2018 Weather Performance thread

[Brooklyn Yankee Fan]

Either way, I am happy to be sitting home today. It is really cold and raw outside.

Yeah, I just stepped out for lunch and it's gross out.

Stadium is bound to be empty today/tn.

I think they will wait as long as possible to get today's game in. Maybe as late as a 7:00 pm start. People bought tickets wanting to see "Opening Day."

But what do you think they will do ticket-wise if they cannot play today, since there is a regular game scheduled for tomorrow?

I know this has happened with other teams. Those teams made the Opening Day tickets good for (in this case) the Wednesday game and re-scheduled the Wednesday game.

Either way, I am happy to be sitting home today. It is really cold and raw outside.

Given that the forecast tomorrow is not encouraging, do they make Thursday's game against the Orioles opening day if tomorrow is also washed out?

At least Thursday's forecast is for no rain - it is the only day this home stand that does not have rain forecast.

Tomorrow not so bad. They will defiantly get that game in.

Come rain snow or hail. Weather be darned.

Gotta love the 10 minute delay.

Well, are we playing today, well? well? well? well?

Don't look at me, I haven't played a game in years.

No opening day ceremonies I imagine. That kills the fun of the home opener. Oh well.

The 41, and me.

Just heard Kay on YES refer to yesterday as "Snow-pening Day," or as I heard it, "Snopening Day."

It reminded me that "snopen" is Swedish for "disappointed."

[-tz]

And the weather inspired Kay to a pretty good zinger (I thought):

"The grounds crew are sprinkling drying agent on the mound. Like most agents, it soaks up about 10%."

The 40 and you and I.

Of course! Did you stay to the end? I admit I left at the pitching change in the bottom of the eighth.

Better than I. I left after the end of 7th.

Actually it should be more crowded than yesterday.

I rarely leave a game early. Saw the entire game.

should have put that roof on

I was in da building yesterday. Attendance announced as 40,000 but clearly a number of fans came dressed as blue seats. Maybe 30,000 max in attendance.

I left a game early only once. 2005 the Yanks were losing to KC and when the Yanks brought in Embree to pitch I figured Torre was throwing in the towel. Yanks scored five in the 9th to win it and I heard about it when people started celebrating on the train halfway back to New Haven. I have never left early again.

[ZIM 2002]

LOL - same idea. My one early departure was the game finally won in the rain by a Giambi grand slam in the 14th inning!

[StanTheMan]

I was there too on Tuesday....went into the Team Store at the top of the 8th to unthaw and left top of 9. agree with all previous comments already posted...mlb needs to do a better job of the scheduling if they intend to start this early

[-tz]

It's raining in Detroit, and probably will all day today and tomorrow.

Yankees-Tigers has been postponed today. Reporters in Detroit say the teams will try to play a split DH tomorrow at 1:10 PM and 7:10 PM. Our coverage on YES will start at noon.
