Lost 5 hitters so far today and 2 pitchers. Looks like Porcello now won't start until Monday. Blah.

Think of all the 2-start pitchers that are now going to get one start that were active over better guys scheduled for only one start.

dillon gee was scheduled to pitch wednesday against the nationals. i'm just waiting for him to get pushed back to the weekend and then have to go AT yankee stadium. shades of moyer getting pushed to face the red sox last year.

wish we had the option of switching out a pitcher on friday (if he hasn't pitched earlier in the week).

Suprised that the Orioles are pitching Zach, this is the perfect op to skip and reduce the IP for later.
