Well, hat tip to the powers that be. With storms rolling into New York in a couple hours, MLB has decided to postpone tonight’s Yankees-Dodgers clash. In a move that surprised me, the game will be made up in a split-admission doubleheader tomorrow, sandwiched around the World Cup final at 3pm local time.
If you have tickets for today’s game, they are only eligible for tomorrow’s 12:35pm ET first pitch. That game will be played — the forecast for Sunday looks gorgeous — and then the Stadium will be cleared out to prepare for Sunday Night Baseball, at 7:20pm local time. Yankee manager Aaron Boone indicated shortly after the postponement that there’s a “good chance” the team stands pat with their pitching decisions, meaning its most likely Ryan Weathers starts the first game and we get that Cam Schlittler/Yoshinobu Yamamoto killer in primetime.
If you’re in New York, keep yourselves safe. Parts of Queens are already experiencing flooding and there’s a second round of storms coming. Keep an eye on official public notices, and follow the direction of city officials. If nothing else, all this rain should clear up some of the wildfire smoke issues the city has experienced this week.
See you tomorrow, Yankee fans.
