Game is rained out. DH tomorrow.

Day/night DH or single admission? Gametime(s)?

Not that I can make it, I'm driving up to New York to visit my mother. But it would be nice to have an afternoon game to follow as I was en route.

Pretty sure it's single admission, starting at 4:00.

Here were the mutual off-days and scenarios for the rest of the season:

May 24. Rangers play at Seattle early evening ET on the 23rd, begin homestand versus Toronto on the 25th. Orioles at home coming off Boston three-game set and waiting for KC three-game set. Rangers' and Orioles' sole scheduled off-day between the 3rd and 31st.

May 31. Rangers play at home versus Seattle on the 30th, then travel to LAAA-LA Land to play the Angels on June 1st. Orioles in the middle of a road trip, playing Toronto on the 30th and Tampa Bay on June 1st.

June 11. Rangers play at San Francisco on the 10th, begin homestand versus Arizona on the 12th. Orioles at home coming off Philadelphia three-game set and waiting for Pittsburgh three-game set.

June 21. Rangers play at San Diego on the 20th, begin homestand versus Colorado on the 22nd. Orioles play at New York Mets on the 20th, begin homestand versus Washington on the 22nd.

September 10. Rangers play at Tampa Bay on the 9th, begin homestand versus Cleveland on the 11th. Orioles at home, coming off four-game set versus New York Yankees and waiting for three-game set versus Tampa Bay. Orioles' sole scheduled off-day between August 23rd and September 20th.

None of these were a good fit for both teams; I'm not surprised the doubleheader was scheduled. I much rather would have had a rainout last night than tonight, though. Today would have been the doubleheader day, transitioning back to normal workload tomorrow.

This DH is terrible news. Now we're going to be limping into the rays series just like we were the Texas series... chen needs to somehow find a way to go deep and hold texas down tomorrow, and Hunter needs to just hang in there. In all likelihood the bullpen and all the position players will be shot going into a game with Dana Eveland starting. Not a recipe for success.

Texas is clicking on all cylinders right now and are probably the best team is baseball by a pretty good margin. If we could win one of the games today I would be very happy. I usually hate when games get rained out, but I would have no problem if we had to reshedule the remaining games with Texas :)

The last time we played Texas in a double header didn't we lose 30-3?

Actually the last doubleheader against Texas was in the second week of the season last year, on April 9. The O's won the first game behind Zach Britton to improve to 6-1, then lost the nightcap to start an 8-game losing streak.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs.

      Don’t sleep on Povich getting a chance to eliminate the team that traded him away. That kind of stuff matters. The little extra…

      I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.

      It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
