Delay the start until the end of the Bears game!

 

Hell no man. I have to work tomorrow morning.

Who wants a beer tonight?

Hell no man. I have to work tomorrow morning.

 

No class until 1 for me

Christ on a bike, just win the game. Chris Sale, show me that you're a truly elite pitcher in this league tonight.

If it starts raining at 5pm and it looks like a 3 hour rain delay (which means a 10p start), I wonder if they'll just bang it and make the Tigers come back Monday.

 

Before the game starts, it's in the Sox hands, right?

Yes, Sox control it. Once game starts, it's the umps.

Ah to be youthful and back in school. Enjoy it while it last. You have a 1pm Friday class?

He did that when he overpowered the Yankees.

Can't the Bears show some respect and just go away until the Sox are done? Jackasses...

I say in all seriousness, f*** the Bears. It is baseball season. I'll worry about you later.

It will be interesting, as you'd think neither team would want to pitch their main guy in poor conditions.

Not even poor conditions, but having the delay in the middle and not having them come back. I think they don't start the game if there's rain around, and wait until they have the window. Not going to start to have it delayed a half hour later.

 

Yes, Sox control it. Once game starts, it's the umps.

Well yes and no. They are in constant communication with the umpires and opposing manager to make the best decision, you aren't going to go preparing to start the game to have the umps let you know that as soon as you roll the tarp off, they are going to put it in a delay. It's really a joint decision using all information they have.

 

Even in game, it's the umps call, sure, but you have Bossard coming out giving them updates on the radar and how much rain the field can take, etc, helping them figure out when to bring the tarp out or push through.

I think it is the home team decision. But, my guess is they will play if they can regardless of when it ends. Both teams only have about 2 hour flights at the most to get to the next series. Sox in Minnesota and who cares swhere the Tigers go to

Guess we'll live and die by this lineup. DH Johnson again please.

Sure doesn't help the team when he sits on the bench. Think you might go with the hot hand here and we haven't had too many

D-Wise is the only guy with an average higher than .260 vs Verlander. So really, you'd have to sit De Aza or Rios to have it make sense for Johnson to DH.

Dayan.

This.

 

He will have 3Ks

Dayan.

 

vs. Verlander:

 

Dayan: 9 PA, 0 H, 3 K

Johnson: 9 PA, 0 H, 3 K, 2 BB

Dayan.

I'd be OK with that. Wise in LF, Johnson DH, Dayan sitting for maybe a PH chance against a lefty late in the game.

 

Sale K's 21 as Beckham goes yard in a Sox 1-0 victory.
