MLB 2018 Season

[jsglow]

This could get really interesting by mid week.  And either way, doesn't it seem like we're potentially heading toward a Crew/Cubs postseason battle?

Cubs sphincter certaintly tightening. Next series to decide things?

[wadesworld]

How is it ironic?  If they didn't start the Friday game like the Cubs did last year, everything wouldn't be messed up.

Also I'm guessing Cubs fans will let it go in a day or two unlike you who is still complaining about a game you won a year and a half later.

It's not ironic? Okay.

It's a shame that it would most likely be occur in the NLDS.  The Crew and Cubs are the two best teams in the NL and they should be meeting in the NLCS with the world series on the line.

Lol they were down 3-1 in the World Series. I think this barely registers on the sphincter tightening scale.

This. Cubs and Brewers are clearly top two.

What would really be a shame is if the Brewers or Cubs had to play (and lost) the WC game against a team that's 6+ games back.

This happened in 2015 when the Cardinals, Pirates, and Cubs were the best three teams in baseball and all eliminated each other for one NLCS spot.  I'm glad the Cubs won but that really sucks for the Cardinals and Pirates.

I don't know, based on the posts this thread I'm seeing some symptoms of tightened sphincters

And today's game is delayed and the radar doesn't look promising. Pittsburgh postponed their game this morning. They should probably do the same here.

If they don't play today, however, there aren't really any good options. If they move it to the end of the season as a if necessary game the Nationals could lose a gate. Both teams have an off day Thursday but it's expected to rain all day due to a hurricane. They could move the game to Wrigley (like the Marlins and Brewers last season) and give the gate to the Nationals.

They would probably move it to Miller actually

That's true. It seems to be the "neutral" site location with the roof.

MLB screwed Cubs

[cheebs09]

Big sweep for the Crew. It was good to see Schoop have a big moment.

Hopefully they can ride this momentum into a good performance in Chicago. It looks like the Cubs are skipping Montgomery. Should be a fun series.

How?  The game has to be made up.

Three best teams in baseball? in the regular season, perhaps. But those three were a combined 5-8 in the playoffs and none came close to reaching the World Series. The American League (as has consistently been the case for decades until this year) was the better league and it's champ easily beat the team that blew the Cubs away. KC was the best team in baseball in 2015.

23 straight days with games. Could easily have moved it to oct 1st if it ends up mattering. I honestly thought that the mlbpa had some kind of mandatory off days. I also doubt the game will actually be played as a hurricane is incoming.

[TallTitan34]

I don't think MLB would screw the Cubs. It's in their best interest to have them and their market in the playoffs.

I do think they handled this weekend poorly though.

They didn't have a game today.  But why should they get an extra day at the end of the season?  This is how rescheduling is always done so I don't see the issue.

And the hurricane won't be there on Thursday.

Do you really think a rainout where you are at the stadium all day is the same as an off day in between 2 Home series?

I think Cub fans are whining again.

[wadesworld]

I think Cub fans are whining again.

Yup.

The Brewers played 21 games in 20 days.  And they had to do it with a 25 man roster, not a 40 man roster.

That's baseball.  Don't like it?  Put a roof over your stadium.

[TallTitan34]

Lol you guys still bring up a rain out from a year and a half ago THAT YOU WON!

How many times this year has a Cubs fan complained that the Brewers got three extra home games last season?
