Chen vs. Harrell

[Mackus]

Need Chen to be a bit of a slump-buster here.  1-5 in the last 6 is pretty painful after the sweep of Texas.  Tonight starts a huge stretch for the team.  Really need to play well over the next two to three weeks.  Have a favorable schedule but after that it's brutal.

Not sure I'd call any July game a must win, but this game is as close to as possible.

You might as well just say every game for the foreseeable future is a "must win."

Also, thought we were facing Norris, not Harrell. That should make things a tad bit easier, but then again maybe not.

Norris has been removed from the start (likely traded), replaced by Harrell.

Norris was scratched, Presumably traded.

10-4. Should have read the main board before posting.

Davis at DH...Flaherty starting at first.

 

Buck must see that Davis needs some time off.

Glad to see that.

Should be a nice change of pace... the team should be refreshed after a day off, coming off an afternoon game.

Apparently Manny got hit by a ball while playing third during BP. Markakis taking ground balls at first. Flaherty to 3rd? Tonights lineup could be an ugly one.

Damn, that sucks. Will break his consecutive games played streak too.

Buck expects Manny to play tonight. Hit with a liner in BP, sounds like he's fine.

Would Henry play RF in this situation? (I see the comment Buck expects Manny to play)

Last game at the Yard for me this year, barring playoffs.

Lets get a W.
