Interesting that Braun isn't playing. I wonder if there's paternity news.

That is one hideous looking outfield. It would figure that on the same day Nieuwenhuis goes down with an injury, Broxton is lost for the season with a broken wrist.

Looks like that's precisely the case:

 

Congratulations to Ryan Braun and his wife Larisa on the birth of their son Greyson Joseph!

[adambr2]

Jake Elmore has a .381 OBP and a -.3 WAR. That seems impossible.

Win today and beat the Vegas over/under of 68!

Pina and his wife had a daughter today too.

This is why there's really no point in us continually saying 'If Garza can just string together a few good starts.....'

 

He's not going to. He's going to give us one or two in a row once in awhile, then go back to stinking up the joint like he has the last 2 years.

Is that a tattoo on Brault's right arm? If so, that's pretty bad.
