Today’s game is as close to a jackpot follow-up to yesterday’s prospect homer perfection as you can get. No, the lineup isn’t stuffed with prospects again today, but consider the following:
If you’re headed to the ballpark, look for me roaming around: blue BN shirt, blue and yellow shoes, not especially tall. Say hello, and I will very likely say hello back. It’s fun like that.
Today’s lineup:
- Dexter Fowler, CF
- Anthony Rizzo, 1B
- Starlin Castro, SS
- Miguel Montero, C
- Chris Coghlan, LF
- Mike Olt, 3B
- Ryan Sweeney, RF
- Arismendy Alcantara, 2B
- Mike Baxter, DH
Other pitchers who may appear today in addition to Lester and Coke: Zac Rosscup, Drake Britton, and Francisley Bueno – clearly it’s “look at the lefties” day. Also righties Gonzalez Germen and Brian Schlitter.
Kyle Schwarber, Albert Almora, Addison Russell, Tommy La Stella, and Junior Lake are available off of the bench, among others.
