Were we on Sunday Night Baseball that Sunday 9/17?    My Google of Rosh Hashanah 2023 said it ended at sundown the Sunday.

I'm not Jewish either but I am baseball, and in childhood the Sandy Koufax stories I remembered most were about Yom Kippur.

The Google also reminded me Kremer's turn as Texas finished the sweep was just 2 days after October 7th.

Let's get a sweep, guys.

First pitch was at 1:36.

It's a 48 hour event spanning three days from sunset to sunset two days later. The two evenings, particularly the first one, are typically the most significant. Since last Sep 17th was the third day, it's possible he was more willing to pitch that day than on one of the prior two evenings. It's also possible Dean just changed his perspective and pitching on the holiday is not an issue for him. 

In any event, if pitching on the holiday is an issue, it might be relevant for both Wednesday and Thursday, since the holiday begins at sundown Wednesday. 

Thanks, I figured the easiest way to address the question was just to see if he has done it in the past, and it looks as if he had.

I'd be shocked if it would be an issue now when it wasn't last season.

Data point:  Sunset Wednesday in Baltimore is 6:46 PM, about 2 hours and 10 minutes after the scheduled start of the Orioles game.

I too would have preferred Detroit. Ultimately, it's meaningless, they just need to beat the team they are playing.

Hi Malike! I'm glad to see on in the message board again! I've missed your presence in the game threads.

I'm guessing it's no problem and Dean will pitch. As someone mentioned earlier in the thread, it'd be malpractice for the O's to throw Suarez 6 IP yesterday if Kremer was unavailable for this series.

I would guess that Dean will follow Hank Greenberg’s precedent of playing on Rosh Hashanah.

The current members of the Royals have 63 at bats vs Kremer.

They have struck out 13 times, have 10 hits, 2 homers, 4 walks and a collective OPS of 542 against him.

He has pitched twice vs them this year. He went 5.1 and 5.2 IP in the 2 games. He allowed 3 Homers but one was to Pasquatino, who is out. He gave up 6 runs, 6 hits and 4 walks total in the 11 IP…but the 3 homers certainly hurt him. They didn’t have a lot of base runners but they made the homers count, as they accounted for 4 of the 6 runs.

Pham and Witt have 6 of the 10 hits against him.

I think Pham overall will be key this series. Keep traffic off base for Witt.

For the month of September, only Witt had an OpS over 800 and it was only 816.  No one else was even over 700. Second on the team was 692 and third was 636.  So, this isn’t a team that is hitting well.

 I have to think the fact they haven’t announced Game 2 starter means Kremer goes Game 2 if we win Game 1 and Eflin if it’s a loss.

Has this been announced? I had heard they were hoping to activate him tomorrow.

Oh I don’t know.  I just know he’s hurt.

I thought he was done for the year.
