Why didn't they make Monday the off day instead of Friday?
Twins Mariners game Delayed
Re: Twins Mariners game Delayed
Glad to see they took advantage of it then.
Only thing more annoying than opening day getting pushed back is a day off after opening day.
A rain out of the first series would be annoying too. Hope it clears up.
So dumb they don't have a roof.
Sounds like they're like Seattle people who say it doesn't rain much.
Re: Twins Mariners game Delayed
It actually rains probably five times as much in Boston in the summer than it does in Seattle.

Doubleheaders usually means a loss of revenue. ML Baseball is big money, so I'd wonder about the tradeoff of having a retractable roof. The M's have the all-star game in 2023, so the retractable roof comes in handy.
I'm hoping Toro can spell Suarez a couple starts at 3B per week.

I just read in Divish's roster article that Torrens is still a liability behind the plate and hasn't improved at all defensively

I guess it isn't that bad since Friday was open, however it looks like rain is likely for Monday.

Balmy 43* on Friday.
They should not be allowed to host a game until May.

I really don't understand why MLB doesn't mandate that any new stadium that is built has to have a retractable roof. The technology is there for a variety of options for the roofs. It makes no sense to lose out on a game due to weather anymore unless it's not safe for fans/players/workers to come to the park.

They could use US Bank Stadium (Vikings) early in the season. College games are played there. It's a bit cavernous for baseball, and it looks like SkyDome carpet for turf, but at least it's indoors.Seattle or Bust wrote: ↑Wed Apr 06, 2022 4:23 pmBalmy 43* on Friday.

Re: Twins Mariners game Delayed
The Twins have put together a pretty decent team. We'll see how the M's handle the Twins to start off the season.
