Game two of the NLDS will have to wait due to ratings.
The forecast for today wasn’t conducive to getting game two between the Dodgers and Nationals in today. The baseball writers turned weatherpeople out in Washington have pointed out that the rain would likely clear up later in the day, but baseball has decided to ax today’s game and get it in early tomorrow.
Dave Roberts said latest word on weather is that rain is expected to stop sometime between 5 and 8 pm ET. Settle in

My tin-foil hat theory is that the baseball powers that be don’t want the game conflicting with the Cubs/Giants game, scheduled for 8 PM ET.
