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.

Double header. Screw that off day travel mess.

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.

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.

Sun shining, beautiful April day for some baseball. A little cold, that's it

 

Very Cubs like decision.

 

Does agreeing to a PPD game help either team as far as the suspensions?

Announced: The day/night DH will be Friday, July 17.

 

Opening the second half with a doubleheader.

I like it. Hate the ASB, so starting 2nd half with two games sounds fun.
