Florida Marlins...1B.Mike Jacobs not playing? Any know why?

[EWSPECIALTY]

I cant find any immediate information out there. He is not a big time guy yet. Does anyone know of a place you can find up to the wire active rosters for the days game.

But does anyone know why Mike Jacobs is not in? He has been playing well.

You may know this, but just in case...
If you're playing Yahoo leagues, go to your my Team page anywhere from an hour to 15 minutes before game time. Your players will have zeroes in their stat lines indicating that they are playing. If no zeroes in the line, click on the game link - if there's a lineup for your players team and he isn't in it, well, he ain't playing. If there's no lineup posted, Yahoo simply doesn't have it yet - try MLB.com gamechannel.
There's no real consistency to when lineups get posted on Yahoo other than the 15 min to an hour range - just check in often...

Hope ya don't think I was giving you a ration, I was laughing pretty hard.


It was actually the phrase about "missing the season's last series" that shined the light for me.

LOL The 20 hrs for the season didn't phase you?

Note that this only works through April 15. Afterwards, you have to buy StatTracker to keep getting those zeroes.

This said, starting lineups are almost always available about an hour prior to game time on many sites, including Yahoo Sports.
