There will be a few flip flops during this 3-game series.  Hang in there, I'll try to get things straight for you.

On the bump:

RHP Shimpf for White

RHP Mayes for Orange

 

[joeywa]

Next Monday's game is at 4 PM.  That game will be 9 innings; this week's games are 7 innings.

 

[joeywa]

Clemens, Marlow & Lee will not play defense today; only bat for the orange

Schimpf is a FR out of Sacramento, CA.

Schimpf

Fastball that touches 90, Curve, Slider and Change.

Good to see that they've got the confidence in Schimpf to trot him out there to start the week. That's a lot of pressure for an 18 year old.
