Why all the Mather hate? He's slugging .575. Oh wait, that's his OPS. Who or what we're facing is irrelevant. As long as Jackson, Sappelt, and even Campana are available, Joe Mather should not be taking up playing time.

Start time about midnight according to the radar... no mutual off days though so they'll have to wait it out

They won't start a game at midnight. The Pirates are looking unlikely to make the playoffs, so the game will just be cancelled unless they're within half a game of the wild card, in which case they'll make it up on the day off before the playoffs.

I thought in order to implement the 2nd wild card they couldnt have a day off after the season to mak up rainouts.

 

The season ends on a Wednesday, the new Wild Card game is on a Friday, and the LDS start on Saturday. So I guess if the Pirates were 1/2 game out they could play the makeup there, but if it led to them tying for a WC, it would be a huge mess. Very unlikely scenario though that I doubt the MLB is very worried about happening.

[UMFan83]

PS, this has gotta be AramisFan's right?

 

[pitchcs]

How many people in attendance even at the start of this thing tonight?

 

3-4K?

 

If it somehow finishes, 1,000?

[Schwarber Fan]

Nope, but a good follow!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hasn't the rain stopped yet ?? [/whine]

[coldsteel]

At the game. This one will be weird when they play it -- looks like an old record-setting A's game crowd.

[coldsteel]

I can finally sit behind home plate! Or run the scoreboard.

[Fred Hornkohl]

I rearranged my whole schedule to take in this game...... they'd better play it !!!

[UMFan83]

lol. I'd imagine those damn ushers will be trying to keep everyone in the seats they paid for.

 

I am thinking about walking down there and seeing if they'll just let me in.

How's the weather looking?

 

I'll fall asleep well before this is over, but I'd like to catch a few innings.

[coldsteel]

All clear now. Probably a few sprinkles to get through, then time to roll back the tarp.
