Rangers Game Postponed; Will Play Split Doubleheader On Sunday

Per Anthony Andro:

Split doubleheader tomorrow. Today's tickets good for Game 2 of doubleheader tomorrow. First game 12:05. Second at 6:05.

Per Andro, this will be the first split doubleheader in the history of Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, and both games will be telecast on FOX Sports Southwest. Those who held tickets for Saturday's game can use those same tickets for admittance for tomorrow's Game 2.

Yu Darvish and Derek Holland will start tomorrow (in that order), with the rotation order for the final regular-season series of the year at Oakland presumably being Scott Feldman on Monday, Martin Perez on Tuesday, and one of Matt Harrison or Ryan Dempster on Wednesday, October 3rd. The earliest that the Rangers' post-season can begin is Saturday, October 6th; starting Harrison on Wednesday could potentially prevent the Rangers from being able to go with Harrison in Game 1 or 2 of the ALDS if they should end up landing in the earlier ALDS series, so I won't be shocked to see Dempster getting that start and Darvish/Harrison starting the ALDS on extra rest.

The radar never cleared up on Saturday afternoon, as heavy rain continued to fall over greater Arlington during the 7:00 p.m. hour and showed no immediate signs of letting up.
