The Day in Review
Big surprise of the day: Both Florida teams (Marlins and Rays) own first place in their respective East divisions! While I don't expect either to last, it's great to see the small market teams dethroning the big market boys.
Injury News
- JD Drew left Tuesday's game with a wrist injury and is listed as day-to-day. I've always thought he was underrated but in the end, he's probably unowned or easily replaceable.
- Jeff Keppinger fouled a ball off his kneecap. One of the hardest players to strike out in the league this season, the Cincinnati shortstop will be getting an MRI tomorrow and certainly out of the lineup for an extended period. Stephen Drew (3-run HR Tuesday) could be available and a solid replacement.
Notable Performances
- Eddie Guardado looked good in the ninth inning for Texas on Tuesday. He's a potential source of cheap saves if CJ Wilson continues pitching poorly.
- Albert Pujols looked good in the loss against Pittsburgh. Did you know his OBP is .503? That's absolutely ridiculous.
- Plenty of good pitching performances from middle starters - Zack Greinke, John Maine, et. al.
No great sign-off tonight - my Penguins won 4-1 instead of 4-2. I was rooting for a Philly goal in the last minute because I would've liked the irony, but I guess a win is a win.
That's what you need to know about the day.
