It is the absolute worst.....only slightly worse than the day off the following day. This, of course, is surpassed by that second game being called on account of arctic conditions.
I wish they'd start on the 15th, load up the schedule with Saturday day/night doubleheaders, 9 innings each. (Actually, I'd like real doubleheaders but that's too much for too many. Their loss.)
As for the work stoppage, I'll take the over. I go with baseball starting around 5/1.
Pshaw, it's all warm and sunny in Boston then. Never snows. Ever.
So when should the Sox play their first home game? April 15? May 1? June? There is a 28% chance of precipitation in Boston on March 31. On April 30th there is, wait for it, 28% chance of precipitation. It's definitely colder on March 31 than April 30 but unless you want northern teams to not play a home game until June that's going to be an issue.
I feel like people complain about this every year, and like 60-70 percent of the time the weather is fine.
The other thing, is the warm-weather teams don't want to have their schedules frontloaded in April and May before school lets out. I think it makes sense, in general, to have Boston and Minnesota open on the road and Tampa and LAA play the first week at home, but it's not possible to keep the northermost cities on the road to completely shield them from dates played in potential freezing conditions.
Fine in the sense that the game doesn't get called off, sure. Fine in the sense that the weather is actually suitable for playing and watching baseball, I doubt it's that high.
2021 - 5 with 9 other games later in April/May
2019 - 8 with 6 other games
2018 - 21 with 14 other other games
2017 - 2, no other games
2016 - 9, 1 other game
2015 - 2, 4 other games
2014 - 6, 10 other games
2013 - 3, 16 other games
2012 - 1, 2 other games
2011 - 4, 4 other games
2010 - 1, 3 other games
I dunno, just doesn't seem like that big a problem to me, and I've sat through a few of those games!
As have I (though only one at the big league level). I'll be happy to never have to again.
I don't know, but many people who are connected seem to think some sort of work stoppage is near a mortal lock.
It seems to me that there is virtually no reporting on the issue which to me is either very very good news or very very bad news.
It is odd that there has been almost complete radio silence on this, relative to the last time relations were this acrimonious prior to a CBA negotiation. I can't imagine it's because both sides had the good sense not to whine about their horrible plight while the country was dealing with something more important.
After Opening Day it really doesn't matter. You have a chance to be THE story everywhere at once, so take it. The other 15 teams get bonus pops whether their home openers are 3, 6, or 9 days later.
