Don't blame them. Ratings on a Tuesday afternoon would not be good.

Although 5pm would not be great either. I assume that was only the time because of a potential dodger game later...

Maddon said Jake Game 4 no matter. Bigger question is what if he starts and he pitches an inning or two ad then it's postponed until tomorrow. Can't imagine he'd still continue tomorrow after throwing a number of pitches. Then the question is whether he would go to Lackey or move up Hendricks and then Lester if needed.

In the regular season its the home team not the umps that decide if they play or not. Then once the first pitch is thrown its all up to the umps as far as delays go.

Not sure if its different for the playoffs.

Cubs obviously would want to play today, but they would be better off not playing at all than playing a couple innings. Unless they are banking on putting up a bunch of runs early vs Roark.

Quick Question....This was always the 5:30pm EST scheduled game. Why not make every game time TBD....If fans are going to come to a playoff baseball game they should be taking the day off from work. Why the hell would they have not just started this game a long time ago? Weather was fine early and it is not like there was any travel..

This is gay logic??

Still playing right tonight right?

Ra77er · 10-10-17, 03:32 PM

What’s the update on the weather report?

I see overcast and light winds howling.

krk1030 · 10-10-17, 03:33 PM

Executives and managers for both teams in a meeting in the nationals clubhouse right now.

Expect a ppd announcment shortly...and probably a similar start time tomorrow with the Yankees and Indians playing prime time.

Yup...2:35 afternoon start if you're on the best coast.

Follow Kevin Roth on twitter. Does great forecast for all MLB games and NFL games.

Says it will be very wet during game time. Says possible to play through but probably bot likely.

Cubs benefited from the weather last year.

Blew lead vs Indians, rain delay allowed them to regain composure.

Ra77er · 10-10-17, 03:41 PM

Overlay looks ominous but I think it’s going over

does that look like the environment of a game about to be postponed to you.....

grease lightnin · 10-10-17, 03:48 PM

Tough to call, looking at the radar. Could slip by, could hammer wrigley.

jjgold · 10-10-17, 03:56 PM

They will play

no rainouts now

High3rEl3m3nt · 10-10-17, 03:57 PM

Rain delay according to Cubs radio. Not sure how long of a delay.

Not sounding good according to this interview on TBS

Yup...That was a yuge factor!!

krk1030 · 10-10-17, 03:59 PM

Seems like forecast has changed. Earlier in the day it looked like rain all night. Storm may be moving faster than expected.

Or they want a bs delay before the ppd to sell more beer and hot dogs.

Is this game going to start on time?

Asking for a friend

Under 7.5 went from +105 to -120.

19th Hole · 10-10-17, 04:05 PM

SBNATION
Of course, the game can’t be called in the middle no matter what, as Bud Selig decided back in 2008. So if the teams decide they’re starting this shindig tonight no matter what, it can’t end at only six or seven innings — they’ll have to wait the rain out or play the leftover innings on Wednesday. Which isn’t ideal.

funnyb25 · 10-10-17, 04:06 PM

There goes the rush to put the tarp on...this is done...at least we have soccer in a couple of hours

Ra77er · 10-10-17, 04:10 PM

Okay let’s not play ball then

hockey on tonight

smackdown

forum drama - shooter in tt, kraken going under, uscphilly morini, badge ceremony etc.

d2bets · 10-10-17, 04:10 PM

So ridiculous. It's obvious that once the rain hits it will be basically continuous all night. What's the point of delaying. I would heavy chalk they never start this game today. Sucks.

i would bet the opposite. did you see the radar. the storm has come and gone in peoria in about 3 hours...........it will hit chicago in an hour and then be gone at 8:45eastern

perfect time to get the game going. no rain after that either. guaranteed they play tonight
