One of the many little things I’m adding to this site is a weekly highlights schedule of live matches to watch in the evening over here in GB. Once again, apologies to those of you unable to watch MLB.tv, I know this is rubbing it in! I guess I should add the standard disclaimer that the schedules and probable pitching matchups were correct at time of writing. With all of the games being postponed over the weekend due to bad weather, it’s difficult to be certain who will be pitching when this week.<\/p>\n
My MLB.TV<\/strong> highlights for the upcoming week (all times are BST)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Today at 15.05<\/strong><\/p>\n The weather has been dreadful in the Boston area over the weekend so it’s possible this will be postponed. Josh Beckett should be pitching against Ervin Santana if it goes ahead. Jered Weaver was scheduled to make his 2007 debut in this one but that has now been put back. It’s a 10.05 start in Boston, hence the unusual weekday afternoon start time for us.<\/p>\n Tuesday at 19.20<\/strong><\/p>\n Greg Maddux pitching at Wrigley Field for the Padres against the Cubbies.<\/p>\n Wednesday at 20.35<\/strong><\/p>\n John Lackey and the Angels against Danny Haren and the A’s. (EDIT-updated as Lackey is now confirmed as the Angels’ pitcher)<\/p>\n Thursday at 17.37<\/strong><\/p>\n The Red Sox and the Blue Jays do battle in Canada. Doc Halladay should start for Toronto although, because of their weekend rainouts, it now looks like Julian Taveras will take the mound for Boston instead of Curt Schilling as originally planned.<\/p>\n Friday at 19.20<\/strong><\/p>\n Those of you wanting to stay in and watch live baseball on a Friday evening this week can watch the Cards facing the Cubs.<\/p>\n
