Philadelphia Phillies
Atlanta Braves
I've been thinking Marsh might deserve to be higher in the lineup. I know they like the second leadoff but he was even behind Marsh yesterday and clearly he is hitting better than both Stott and Kepler lately.
It seems like they believe in the whole thing of the 9 hitter ending up being on base for the 1-2 hitters (oh yeah that's what you mean by second leadoff). Because no doubt, in terms of # of ABs and how well he's hit the past six or seven week, he's better than three or four of the guys ahead of him.
Rain delay.
good for hockey draft watching
Will the game be played?
There's really no reason why they can't do a doubleheader either tomorrow or Sunday (Phillies only have to fly home, Braves are off Monday).

Went out on a Friday night, avoiding spoilers, came home and thought the game will be almost over and it's the second batter in the top of the 1st when it was turned on.
Did get to glance at the Mets game while out, they got walloped by the Pirates.
