Hoping M's take two from Texas.

Hoping Oakland beat Baltimore and Boston beats Cleveland. Also want Houston to beat TB and Chicago to beat LA.

Excited for Walker's start tonight. He's been dealing recently.

Why are the A's playing a night game in Baltimore on a get away day where they have to fly to LA and play the Dodgers tomorrow? And then a day game Wednesday. Three games in less then 48 hours with a coast to coast flight in between. That's BS. Kick em while they're down.

I also don't ever remember a series ending on a Monday.

Has to be a makeup game.

Re: 8/17 - 8/30 Game Discussion Thread

The Boston/LAA series where the Sunday nighter was cancelled due to rain was a wraparound series (Friday-Monday) so it's happened before. Luckily that they were already scheduled for Monday as they played a doubleheader.


Anywho, going to be some exciting times as the horse race between the Jays and Yankees is just heating up. It's nice to actually look at the standings with a purpose this time of the year.

It's not. Been on the docket since day one I remember talking about it when schedules come out

First thing I checked and it isn't, just must have been a scheduling oddity.

They play both the A's and Astros 7 times.

The A's have to play an East Coast night game and then fly across the country and face Kershaw tomorrow. That seems fair...

They're burning Gray tonight as well, so there's a bullet dodged.

The Braves played in Atlanta yesterday. They play tonight-Wednesday in San Diego, then start a four-game series in Chicago on Thursday.

The schedule makers did some odd things this year.

I watched a majority of it. It was kinda like a SABR version of MST3K LOL! Actually they even had AJ Pier (ah you know his name) as a guest for an inning and it was quite funny as AJ is definitely not the new analytical numbers type so there was some good joking around going on.

I thought it was a pretty neat one off. I hope they do something like that once a year from here on out.

And who do you face tomorrow? Clayton Kershaw.

Oops, I was wrong. They go to Oakland not LA so they get to face Kershaw at home. Yay. So lucky.
