Because Brad Mills has been suspended for tonight's game against the Cubs, and Aneury Rodriguez has been suspended for three games for the Beanball Incident against the Marlins. Rodriguez will appeal the suspension, meaning he's available to give up a few hits, walk a few guys, while he awaits a verdict. Al Pedrique will manage the game tonight.
So your Tuesday afternoon poll:
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
