Ross Gload Fan Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 My co worker said he heard on NBC 5 this morning rumblings of the game possibly being moved to Friday because off the weather. Has anyone heard anything about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieZisk Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I have not heard anything but I hope it is true. It's supposed to start raining tonight and not stop until tomorrow night so it definitely would be the right decision. What is the purpose of having that buffer day after the opener if not to use it for a situation like this? It would also help move many of those unsold opening day tickets. Do it JR!

Buehrle>Wood Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Hopefully they make everyone show up at the park then push the game back a day again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisox378 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I see no rain in forcast for tomorrow? Is this just another ploy to make money? Let's play ball already, enough with the greed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect Vision Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I have opening day tickets but I will not be going tomorrow. I went on opening day 2017 and I will never do that again. If the Sox try to squeeze the game in and have poor attendance, it's their own damn fault. If they move the game to Friday either tonight or early tomorrow morning, then I will go on Friday and buy food/drinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 2017 was an absolute disgrace. In 2016 they played in the snow. Sat out there in 2017 for 3 hours with no rain. They act like it is 1915 where you struggle to communicate things to people. If I go out there tomorrow, I will not be coming back Friday.

That's my plan as well. Just googled and nothing about delay as of yet, but we'll see. I'm taking tomorrow off if they don't cancel it today and if it doesn't get in, then oh well, I'll just have a fun day with my friends and not come back Friday.

Bob Sacamano Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I'm not going this year, but I think my plan for when I do go to home openers is to take both days off. If they play the scheduled day, then I just come into the office. If they play the second day and give notice that it's being pushed back, I will go to the office the first day. If they PPD when everyone is already there, then I guess I just change nothing and have both days off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I'm glad 2017 was as terrible for everyone else as it was for me. At least they brought the effing chevy trucks out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Vision Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Tomorrow has such a similar feel to 2017. The rain will be on and off, so there will be this constant tease that the game will be played. They may even take the tarp off and warm up..........then put the tarp back on because more rain is developing. Eventually it will be called. The Sox need to understand that they have discretion to postpone the game early and not go through this dog and pony show. A repeat of 2017 will just do more to damage the franchise and will cost them money in the long run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Just my humble opinion...but yesterday was the day to announce the change to Friday. We'll see if they do it today, but I doubt it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Real solid move.....I wonder if the good seats still available mantra had an impact. Friday should sell out for no other reason than it is Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieZisk Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 For those of you who can't make make it trust me that you would be much angrier if you went, spent a bunch of money on concessions, still got soaked, and then find out that the game is still going to be postponed which is very likely what would have happened.

I guess so. I'll just stay in tomorrow anyway and watch baseball on TV. Last day of the Extra Innings preview on DirecTV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksnort Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Playing a 7-1 Mariners team...yikes. Makes me a bit nervous. Hopefully Lopez is on point unlike the other day when he said the weather got to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 They're not a bad team but also Ryon Healy and Domingo Santana are not going to end up top-20 hitters in baseball. I don't know what to think of Tim Beckham except that he's sure to regress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
