I have left my phone at home, back on the other side of the river. If you have sent me the HotCut text, I have not read it. I thought about calling you or emailing you from my work email but this is not an urgent matter and perhaps I can even have a little fun with it. I will guess what the game will be:
John's guess: MaxCut, Washington at Philadelphia.
ScherZer is the best pitcher going; VelasqueZ opposite him isn't too bad; none of the other pitching matchups are that compelling: Foltyniewicz - Nova is OK; Wright - Fulmer has promise; Ryu returns, maybe you will go with a ToadCut... Phil Hughes - Derek Holland, ugh... Yovani Gallardo - Jesse Chavez...help.
Real quick a note on yesterday's 'Cut. Stroman pitched well and won: 6 1/3 IP, 6 H, 2 BB, 5 K, 1 ER. Grilli the save, Kendrys Morales homers. Snell lasted 6 2/3 but walked five (97 pitches). Longo 1-for-3 with one walk.
A snow squall erupts at PNC Park as Francisco Cervelli reacts histrionically to some chin music. The bases are loaded. I want to go to PNC Park, it's tops on my list. That and Coors. I regret not going to Chavez Ravine when my brother lived in Los Angeles.
B is at home and pinged me on my work email. I asked her if there were a HotCut text on my phone. She responds, "Yes. Phillies." Bingo! Sadly, I'll be unable to listen to it as I drove home because I won't have my phone. Alas, alackaday.
* News Alert*
Emilio Bonifacio is still in the league!

Back-to-back jacks: David Freese and Francisco Cervelli, who matches his total from all of 2016. Folty only lasted 3 2/3...91 pitches, egads. Ivan Nova is through five, one unearned run, 74 pitches, no walks.
Serious breaking news this time: the Blister that Won't Quit is back: Hill to the DL with a blister. That's a shame. Let the man pitch, Mr. Blister! But the show must go on and that show, my friend, is what you call the HotCut.
Eaton walks, Harper homers. That give Harper 5 RBI, one behind...Mark Reynolds. Also with five are Puig, Joc Pederson, Corey Seager, A.J. Pollock, and one or two others I didn't catch as I was trying to write this. Vince V fans Murphy and Ryan Zimmermann.
ScherZer is through two with two Ks. The upper-cased Zs are one thing that actually comes across better in phone text. Kind of a pain whilst writing cursive. Turner fans and is off to a slow start (.333 OPS). Eaton walks again, his fifth of the year. Eaton takes a bag, Harper strikes out.
P.S. These are the texts I had from you waking up this morning, the morning of April 8, 2017:
1) The Crads suck
2) I was far too bullish on them being cromulent
3) L3. Ugh
4) Choco, Kays, 'chos and Crads...3 out of 4 ain't bad.
5) Top 10 in Milwaukee. 1-1
6) Brewers win on a wild Montgomery pitch in the 11th!
