D'backs need Souza to start hitting but if he doesn't Jay has a decent OBP so can steal AB away from him. That team has a few under-performing players.

Originally posted by madducks View PostHopefully, it's not a heart related issue like Jansen. Buchholz has never pitched at Coors Field before. Mostly, because he pitched in the AL until last season.
Originally posted by rotoworldClay Buchholz was scratched from his start Thursday versus the Rockies due to right elbow stiffness.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

Interesting ... the Diamondbacks will move to artificial turf next season. Apparently it was tough keeping the natural grass from drying out in the summer.
I can't remember the last time a team moved from grass to turf. There's been talk of the Jays moving to grass up here but the consensus is that they simply couldn't keep it green without either keeping the roof open most of the time (highly undesirable) or switching the roof to some sort of transparent or translucent material (costly & unlikely).It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

watching a yankees game this year about 8:15pm, and two pigeons landed in shallow left field. i enjoy listening to the yes network game guys, and one of them says to the other, it's a little bit late for them? and the other says, it's a late summer day, they're hanging out. i guess you wouldn't have those moments with turf?
and there was that rally goose thing in detroit. which was funny. as they chased the goose and finally got it to fly away, just as everyone cheered, it couldn't get enough lift off and crashed into the stadium.
those kind of unscripted moments make my day.
