... hopefully it works out.
