Mariners game postponed; doubleheader starts at 2:05 p.m. Pacific time tomorrow

Posted by Geoff Baker

Here's what we were just told by Don Wakamatsu: Chris Jakubauskas will pitch the first game of the doubleheader and then, 30 minutes after completion of that contest, Felix Hernandez will start the nightcap.

"We just felt it was best to keep Felix in the same spot he was supposed to be in and go from there,'' Wakamatsu said.

The White Sox have flip-flopped and will start Bartolo Colon in the first game, followed by John Danks in the next one.

Wakamatsu believes the added day will help his tired bullpen. I spoke to Brandon Morrow earlier on and he told me he's ready to go.

The matchups are better this way anyway. I'd rather see Felix taking on Danks. Posted on April 27, 2009 at 10:08 PM by hitdeep. Jump to comment
