So I just saw on MLB Network that today's Marlins/Pirates game has been postponed and rescheduled for October 1st. There is virtually zero chance that game will matter for either team.

 

My question is... if they'll reschedule that horsefeathers and make them play a meaningless October game... would they do the same to the Cubs? Assuming the Cubs have their position clinched would MLB still make them go back to D.C. for one game before the playoffs?

If they do the lineup would be all Iowa Cubs anyway. Don’t really care.

Then my follow-up question... if playing this game in October is a possibility why can't they send the Cubs back to Chicago already? What are they waiting for?

 

I’m guessing part of it is they want to get this game in if possible. The NL playoffs start a day earlier this year (NL wild card game is Tuesday instead of Wednesday) so they’d have one less day for any tiebreaker games. Since in all likelihood the only tiebreaker game the Cubs would play is for the division, MLB probably doesn’t want to worry about pushing back a wild card game.

Part of me wants them to force this game in because of the starter we are facing. If the game is made up we might have to face Scherzer with our playoff fate on the line. But on the other hand this is ridiculous and in no way can sitting around for hours at the ballpark be beneficial to the team

This probably isn't true, but I have a hard time believing they would pitch Max in a last game like that and not shut him down at that point and take a look at some youngster with upside.

 

I want the game postponed so that they can go a day without playing and the game might not matter later.

Let's discuss what Scharber Fan should change his name to:

 

Russell Fan?

Contreras Fan?

Bryant Fan?

Quintana Fan?

Almora Fan?

Heyward Fan part Deux?

 

NOAA Fan

 

Haha, nice.

 

I’m a little concerned a few of those listed are beyond saving. Namely Russell and Almora.

The way they’ve got the schedule set up now, Scherzer’s last start would be Tuesday Sept 25 vs Miami. So he could go on normal rest in Colorado on Sunday. Whether or not he pitches could depend on if he feels he needs one more good start for the Cy Young. Of course, all the games start at the same time that last Sunday so if he wanted another start, it would have to be that day. No way to know if the Cubs and Brewers would need the extra game before Sunday’s game.

Bryant seems like the most likely comeback story, and is the most critical. Get it done, Weather Wizard.
