MLB 2017 Season

[wadesworld]

If the Cubs were playing another team on the 8th I think they would have made the same request.

I guess we'll see if they change the Friday, September 29 game against the Reds from a 1:20 start to a night start following their game in St. Louis at 6:15 PM on the 28th.

If they have night game allotment remaining, without any risk of flex night games, I expect they will.

That is simply NOT true.  When the Cubs' schedule was put together, there were only TWO instances of a night game, travel and day game.

The first is the weekend we are talking about.  The second is the last weekend of the year.

I was referring to the Friday day games. No one else is under that restriction, and the Yankees situation was created by a holiday, not an ordinance.

Brewers win 3 of 4 against the Nationals, the best team left on their schedule, maybe there's hope. Of course both the Cubs and Cardinals also won 3 of 4 in that time keeping the NL Central race the same. But Miami lost 3 of 4 and Colorado lost 4 in a row. Suddenly that 2nd wild card spot is very much in play, only 0.5 back for the Crew and 3 back for the Redbirds. The Fish hanging around 5 games back but are likely done.

The Indians are really good.

Brewers are throwing away a golden opportunity these last two days.

I'd expect them to ask, assuming they haven't clinched.  I'd also be surprised if the city said yes.

The Dodgers lead over the Nats for home field has shrunk to 6 and they still have a 3 game series at Washington. 

Aside from that series, both teams remaining schedules are pretty easy.

What Cleveland and Arizona are both doing right now is pretty incredible. 

JD has been quite the steal for Arizona.

If the Cubs don't get back to the fall classic, I'd like to see Cleveland win one.  Or Houston to help with what the city is going through.

Well, it seems like Jimmy Nelson and the bullpen got fired up for the rescheduled game.

The Cubs just didn't have enough rest.  Are we sure they're going to be ready for the afternoon start tomorrow?  Might want to push that thing back a few hours.

Let it go, it's over. Funny how life goes on.

Nelson out for the season.... Ugh

Tough blow for the Brewers.

I'd still like to see the DH come to the NL.  A situation like this isn't the main reason but it's part of the picture.

It is a tough blow but I never want the DH in the NL.

Strongly disagree.

Its absurd that the DH hasn't been adapted by the National League.  There is nothing "pure" about pitchers hitting.

There's also an uneven playing field when it comes to free agency and roster construction.  That is my biggest issue with it.

Should've cancelled this one. Heard the weather was crazy in Chicago today.

Youre not funny, just sound petty.

I'm just wondering if Maddon informed Counsel tomorrow's game would be rained out after the game tonight or if he's waiting to do that until tomorrow at like 10 AM.

He had to come out of the woodwork after that embarrassment against the reds.

Oooooooo we got the tough guy Cubbies fan putting the Brewers fan in his place.
