Trying to avoid doubleheader vs a team not in the division. Rays don’t come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A DH on Wednesday shouldn't be too painful. The Sox travel to Minnesota, so hardly anything there, and Tampa is off on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already are going to have the thinnest of thin crowds since they changed the time, and everyone has a freebie anyway. It would really be a shame if some player got injured today due to conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Smart thing to do would have been to call it off this morning and play a straight doubleheader tomorrow starting at 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 The White Sox should get a cold weather compensation draft pick. It would be as arbitrary and unfair as the competitive balance picks, which is exactly why they should exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point it seems more likely they'll move up tomorrows game to tonight for a doubel header and just make one day as miserable as possible rather than smoothing out the issue across later dates.

Dick Allen Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Anyone looking for a bargain, buy some $6 club level seats on stubhub. Even with the fees it's a steal, as any unused tickets for today's game can be exchanged for any other game except the Cubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent amount of teams would get those: Sox, Cubs, Twins, Tigers, Red Sox, Yankees, Mets, Pirates, Indians, Reds, Rockies, Orioles, Nats.

Saw that on Twitter right after my post. And ha... it would suck. However, at the same time. Ain't nobody buying dipping dots in the snow. So long as you bundle up, you're basically getting paid to sit at a baseball game. Doing nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
