And one imagines most, if not all of them, will not be among the hundreds that would actually go down to the stadium and watch in 35-40 degree weather. Just can't argue with that lol The only criticism that I have is that the game isn't rescheduled for Thursday, which is the pick day weatherwise and doesn't necessitate a doubleheader. Make it a day game. Cleveland has a home game on Friday, Detroit is in Baltimore on Friday. Neither travel is awful. But there are probably other issues involved, such as it might make one or the other have too many game days in a row. Or maybe both organizations simply prefer to keep the travel day intact. Meh,.... whatever. Its baseball. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. Sometimes it rains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully whoever the DH is, he will be able to hit better than the guys Hinch has been penciling in at that position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casimir Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 “ThIs sport is soft. They wouldn’t cancel a football game!” Well, if I were a hitter, I’d like the pitcher to have a firm grip on the sphere traveling at 90+ MPH and zipping around my head. Oh, and I couldn’t help but notice that “the real sport” in town plays in a comfy dome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this, I brought this up to my peers today at work when we were talking about cancelling the baseball/softball games for our district. It of course went on deaf ears so the kids are playing in 30 degree wind chills where they almost assuredly have no feeling in their fingers.

Motor City Sonics Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Game 2 of the 2006 World Series was worse than this and they played. And this game is almost as important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still feel the sting from the vibration of a fastball (probably 50 mph, if I’m being honest) against my ****ty aluminum bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
