flavum

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 11:23 AM) Sunday - Danks Monday - Rodon/Noesi Tuesday - Noesi/Rodon Wednesday - Quintana Thursday - Danks (on short rest) Friday - Samardzija Saturday - Sale Samardzija could pitch Monday and serve Tuesday-Saturday Sale pitches Tuesday and serves Wednesday-Sunday Baltimore- Samardzija, Sale, Noesi Minnesota- Quintana, Rodon, Danks, Samardzija off Monday Detroit- Sale, Noesi, Quintana Cincinnati- Samardzija, Danks/Rodon, Sale at Milwaukee- Noesi, Quintana, Samardzija

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 12:43 PM) That was Bobby Jenks Yeah he was. Terrible. Sale hasn't been good against the Orioles, but mostly in Chicago.

Samardzija is starting Monday; Sale on Tuesday in Baltimore. Doesn't Sale suck in Baltimore?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 11:56 AM) Chris Beck is scheduled to pitch Sunday, Scott Carroll Monday, and Erik Johnson Tuesday. Cleto is Hahn's guy and has been dominating in Charlotte. I'd expect Cleto or Beck to be called up prior to tomorrow's game. I kinda hope Samardzija doesn't appeal. Get it over with. With Albers on the DL, they may need two (I assume they can bring up a guy for a suspended player?). Anyway, neither Cleto or Beck are on the 40-man, so it could be more complicated than bringing them up. edit: well, there goes that with Shark.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 11:26 AM) Ah, good point. Or Shark appeals and Sale doesn't? I am sure MLB will act swiftly to disallow the Sox to game the system. They didn't all serve the suspensions at the same time back in 2000. They could have one serve now while one is under appeal, and then the other serves.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 11:19 AM) Those sound fair for what they did IMO. Yeah, not surprising. Was hoping Sale would get by with a fine, but the clubhouse visit did him in.

Bad. https://twitter.com/MLB_PR/status/591998823649693696/photo/1

Brooks Boyer just mentioned it will be a split doubleheader later in the season. July 18 seems like a good bet.

It's Volquez vs Danks tomorrow, by the way.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 10:14 AM) Good looking. I think it'll be July 18th. Makes too much sense. Both teams will have four days off prior and fresh staffs. The Sox have the following Monday off. Plus, the teams could manipulate their Charlotte/Omaha rosters to schedule the guy they want to call up to pitch on the DH date. By the way you're awesome for stuff like this. I generally think doubleheaders suck for everyone involved, but you're probably right about July 18. An extra game on a Saturday in July probably helps attendance too.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 09:58 AM) I think Kev is right the players don't want to add another travel day. Plus, with the MLB's new rules having the teams be able to add a 26th guy, it just makes a lot more sense to have both teams bring up a pitcher and keep their off days. Yeah, we'll see. I would think the Sox wouldn't want to dip into a 6th starter right after the break where off days are scarce to begin with. They really have three options: 1) May 28, where it's easy to get back and play and have an off day on June 1 2) July 17 or 18 doubleheader, and use a 6th starter 3) September 28, but the Sox play 24 days in a row to end the season In my opinion, May 28th makes sense, but can totally see the DH in July.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 09:45 AM) Double header. Screw that off day travel mess. They could, and maybe they will, but Toronto to Chicago is less than 90 minutes. Chicago to Houston is 2:15. It's not really a mess at all.

Robin on the Score now.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 09:12 AM) That is too advantageous to the visitors. It's either that or a doubleheader right after the All-Star Break. Both teams have off days June 1st too, so it's not a bad time to do it on the 28th. Or they could play it September 28, but the Sox would be finishing the season with 24 straight games and would have to approve it.

May 28 could be a possibility. The Sox would have to fly back from Toronto on their way to Houston, and the Royals will be in town to face the Cubs.

Suspended game will be tomorrow. Today's game, TBA.

Game called off today. Makeup of suspended game tomorrow. Today's regular game will be made up later on.

Fans with tickets dated April 25 will be allowed to enter the ballpark to see both games. Tickets dated for April 24 will not be accepted for entry into the ballpark. Fans with tickets to the game on April 24 can exchange their ticket for a $10 outfield reserve seat for the conclusion of the suspended game as well as the regularly scheduled game. Gates to the ballpark will open at 11:40 a.m. Comcast SportsNet Chicago, WSCR-AM 670 The Score and WRTO-AM 1200 will broadcast the conclusion of the suspended game and the regularly scheduled game at 1:10 p.m. CT.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 11:07 PM) I've got tickets for tomorrows game, which is/was a 1:10 start, so how will that work? You see the end of the game. The people that had tickets tonight are done. They saw their game. But in my opinion, they'll be finishing tonight's game on Sunday, and tomorrow's game will be made up later on...maybe May 28.

I hope they don't play til Sunday now. Get the bullpen fresh and avoid Noesi. Plus a 4-game sweep would be a killer.

A lot of people on Twitter that don't understand that the game is in the hands of the umpires once the game starts.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 09:52 PM) Thompson has been really good considering how poorly he hit the last 2 years in AA Stonozonol?

Thompson robbed a homer http://www.milb.com/multimedia/vpp.jsp?con...83&sid=milb

How are we going to f*** this one up?
