Expand Wonder if they would do a DH in Baltimore where the Sox play one of the games as the "home" team...but then you'd be taking away the concessions, sales, parking etc away from the Sox for a game so maybe they wouldn't do that. Baltimore may just need to go to Chicago when the 2 teams have a mutual off day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Twins just took a trip the Anaheim to play the Angels for a single day double header that got COVID'd out earlier this year. My guess is the Sox will do everything in their power to get at least 1 of the games in the next two days, and do a DH on Sat if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand This is probably where the Sox are at. Given how dreadful the forecast is for the next 36 hours, I don't know how likely that is. September 2nd seems like it'd be a possible makeup date as it is a week the Sox are off Monday/Thursday and have two at home with Pittsburgh in between the off days. Sox then travel to KC. Baltimore is in Florida facing Toronto and then heads to NY. So it'd be a tough break for the O's but they'll probably be 25 games back by then.

flavum Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I'd respect the Sox if they made an announcement now;; Due to expected inclement weather Thursday and Friday night, both games will be made up July 22 as a straight doubleheader....etc." They know it's going to suck.

Dick Allen Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 They get one of the games in and play a DH during the weekend. It's not that bad since DH games are 7 innings, the opponent is Baltimore and Sox starters are dealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulie4Pres Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 This is Chicago. Making plans based on weather 36 hours away is silly. Also, I'm not seeing this terrible forecast everyone else is. Rain showers don't guarantee a PPD game, and it looks like they will be on and off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) If Fry comes back I hope they send Crochet down to get stretched out and start. His command has taken a step back this year. I think he can still be effective at in the high 90s rather than 100+ because his secondary pitches are that good. He's not MLB ready if he's not throwing triple digits.
