Watching the pre-game on SNY…
First 10 minutes was all about Murph getting the start at first.
Have to say, I’m a little worried about this. Virtually no experience there for a rookie whose fielding as a whole (both minor and ML level)leaves something to be desired.
I hope he does well. But more realistically, I hope he’s just less of a liability there than he was in left.

They’ve been averaging 6 runs behind Livan on the mound and haven’t made an error when he’s pitched yet.

For now and the foreseeable future, I am in stay up late/rise late mode, so a sunrise assignment would be bad. Post game would fit rather well.
Important question: how much computer savvy do I need to have to be useful? I am a novice. I can certainly type in a box, but that’s about where my knowledge ends. If you point me toward what I should learn (i.e. html code) I should be able to read a lot about it and learn from my mistakes, provided you can tolerate such a thing.

This is starting to remind me of first half of last year. After 1-2-3-4, (when Delgado was moved down to 5) that was about it for offense.
Now, we’re down to Wright and Beltran the only consistent offense.
Jose needs to gt going, Church out of that slump (and that double was a good start), Pagan hopefully will contribute.

I will certainly be trying. If my results are lousy, I assure you it will be because I don’t know what I’m doing, not because I fell asleep or didn’t care. I’m into it, I’m just lacking experience/knowledge. There will be something, however amateur, here later. I’m not participating in the during game chat because I find it distracts me from the game, I rarely did at the other place either. I’m actually scoring the game so I have a better fell for it. Worst case, I will copy and paste a box score.
