  1. Bucco bot has Hayes starting @3rd today, but the MLBtv app has Castro @3rd. Wondering if he was scratched & the above lineup hasn’t updated? I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

  2. Suwinski is hitting .128 with 2 home runs in his last 30 games coming into tonight’s contest. He desperately needs more time in the minors. Unless he is absolutely unconscious from the first day of spring training until the last, I sincerely hope he will spend at least most of next season in Triple A.
