Roto Riteup: July 10, 2015
Today’s Roto Riteup was written while District 9 played in the background. It’s one of my favorite original screenplays (technically it was adapted from a short, but director of the short was the same as the movie, Neill Blomkamp) and definitely one of my best films from 2009.
On today’s agenda:
1. Starling Marte’s injury status
2. Bad news for Steven Matz
3. Matt Holliday’s potential return

Rather than stick with soccer, instead I’ll shift to something we can all agree on: music! Yesterday morning the users over at Absolute Punk released their top 50 albums from 2000-15 (warning: language). As the website name would suggest, the list is largely dominated by the punk and pop-punk scene, however other genres make appearances as well.
On today’s agenda:
1. Alex Gordon’s injury
2. Scott Kazmir and Jason Hammel leave respective starts
3. Consider John Jaso

Yesterday the USMNT narrowly edged out Honduras by a 2-1 score. Both the defense — specifically the center and right side — looked shaky, though the 4-4-2 formation (with a diamond midfield) in the attack at least showed decent signs of life. I might be overly critical here, but that looked and felt like a pretty lucky three points.
On today’s agenda:
1. Cesar Hernandez, starting second baseman
2. Jake Odorizzi’s rehab progresses
3. Good news for Gerardo Parra owners

I’m not sure what the baseball equivalent is when a player scores what amounts to a game-ending own goal in stoppage time in the World Cup semifinals, but I hope to never see it. Maybe walking the bases loaded then a walk-off balk? Just a brutal finish in the England/Japan game.
