Looks like Leury and Vaughn will definitely be in the line-up tmrw...not exactly a huge amount of success in those numbers by Sox hitters against Ray lifetime.

The good news is that the odds are low that this one is even played

Hourly forecast not looking good today.

Why doesn't Leury get rested.  We knew this was going to happen.  So annoying

Honestly, I hate rainouts, but skipping Dallas would be worth it.

this is the perfect game for Dallas to pitch imo.  3-1 record and facing a lefty.

I don't think they'd skip him. I think they'd pitch Lambert in G1 and Keuchel in G2 so they know how much bullpen that have left after Lambert's start.

Ray is like the one lefty we’ve struggled against though.  I don’t want to be a downer here, but Keuchel installs zero faith at the moment.  Hopefully he proves me wrong and give us solid five innings that keep us within striking distance.

So would it be a double-header tomorrow?  I guess I didn’t think about that element.

Also, are double headers seven inning games in the new CBA?

Nope.

Then might as well play today!

They will do everything possible to get games played on schedule this year.  No place to go with rainouts.  I suspect more than a few games this year will be played in absolutely atrocious weather.

9 innings now

Other than playing 2 tomorrow, only other realistic option I see is 8/29. Both teams are off and Seattle is in Detroit the next day so not bad travel-wise.

When facing Ray a loss is expected...if we win with Dallas on the mound it's a gigantic victory.  Basically, a no-lose situation.

I wish I had an insider to tell me what the Sox are thinking ... these are my favorite type of games to buy tickets to. Grab yourself half-price tickets and possibly get a beautiful 8/29 game. Unfortunately i think the DH is probably the most realistic. 

I'm up for a rainout ANYTIME Dallas Keuchel is on the mound.

Hoping they play tonight.  Wiiiiide open tonight.  Not so much tomorrow night.  

If your team is gonna win 109 games…you beat guys like Ray once in a while.  

From the Baseball Savant homepage. Leaders in expected batting average.

Sox would love for Keuchel to pitch one inning  or even better yet, just warm up and then the game get washed.  Nightmare scenario if Dallas is serviceable (but not great) and healthy this season and approaching 160 IP during the pennant run.  He does not strike me as the type to take his innings getting limited quietly.
