Sigh

[Duren, Duren]

Not good. With no off days it puts a strain on the pitching staff and more wear and tear on the players. The team can't afford to rest key players when seeking a sweep. Hopefully they get a big lead in the first game, pull some players and have them fresher for game two. 

Regardless, they go into Toronto and have to play the next day. But maybe the Jay's will be affected by their long travel and time zone adjustments.

Which outfielder can pitch these days?

[Taylor]

[TroutField]

Damn that’s a bummer, not only we do we not get a game today but the added strain on the team and pitching staff tomorrow when we desperately needed a sweep

[BTH]

Two questions, if anyone knows the answer to them:

1. When a 27th man gets called up for a DH and subsequently gets sent down, does that count towards a player’s maximum of 5 options per season?

2. Can they recall anyone to be the 27th man, or does that player have to be 10/15 days removed from the last time they were optioned?

Ugh… too bad they aren’t 7 inning games. Bullpen could be seriously taxed… how do the metrics of who can pitch tomorrow work w doubleheaders? 

[Kendo36]

Gut punch. Imagine the mental mistakes this team can pull off with two games in one day. 

[TroutField]

Sandy needs to go 7+ solid innings in an ideal world and pray the offense gives you some breathing room, if Silseth can give us 5-6 it would be icing on the cake. 

really puts the bullpen in a tough spot in Toronto, but we need to focus on tomorrow first. 

 

[REDneck]

I am literally old man yelling at clouds on this one!

[Stradling]

Bring up Herget. He can eat multiple innings if needed. 

[Angelsfan1984]

too much to ask for with back to back perfect games in the double header?

Luckily, Ohtani pitches Friday. Hopefully he can also go 7+ innings. That would take a lot of pressure off the pen.

Neto & Drury with an extra day off!  Nice!

Probably means they'll sit Neto in the 2nd game if he plays the 1st.

[Blarg]

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

We're allowed an extra player, who do we call up.

Crash would be a great vet presence and backup catcher on this ballclub.

To bad he retired and bought a ranch in MT.

Or sit both because it's his scheduled day off.

Hey, you gotta follow the matrix.

The rain is Arte's fault.

Rats! It's hard enough to sweep, much less on the road. Now we have to contend with a doubleheader. If nothing else, we need the opener.

Hopefully, today is some semblance of a rest day.
