After the whirlwind of the last few days, we have a couple of evenings to reflect on all that has happened before live MLB returns during the British evening on Wednesday.<\/p>\nAfter the whirlwind of the last few days, we have a couple of evenings to reflect on all that has happened before live MLB returns during the British evening on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
There are five early starts on Wednesday, followed by two from the American League on Thursday and a Cubs home game on Friday.<\/p>\n
All times are listed in BST.<\/p>\n
Monday 1 August<\/strong><\/p>\n No early games<\/p>\n Tuesday 2 August<\/strong><\/p>\n No early games<\/p>\n Wednesday 3 August<\/strong><\/p>\n 18.05. Atlanta at Washington (Beachy – Wang) *ESPN America<\/strong> A Roy Halladay start will always catch the eye, but there are several other interesting storylines from the list of probable pitchers.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n Edwin Jackson’s first start for St. Louis went very well on Friday and he’ll look to make it two from two in a big series against the Brewers. Jason Marquis is scheduled to make his debut for the D-Backs following his trade from Washington, while Chein-Ming Wang continues his comeback\u00c2\u00a0with Marquis’ former team. Both of those games will be shown on ESPN America.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n Erik Bedard was originaly pencilled in for the Mariners game but following his last-minute trade to the Red Sox on Sunday, Seattle will instead turn to Charlie Furbush, acquired in the deal that sent Doug Fister to the Detroit Tigers.<\/p>\n Thursday 4 August<\/strong><\/p>\n 17.10. Toronto at Tampa Bay (Cecil – Davis) We’ve got two early games from the American League on Thursday.\u00c2\u00a0 The Rangers were one of the active teams leading up to the deadline, acquiring two very useful bullpen arms in Koji Uehara and Mike Adams. Alexi Ogando’s aim will be to pitch so well on Thursday that neither are needed.<\/p>\n Friday 5 August<\/strong><\/p>\n 19.20. Cincinnati at Chicago Cubs (Leake – Dempster) *ESPN America<\/strong><\/p>\n Friday’s game from Wrigley involves two teams that didn’t do much at the trade deadline, to the disappointment of their fans.\u00c2\u00a0 The Reds couldn’t find a deal or two to improve their club and that may prove\u00c2\u00a0to be one of the defining moments of their season\u00c2\u00a0if they\u00c2\u00a0end up being\u00c2\u00a0unable to retain their NL Central crown.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n As for the Cubs, they were only able to move Kosuke Fukudome from their group of veteran players, leaving them still without a clear plan on how the club will get back into contention in the near future.\u00c2\u00a0 Ryan Dempster will try to pitch those problems away for one day with a strong outing on the mound.<\/p>\n All of these games are available to watch live via the <\/em>MLB.TV subscription<\/em> at <\/em>MLB.com<\/em><\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 The early games being shown on ESPN America are highlighted above, while the ESPN\/ESPN America schedule can be found on their website<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 The full schedule for this week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s games can be found on <\/em>MLB.com<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After the whirlwind of the last few days, we have a couple of evenings to reflect on all that has happened before live MLB returns during the British evening on Wednesday<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[82,25,70,553,66],"class_list":["post-11543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-baseball-coverage","category-mlb-2","tag-bst-guide","tag-espn-america","tag-gamedayaudio","tag-mlb-2","tag-mlb-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11543","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11543"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11543\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11555,"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11543\/revisions\/11555"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11543"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
