Playoff Umpires, weather, etc.

These are the starting of the rotation for each of the LDS. They rotate clockwise each game as usual. So Barksdale will do game 2 in LA, etc. If there's a game 7, A replay official will be behind the plate. The report doesn't specify which umps will do which series but it'll be clear once the rotation is posted for each of game 3 because that's when the 7th ump leaves the replay booth and joins the on-field rotation.

Thanks for putting in the work for us all season; don’t know where I’d be having to find this stuff on my own! Lol. Appreciate it greatly!!
 
If there's a game 7, A replay official will be behind the plate. The report doesn't specify which umps will do which series but it'll be clear once the rotation is posted for each of game 3 because that's when the 7th ump leaves the replay booth and joins the on-field rotation.

I see nobody noticed my mistake (which I just realized myself). There won't be a game 7 since these series are only 5 games :)
 
Ball should absolutely fly in Cleveland today - 11 mph wind out to CF for day game, and weather is as humid as the inside of a pair of yoga pants right now. Humidity will drop somewhat by game time but still should be 70+%, which is pretty high this time of year.

Woke up thinking I'd back Tribe to avoid the sweep but now thinking over due to weather. My one concern is that Tito will use every pen arm available, and if he uses them well, that could cut short some potential Astro rallies - but, he hasn't always had the Midas touch with the pen this season and that could be the case again today.

And to reiterate from above, thank you very much HB for this thread and your work this season. It's pretty much a daily read for me.
 
So who switches to home plate now? I know ya’lol have told me how the rotations work before but having a complete brain fart at moment, lol. Pardon my ignorance and Thanks for your patients!!
