Paxton scratched from AAA start tonight?

[cezero]

Mike Curto, radio play by play guy for the Rainiers, tweeted this yesterday:


But now, Paxton isn't listed as the starter for either game in Tacoma tonight.

Will be interesting to see if Curto was just misinformed, if Paxton's rehab has been set back, or if he's going to be starting for us tomorrow.....

I think we would've heard if there was a set back. I'm leaning towards that he'll start tomorrow

51s[/ame] This will be a good test for Paxton. Vegas has a great Triple-A lineup. They lead PCL in runs scored & HRs.

Yeah, that one by Greg Johns was tweeted last night as well.

This is what the official Minor League Baseball website lists today:

Seattle Mariners Affiliates Scoreboard | MiLB.com Scoreboard | The Official Site of Minor League Baseball

The official Minor League Baseball site lists Snow as Tacoma's first starter, and TBD for the second starter. So maybe they just flipped Paxton down to starting the 2nd game. Strange that it's not announced yet, though.

podunk, it's a double header tonight.

Snow is pitching the first game, so it must be Paxton pitching the 2nd or something.

Way to go. The boy who cried wolf.

and paxton gives up 2 homeruns in the 1st inning

priceless

 

[NWinAZ]

Maybe they should have scratched him? Someone said he was being squeezed in the first inning.

Not worried about the HRs to much. His velocity was decent from what it sounds like. As long as he gets out healthy

True, odd to say but he pitched better in his limited appearances in the majors then he did in AAA (or atleast it seemed that way). PCL effect?
