MLB: Game 3 of Rox-Phils NLDS postponed

With the series between the Rockies and Phillies tied at a game apiece, Game 3 has been rescheduled for Sunday at 8:07 p.m. MT. Game 4 has been moved to Monday, with game time to be announced prior to the start of Sunday’s contest.

...Rockies manager Jim Tracy, whose team evened the series with a 5-4 victory in Philadelphia on Thursday afternoon, said at Friday’s workout that he was well aware that the weather could cause Major League Baseball to step in and postpone Game 3.

“If it’s a day where ... it’s not conducive for either team to be playing baseball, it’s going to jeopardize our fans from the standpoint of being treated to the type of baseball that has been played thus far in the first two games of the series in Philadelphia,” Tracy said.

“If moving it back because there’s going to be much better weather ... that would be the most sensible thing to do ... because, you know, Game 3 in a series that’s 1-1, it’s a fairly pivotal game.

“You’d hate to see a game be determined one way or the other due to the fact that the conditions were not good. Somebody slips that otherwise wouldn’t have, if the conditions would have been much drier and much more conducive for baseball.”

And you wouldn’t want the umps to be nothing short of nice and cozzi either.
