I’ve written here previously about MLB’s apparent insistence, in recent years, to play every single game as scheduled, completing nine innings, rarely postponing or suspending games even when common sense would indicate doing those sorts of things.
Two ridiculously long rain delays happened this past weekend, and neither one of them involved the Cubs, but I wanted to weigh in on what happened in St. Louis and Oakland.
The White Sox and Cardinals met Saturday afternoon at Busch Stadium. The game went into extra innings, and the Sox took a 6-5 lead in the top of then 10th.
