    Nobody will be at tomorrows game at 1. Since it is not a scheduled game. So they wouldn't be losing much at all. Don't get why teams just don't make these games straight DH instead of split. The people that would go to both games would have to eat and drink sitting through 14 or more innings of baseball. So they would make more more that way.

    Yeah, I'd never pay full price for just 7 innings of baseball.

    Shortened games is good news for the bullpen. As in we shouldn't have to use it much.

    Seven inning games are for high school.

    I like double headers the old-fashioned way: back to back with a 30 minute break. And schedule them instead of using them just for makeup games

    Tyler Stephenson took some more reps in left field before today's game was postponed.

    "We are trying to make that a possibility because of the way he swung the bat all year," David Bell said. "We haven't done it yet, but I'd say we're getting closer to that." #Red

    Sorry to quote and be negative but it’s asinine they’ve not been doing this since mid May or so.

    The weather report I saw said it wouldn't clear out until Thursday.

    But what do they know?

    I see no reason why they couldn't schedule at least 1 home and 1 road DH each season. I bet they would draw large crowds. Make it a premium price ticket if need be.

    Probably a good thing we got postponed. Team could use a day to regroup after losing 3 straight.
