cabiness42 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 What's with the 1 game @Tigers 6/4? Every team doing a one game bonanzee like that? Long long long long range weather forecast calls for all-day rain in Detroit on 6/3 and 6/5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Meh. Overall. I mean 162 games of baseball with basically the same schedules give or take. Not like I end up going to any of the Sox/Cubs games, but it does lend itself to more excitement to have the games on the weekend. Also starting on the West Coast? I'd like to start in the division. 3 of the first 11 on the road ... But it is what it is. I'll still be there that Opening Day Friday cheering on the team with blinders on, thinking that is the year it turns around. Also will probably be Danks or 5th starter for Opening Day too .... 5th game, no off day before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I like the idea of the Sox starting the season on the west coast. My only hangup with it is, imo, the trip should be more than 4 games since Chicago weather in early April is usually for s***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 The Tigers start and end the season with their pitchers hitting. 4-5,6 at Miami 9-30, Oct 1-2 at Atlanta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Well I know I will stay up late the first night to watch and then after Sonny Gray 1 hits the Sox and they lose 2-0 the season will be over but I will be happy to be at the home opener on a Friday which is awesome.

3GamesToLove Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 01:53 PM) I despise the unbalanced schedule and always will. Ditch divisions. Balance the schedule and have the top 4 or 5 in each league go to the postseason. Of course, you can't do this with 15 team leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Opening day starts at 9:05? What the hell? One of my favorite days all year is ditching school and watching Opening Day from my house during the day. Now I won't be able to see the game at all. That sucks.

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Assuming that Sale starts Opening Day (which he will if he isn't hurt), can we try to map out which games he'll start? I just want to see how many times he'll have to face the Twins lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 4 games against the Phillies, 2 home and 2 away 3 against the Braves. 3 against the Marlins. can't get 10 easier games than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 QUOTE (bjm676 @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 01:11 PM) odd that they don't play Detroit until June. Ugh. I hate that. It means the second half of our schedule will seem like we always play Detroit. Same thing happened in 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Indians owned him in 2013 even more than the Twins did this year and have done little against him in the two years since (including yesterday).

flavum Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Just a few observations, hoping they're a contending team next year. 10 of the first 13 on the road, including starting in Oakland. Hopefully that means they stay in Arizona through Saturday, and pair up with the D-backs on some exhibitions. They don't play the Tigers until June, and play all 19 games in the season series over 85 games total. Starting the second half on the West coast...that could pose a focus problem. Playing the Angels and Mariners, and immediately come home to face the Tigers, Cubs, and Twins. That's tough stuff. The final 2 weeks of the season aren't that bad. Phillies and Indians on the road. Rays and Twins at home. Could be worse. It's not a bad schedule for a team that intends to compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bunch of teams make big jumps in both directions every season (see the entire AL West, hell almost the entire AL). Regression, injuries, off-years, career years, surprise rookies, a lot can change a year from now.

greg775 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 OK, this is, on paper, a reasonable schedule. If Robin is our manager, he better get this team ready to play in the spring training because this is very conducive to a good start. I know our team can't seem to EVER hop above .500, but here's what should happen in April. Mon, 4/4 at Athletics 9:05p MLB.TV - Win Tue, 4/5 at Athletics 9:05p MLB.TV - Loss Wed, 4/6 at Athletics 9:05p MLB.TV - Win Thu, 4/7 at Athletics 2:35p MLB.TV - Loss (2-2 record) Fri, 4/8 Indians TBD MLB.TV - Win Sat, 4/9 Indians TBD MLB.TV - Win Sun, 4/10 Indians TBD MLB.TV - Win (show some f***ing heard and sweep the Tribe; 5-2 overall record) Mon, 4/11 at Twins TBD MLB.TV - WIn Wed, 4/13 at Twins TBD MLB.TV - Loss Thu, 4/14 at Twins TBD MLB.TV - Loss (Team is 6-4) Fri, 4/15 at Rays TBD MLB.TV - Win Sat, 4/16 at Rays TBD MLB.TV - Win Sun, 4/17 at Rays TBD MLB.TV - Loss (Team is 8-5)!!! 8-5 would be a good start and not have guys like me freaking out. It actually is a good schedule for a new, veteran manager. I tell u what ... seriously, if Robin goes 5-8 with this easy opening schedule he should be fired. I realize this is a TON of road games early, but s***, sweep that series at home and play decent ball on the road and go 8-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 10, 2015 -> 12:09 AM) 10 of the first 13 on the road. Knowing Robin ... this is a recipe for disaster. Easy excuse to lose having so many road games. I still had us going 8-5. If the Sox go 4-9 or 5-8 I will be so pissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
