Inner league play really diminished the intrigue of the all star game hasn't it?

Is there any possible way they would push back the ALCS by a day?
No. Zero chance of that happening. They'll either play tonight or tomorrow afternoon and winner plays Houston on Wednesday.
They'll try to get it done tonight, but will need to be absolutely positive the rain has passed. Worst case scenario would be a start/ stop and have to burn 2 starters.

Marvin, were you just on 790? Guy just called and said he was on the plane right next to Julia.
Not me- must have been the trip home. I'm currently in Denver on the way to Memphis.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Either team will be wrecked by Wednesday's first pitch…..and we're reaping all the benefits.
Pete Rose is a dick...but, I respect him as a player.

Might be awhile
It's not even raining yet and is expected to rain for a couple hours.
I'm starting to think they play tonight.

I'm calling my shot now, the game gets postponed until tomorrow where they'll play a day game around 3 Est
Looks like a 2 hour delay at least based of that app
They should have moved the game up an hour
Correct. I even rooted against them in 2001 when they played the DBacks.

They should have made this a noon game. Done

Can't. It's illegal to have the Yankees not in prime time. Punishable by death
This whole rain thing really helps us hard to argue rhat
Let's go rain!

The Astros will have only played 3 games (36 innings) in two weeks once the ALCS starts. That's wild and doesn't help my confidence no matter who the opponent is. Just need the bats to get hot and take some pressure off the starters.
I'm with Boone on this one. Definitely should be a night game tomorrow if it gets postponed.
Put a roof on that stadium. Good lord. #postseason

Would they start a game after 10pm local time?
TBS said earlier the grounds crew would need 30-45 minutes, pitchers would need 45-50 minutes once rain stops, so it's probably gonna be around then when it starts.bearkatag15 said:

LA writers are somehow worst than the east coast homers.
That should be all of AMERICAN sports, because the English Premier League doesn't have any postseason, which is the best way to do it.

Right now, there are all these little participation trophies so teams can sell locker room shirts ("Wild Card Participant! "National League West Division Champion!"). It's a cash cow for the league and it makes more fanbases feel like they have a lifeline.

So, you could say this is great for the financial health of the sport, because more fans feel engaged in the process. But there will always be fans that yearn for the days (probably before they were born) where the spring/summer marathon actually meant something tangible.

This last summer, I remember vividly telling a friend that the Dodgers should try to win 80-90 games. That they should shut guys down in August. That it didn't matter where they ended up in the playoffs as long as they qualified. I can see that being the norm soon.

Don't give more advantages to teams. Don't invent new participation trophies. Just play baseball!

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Word trickling out now if the game doesn't start by 10pm local, it's declared a tie with the tiebreaker being regular record
What a dillhole

Good lord that guy is a beating
The Astros are the only team that deserve to be there per his logic but that's the only fanbase he dogged.
California logic.
California logic.
So the solution to the Dodgers losing games is not to have the Dodgers play any games. Bunch of whining babies. Grow a pair. Sometimes the best team doesn't win.
He ends it with:
"Just play baseball!"
That's exactly what they did. And the padres won 3 in a row.

That essentially what the Astros did with all the off days, just good enough to win 105+ games with our subsFarmer1906 said:
