Games of the Day
Zach Segovia debuts for the Phillies today against Scott Olsen and the Marlins. Since returning from Tommy John surgeryy, Segovia's hits, walks and home runs allowed in the minor leagues are very good. We'll see if he can translate that to major league success today.
John Danks pulls a tough assignment for his major league debut. He'll face Johan Santana in a very cold Chicago ballpark this afternoon. Danks struck out more than a batter per inning in his minor league career, something Johan Santana's done in his major league career.
And if the Indians can get in a second game against the Mariners, Fausto Carmona takes a spot in the Indians rotation against Felix Hernandez. Fasusto gained some infamy last season when he blew all three of his save opportunities as the Indians tried to use him as a closer. However, as a starter in 2006, he had a tendency to give up the long ball. Hernandez pitched eight fantastic innings in his first start. Wedge make want to stack his lineup with lefties as LHB reached base four times against Felix in his first start, and he only allowed five base runners.
Enjoy!
Update: The Indians postponed the double header once again. They'll try to play two tomorrow afternoon at 4:30. At some point, they'll need to find a mutual off-day for the two teams to make up the games, I assume in another double header.
