    At least until Reed gets called up. Its also not out of the question that White gets some AB's against right-handed pitching.

    He can also give guys like Altuve and Correa a chance to DH some games which would be good. Marwin's positional flexibility is huge for this team.

    Definitely agree that Reed coming up will change things. I expect White will get ABs against RHs. Probably overstating things, but it would not surprise me if he ends up with nearly as many PAs as half the starters this year if he's healthy.

    It looks like you can stream the game on ESPN.com if you have a service provider that offers ESPN.

    Dallas returning to his home away from home....

    With all the bat flip talk, wouldn't mind seeing a nice Colby-Jack with a solid bat flip during this one!

    I expect him to get close to 400 PAs.

    Marwin was the opening day SS in 2012. So, he was a light hitting SS starting opening day as a rookie, didn't start opening day for the next 3 seasons, and then became the opening day 1B. Don't see that every day.

    Tanaka has a twitch. He's going to walk the first two batters.
