Until Wednesday. Wednesday is a double header in Philly. Yanks will be the home team in game 1.

odd that they didnt just do a DH today

given how much time the Phils have had off and the Yankees have 6 games in 5 days from Wed-Sun. Yet again baseball just seems really, really slow.
Yikes

I completely missed the part about tomorrow’s game. When I first opened the thread. I thought the thread was talking about tonight’s game and I’m just getting ready to settle in and watch! Tomorrow, I understand...
so,

They will be seven inning games?
yes  
MetsAreBack : 8/3/2020 7:05 pm : link
all DHs moving forward are 7 inning games
Is that 7-inning deal just for this shortened season...

Or is it something they're considering going forward?

It's just for this season.

I guess theoretically, they could propose it in the future as a permanent change, but as far as I know there's no intention of doing that.

It's just a way to make it easier to get the games in since we're so boxed in by the calendar here and don't have a whole lot of room. Have to get games played and finished any way possible.

At first, it was another "ugh.. stop changing stuff" thing for me, but I understand this one. As long as it's 2020-only, it won't bother me.

Absurd.

did it rain enough there to postpone the game. the radar now looks like it is clear and will be tonight.
Rained earlier

Sun is out now. Gusty winds. Just went out to grab some food and there's tree branches down all over the place.

So, unless there's damage in the area or transportation would have been affected, it looks like pushing this game back was done totally prematurely.

The skies are completely clear now and the wind is dying down. By game time, it'll be a non-factor.

Easily could have played tonight.

MLB is picking a bad season to be making so many off-the-mark weather calls.
