Are we gonna play tonight and tomorrow??

I’m slated to go to both games but at this point it’s looking like both could be rained out!

My guess is both games will get played. Tomorrow looks to be trending drier by game-time.

I checked the schedule and there are plenty of make up opportunities for tonight's game.

1) Double header tomorrow (due to 12:30ish start time; end of series)

2) Double header 7/31 (due to 12:30ish start time; end of series)

3) This Thursday 5/16; mutual off day, we stay on home stand, Jays travel to Tampa

That being said, this gets a bit more cramped if both games get rained out.

Going to go ahead and call it.. neither game will have issues being played. Maybe a brief delay at some point tonight, but nothing serious enough to postpone.

I remember going through this with the KC series. One poster even said none of the games would be played. Not one of them ended up being rained out.

First it's Kevin Pillar.  Then he gets replaced by Kevin Kiermaier.  Now?  Daulton Varsho. 

They seem to excel in getting those guys who will not only rob home runs on a regular basis, but can hit the ball as well. 

It's like the never ending curse of the BJs - center fielders who have top-5 DRS.

It occurred to me Varsho kind of had the Cedric Mullins in Seattle heroics last night, just not in adjacent half-innings.

MLB had some clips of Schneider postgame showing some emotion - he gave a quote something like "for May 14, that's a (redacted) big win!".

Today's the 1-week anniversary of their team meeting last Tuesday.

Looks like I jinxed it.

This is my fear for the weekend games as well.  Looks like I'll only be missing Saturday per current forecasts, but knowing Baltimore it will probably rain all weekend anyway. 😖 Pretty annoying when you travel a thousand miles for games that you exchanged your season tickets to acquire.

Backup plans will be put in play but it still sucks.

We now are on sweep watch if we lose tomorrow….bet the farm on us winning!

Maybe I don’t know what I’m talking about but the weather looks worse tomorrow than today.

      Why does everybody want to jump and label a kid so fast? What is this, his 2nd major-league season? Yes, certainly they shouldn't go into next year thinking he's a lock for 30+ starts and 180-200 innings but we can't say he's already reached his peak either.

      And their defense is very good. To put things in perspective, the Tigers collective dWAR is +0.5. The Orioles is -2.8. Minnesota -4.1, Yankees -0.3, Houston -0.1, Seattle +2.0, Royals at +2.5. The Royals really standout as most of that value is driven by Fermin (catcher) and Witt.  But I think my point is that the Tigers have excellent pitching (starting pitching and bullpen) as well as excellent defense. And they're not putrid with the bats.  I would say the one saving grace about the Tigers is they don't run much.

      We could have easily swept Detroit in Baltimore, the lineup we have now is not the lineup they faced. It doesn't matter who the opponent is, just win.

      Both of them are important to consider here. They could have a mediocre offense every single game of the season, but if the pitching is elite (and it is!), it'll carry them.  We have 6 games against the Tigers this year. And yes, most of them were without the cadre of regulars. But here are the offensive numbers against them: .211/.282/.392 - .674 OPS They scored 20 runs in 6 games against them. Barely scraping 3 R/G. And a good portion of them coming in *1* game.  Out of the WC potentials the O's could face, here are their R/G: Royals: 29 in 6 games = 4.8 R/G Twins: 22 in 3 = 7.3 R/G Mariners: 27 in 6 = 4.5 R/G Tigers: 20 in 6 = 3.3 R/G Out of all the playoff teams, the best RA/G are the Mariners (3.75), Guardians (3.85), and Tigers (4.96). For the playoffs, you want to look at who you're facing on the bump. Which team scares you the most? Because if you can't hit against the team, it doesn't matter what the opposing offense is.  Also you'll want to consider the best fielding teams, too.   Seems to me you'd want to face the team you matchup best against *and* who has the worst defense and worst pitching, because presumably your 3 starters (Burnes, Eflin, Kremer) should be able to hold teams in check.

      I'd prefer Detroit - they've been so hot for so long they should be due to cool off. KC has been just the opposite.

      I'd say the Royals...pitch around Witt and Salvy Perez who seems to have had our number in recent years.  The rest of their lineup isn't too imposing. Wacha  -a guy I wanted this offseason and was laughed at for wanting him- has a 2.64 ERA over his last 15 starts.  He's the soft-tossing type that gives our lineup fits and, IIRC, he was great against us earlier this year.  Lugo has had a great year, so has Ragans.  Their starters are good. But they're 3-7 over their last 10 while the Tigers are 8-2.  A lot of the postseason, IMO, is catching teams at the right/wrong time.  This could all change by next week but the Tigers are hot, the Royals are not... Then again, I said I wanted to face Texas in the first round last year and look what happened.  So who knows.

      Would much rather face KC and to me it’s not close.    game 1 agains Skubal is an L. They’ve proven they can beat us with a bullpen game, a bullpen only behind CLE as best in the AL.
