First, an important update: it turns out tonight's game here in Fresno will NOT be tape-delayed as originally scheduled. Instead, the game will air live on Sunny 1550 KKAD, with our pregame show beginning at 6:40 p.m.

As the old saying goes, there's no rest for the wicked ... but there are indeed a precious few reprieves in the life of a professional baseball player. On Wednesday, the Beavers enjoy the first of just five scheduled off-days this season.
