The Dodgers’ Perfect Weather Record Is GONE, And Your Sunday Viewing Is About To Get Complicated

Saturday’s middle game between the Dodgers and Yankees got absolutely drenched at Yankee Stadium, forcing a full-on postponement and bumping everything into a Sunday split doubleheader.

Sunday Is Double Header Day, Get Ready To Flip Channels

So, Sunday’s a double dose of baseball, kicking off with the first game at a crazy 9:35 a.m. PT. You’ll need that espresso shot for sure. Originally, SportsNet LA had Friday’s opener, Fox was set for Saturday, and NBC for Sunday night. Scratch all that! SportsNet LA is now grabbing the early Sunday game. Then, brace yourself for the nightcap at 4:20 p.m. PT, broadcast nationally on both NBC and Peacock. Talk about a network scramble! Good thing we’re still getting Jason Benetti, Orel Hershiser, and Roger Clemens on the mic for that second game, right?

Who’s Pitching When? Good Question!

Who’s pitching for these two games? That’s the million-dollar question now! Before the rain hit, Emmet Sheehan was lined up against lefty Ryan Weathers for Saturday. Yoshinobu Yamamoto was slated to face Cam Schlittler on Sunday. Now, with two games crammed into one day, the order for Sheehan, Weathers, Yamamoto, and Schlittler is completely up in the air. That messes with everything for both benches, trying to figure out their arms for a huge series like this. And get this: this is the *first* rainout of the whole season for the Dodgers. Crazy, right? They’ve definitely dealt with delays, like that two-hour, nine-minute hold-up against the Nationals in D.C. back on April 5, or the 28-minute pause at Target Field against the Twins on June 23. But a full-blown rainout? This is a new one for them this year, and it’s happening on the road, just like all their other weather woes.

So yeah, get ready for a marathon Sunday of baseball. Two games against the Yankees? That’s a gut check for sure. And don’t even forget, Monday’s an ESPN special against the Phillies. Buckle up, folks!
