Brewers gonna be so well rested. Idk if that's good or bad though with how locked in they were at the plate

[u/ScaredOfWindow → u/mason2393]

Yeah, the rest advantage does sound nice, but based on how relentless and inevitable they seemed in the NLCS, I bet they would’ve been totally fine with just going right into another series.

[u/ForensicPathology → u/mason2393]

World Series date hasn't changed.

[u/IvyGold]

Heh. Check out the highlights in the bot: they've got a solo HR from a Spanish-speaking league. Anybody know what it is?

[u/superbuenobros → u/IvyGold]

looks to be just a well hit baseball

[u/IvyGold → u/superbuenobros]

I was wondering what league it is. It's cute little bandbox of a park.

[u/Legitimate_Page659]

Game 4 of the 2026 ALCS between the Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Guardians has officially been postponed due to inclement weather at Progressive Field.

With rain pouring down in Cleveland on Friday night, MLB announced the game would be moved due to inclement weather. There will now be a Game 4 on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET, followed by Game 5 on Sunday at 5 p.m. ET.

[u/double_sal_gal]

So do you get free parking tomorrow if you paid for official parking today? I’m just curious.

[u/_PolyWasp_]

hear me out

[u/shrederick → u/_PolyWasp_]

Big Boss is way ahead of you

[u/_PolyWasp_ → u/shrederick]

Damn that was cool too bad he forgot to wipe that poop stain off his jersey

[u/meateatingmama]

Fuck the Rays. This was their decision.

[u/hellarios852]

‼️UPDATE. UPDATE. UPDATE. UPDATE.‼️

Postponed to tomorrow (Saturday 8pm EST)

[u/IvyGold → u/hellarios852]

Thank you. Dayum. Short travel day for them on Sunday if needed.

[u/Team-ster]

The Empire Strikes Back is on one channel down for me…

[u/Sock_Eating_Golden → u/Team-ster]

Addams Family Values on Paramount Network.

[u/CleSurfingNJ]

Anybody else still watching this lebron prank show? I'm hooked

[u/watupmack]

Good I didn’t even want to watch baseball on a Friday night I have so many friends and plans anyways

Sighhh

[u/Waterfish3333]

Are they still trying to play this game or is the field cooked? Watching the end of the truck race.

[u/SaddestClown → u/Waterfish3333]

Tomorrow

[u/Waterfish3333 → u/SaddestClown]

Thanks!

[u/Team-ster]

Think I’m gonna go game for a bit. Right now I’m playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. It’s fucking awesome!

[u/fisted___sister → u/Team-ster]

I have that on my to play list. I’m playing The Blood of Dawnwalker. Also fucking awesome

[u/Team-ster → u/fisted___sister]

Nice. I was debating playing that one. Looks too much like The Witcher. It’s that good huh?

[u/fisted___sister → u/Team-ster]

Mmm it does have some of the same mechanics but the narrative structure and overall gameplay is wayyyy different.

[u/ChampionshipHuman732]

What a joke

[u/Tronn3000]

So is this game canceled?

MLB.tv has switched to the "thank you for watching" screen from the "this game is in weather delay" screen

[u/SaddestClown → u/Tronn3000]

Yep

[u/beefytrout → u/Tronn3000]

postponed

[u/blade21st]

BOOOOOOOO TBS

PUT ON BIG BANG THEORY INSTEAD OF ANTHONY DAVIS PUNK'D

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

What game yall putting on instead?

I’m think about Purdue-Washington

[u/_PolyWasp_ → u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

Hockey night. Danny Devitos vs the Donner party

[u/fisted___sister → u/_PolyWasp_]

The Bob Segers vs The John Denvers for me

[u/GarrisonWhite2]

I now regret drinking a Monster. I have to work tomorrow morning.

[u/squibzter]

So because shitty Cleveland has no roof we all have to miss baseball?

[u/stann-the-mann → u/squibzter]

How many home games were moved because of your shitty roof?

[u/squibzter → u/stann-the-mann]

You mean when a hurricane ripped it off? Own, I guess?

[u/stann-the-mann → u/squibzter]

Wouldn't have been damaged if it was a regular outdoor stadium. Don't think the Bucs had to move, did they?

[u/TheBorneoFunction → u/squibzter]

Floridians cannot talk about shitty weather

[u/fireeight → u/squibzter]

I'm not sure that you have much room to talk about the quality of a stadium.

[u/squibzter → u/fireeight]

Wouldn’t be a rain delay right now that’s what I know

[u/Sock_Eating_Golden → u/squibzter]

Last year tho?

[u/squibzter → u/Sock_Eating_Golden]

Is this series being played last year or now?

[u/jjrozay]

Oh play in the pouring rain you dorks. 

[u/GarrisonWhite2 → u/jjrozay]

Did you see that field though?

[u/TraceThis]

Extra rest for the Brewers

[u/ForensicPathology → u/TraceThis]

That's not how it works.

[u/Wismom84 → u/TraceThis]

Huh

[u/ptbus0]

Wanted to watch the last game. Surprise! We did it while you were working.

Wanted to watch this game. Sorry but we're kinda going to start 9 hours before your shift.

[u/dakin116 → u/ptbus0]

Would love to know the ratings for game 3. Had no idea they moved it up until I turned on the tv that night…

[u/Sock_Eating_Golden → u/dakin116]

The streaming numbers had to be off the chart. I'm sure there a a measurable bump in network traffic at my office building.

[u/Sock_Eating_Golden → u/[deleted]]

Addams Family Values on Paramount Network.

[u/lennster10 → u/Sock_Eating_Golden]

Great movie

[u/SaddestClown → u/[deleted]]

Or this Anthony Davis prank show

[u/thefarsideinside → u/[deleted]]

College football my dude

[u/stealy_darn → u/[deleted]]

Huskies v Boilermakers on Fox

[u/The_Homestarmy]

The minute they said "50/50" I knew this game was not happening tonight

[u/LargePicture48]

Well, I guess I'll spend my Friday watching Bonnie blue videos instead

[u/SaddestClown → u/LargePicture48]

That takes like five minutes. What about the rest of the night?

[u/GarrisonWhite2 → u/LargePicture48]

https://giphy.com/gifs/ENsLZ0fDS2A12

[u/MrShakey7]

They wanted to get some concession and souvenier money!!

[u/GarrisonWhite2 → u/MrShakey7]

They also really wanted the game to happen lol.

[u/Jkabaseball → u/MrShakey7]

Parking garages love it too

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

[u/Jensen2075]

Why did White Sox have to choke.

[u/Spider-Sword → u/Jensen2075]

We locked in. They didn’t choke, guards remember they have been the central daddy for 10 years

[u/a-smooth-brain]

Manfred is such a dork

[u/SamSan6852]

3 consecutive Fridays in October without baseball?

[u/GarrisonWhite2]

I have no idea what to do now lol.

[u/blade21st → u/GarrisonWhite2]

rewatch dodgers losing game 4?

[u/GarrisonWhite2 → u/blade21st]

I actually didn’t even see it, I worked last night lol.

[u/ChampionshipHuman732]

[u/Snowed_Up6512]

MORANS

[u/OliveWorthington → u/Snowed_Up6512]

Oh the irony…

[u/Hamsters_In_Butts]

why is pedro acting like playing in the rain is so dangerous?

[u/Ok_Dentist_9133 → u/Hamsters_In_Butts]

Acting?

[u/Spider-Sword → u/Hamsters_In_Butts]

It’s the injury risk

[u/Hamsters_In_Butts → u/Spider-Sword]

fair point that was a stupid knee jerk take by me

[u/ketamour]

Cue in Cleveland (or any Midwestern fan) saying how their stadium doesn't need a roof 

[u/Accurate-Remote9404 → u/ketamour]

The fuck are you saying Midwestern for?

[u/Nightcinder → u/ketamour]

why would we put a roof on for a rare occurence?

[u/Sock_Eating_Golden → u/ketamour]

Still doesn't.

[u/Hamsters_In_Butts → u/ketamour]

turns out there's another day after tomorrow and they'll just play then

[u/Yesalmsot]

At least we got to see Pedro's sweet ass jacket

[u/Grade-AMasterpiece]

Well, that frees up my Friday night.

[u/stann-the-mann]

Looks like they called it right when it stopped raining.

[u/chalupa_lover → u/stann-the-mann]

Still raining

[u/william_fontaine]

No matter what happens, we can blame the weather.

[u/PapiGoneGamer]

Guess I’m off to be a sicko in the App State/C. Carolina thread.

[u/Stang1776]

Now what am I supposed to do with my friday night?

[u/TheSalmon25 → u/Stang1776]

Watch Wizards-Pelicans

[u/Guilty_Pineapple_557 → u/Stang1776]

Whatever you wanna do now. Can be either watching college football or binging a show or playing video games, or something lol

[u/weirdsignal45]

Since it doesn’t make a difference, they should package tomorrow as game 5 and Sunday as game 4

[u/Th3Unkn0wnn]

WE DIDNT LOSE!!!

[u/meateatingmama → u/Th3Unkn0wnn]

Wow.

[u/SaddestClown]

Hopefully the fans there at the park know how to do credit card chargebacks

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live → u/SaddestClown]

you think the average ohio sports fan has financial literacy?

[u/ftwin]

It’s not that serious to just play it tomorrow. Us east coasters thank you.

[u/puppiiiiiii → u/ftwin]

It really hurts our momentum i think :(

[u/CheeksClenchin]

Rip

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

how this game will be played

[u/Ricos_Roughnecks]

What a joke. Imagine spending money on beer, food, and parking and they announce it now. What a fumble by the MLB

[u/CleSurfingNJ → u/Ricos_Roughnecks]

for me it was $70 to park near the stadium yesterday. at least I got to witness a great game. I'd be pissed if I was just sitting the rain

[u/kylec00per → u/Ricos_Roughnecks]

Fumble? They just doubled their profits

[u/william_fontaine → u/Ricos_Roughnecks]

2 days in a row, what will they think of next?

[u/J_Powell_Ate_My_Ass]

Winner will be nice and worn down before the WS

[u/Either_Imagination_9]

So anyway, what are you guys gonna do tonight?

[u/Smartfood_Fo_Lyfe → u/Either_Imagination_9]

I'm in my forties now and therefore going to bed at 10pm sharp.

[u/PhantomPainWalker → u/Either_Imagination_9]

MGSV: The Phantom Pain.

[u/Guilty_Pineapple_557 → u/Either_Imagination_9]

I'll probably be either watching college football or Star Wars

[u/Guilty_Pineapple_557]

Just a friendly reminder for Game 4

[u/Gusanito99]

Oh well. I'll see y'all in r/cfb 🫡

[u/vektorog]

between this & the 1pm game yesterday, ive never been more happy to be out of work hurt

[u/The247Kid → u/vektorog]

I got the whole summer off while getting paid because client work was so slow and it was absolutely glorious. Felt like 2003 again.

[u/HelloMyNameIsMatthew]

confirmed it has been postponed to Sunday. so 4 straight games from Saturday to Tuesday

[u/The247Kid → u/HelloMyNameIsMatthew]

confirmed it has been postponed to Sunday. so 4 2 straight games from Saturday to Tuesday

[u/Business-Dog1487 → u/HelloMyNameIsMatthew]

Nah, 2 more Saturday and Sunday 

[u/soda_cookie]

The current weather system is taking forever to move off, and it looks like there's a another much smaller system coming in from the north that might hit not long thereafter. They should probably just call this shit

[u/orltragic → u/soda_cookie]

They did just call this shit.

[u/soda_cookie → u/orltragic]

Well, I'm glad they listened LOL

[u/SaddestClown]

MLB just fucked Tampa Bay. Now Cleveland gets a day of pitcher rest

[u/PhantomPainWalker → u/SaddestClown]

Not like our bats were doing much.

[u/Either_Imagination_9 → u/SaddestClown]

So does Tampa Bay

[u/SaddestClown → u/Either_Imagination_9]

They didn't need it

[u/Stangstag]

Jesus Christ MLB

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

Can we keep the game thread up for the memes

[u/GarrisonWhite2 → u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

https://giphy.com/gifs/hoFhnzcrUoQvY0M3rJ

[u/_JuicyPop]

So the team that comes out of this series is either going to be firey hot and smoke the Brewers, or so exahusted that they get blown out? Seems good.

[u/Nightcinder → u/_JuicyPop]

the only change is sundays travel day is gone

[u/GarrisonWhite2 → u/_JuicyPop]

Same amount of potential days off before Friday, I don’t think it makes a huge difference.

[u/_JuicyPop → u/GarrisonWhite2]

Ehh, more just me reflecting on what the outcome of the WS will be in headlines.

[u/Kevpatel18]

Can’t be us

[u/horseydeucey]

PPD means pee pee dick in my book!

[u/Paddy_Panic__]

I was about to leave work too. Was getting ready for some late night playoff baseball. Smfh.

[u/Kevpatel18 → u/Paddy_Panic__]

Working late on a Friday

[u/william_fontaine → u/Kevpatel18]

Might as well get some more work done, so I have to work less tomorrow

[u/ShotAttempt4]

There’s still hockey tonight at least

[u/Old_General_6741 → u/ShotAttempt4]

Only two games. Which does suck.

[u/ShotAttempt4 → u/Old_General_6741]

True. Thankfully one of them is my team, or else I’d be bummed

[u/mateohatepotato]

Tbh they should only have 1-2 off days in a 7 game series anyway.

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

As a baseball sicko i think 1am baseball is cool

[u/william_fontaine → u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

Me and my dad stayed through a mid-game rain delay once and were the only people in a whole section. Moved up to awesome seats and watched a win at almost 2 AM.

[u/boys-call-me-jackie2]

Are they still selling beers there?

[u/ShotAttempt4 → u/boys-call-me-jackie2]

Of course

[u/weirdsignal45]

Wait tomorrow or Sunday? I feel like they just said both

[u/roythhh_lewithhh → u/weirdsignal45]

I mean aren't they just getting rid of the travel day, basically? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

So, both tomorrow and Sunday.

[u/blade21st]

oh, shit

four days in October Part 2?

[u/PhantomPainWalker]

Goddam it, Cleveland, the city. Suck less.

[u/justintrenell]

Welp, GGs, see you later

[u/DayTripper_BigTeaser]

If this game ever starts, it's gonna go 15 innings.

[u/JayLove_0513]

This is working out great for the Brewers.

[u/grapefruit_43]

no baseball tonight :((

[u/orltragic]

Its genuinely sickening that they opened the gates 3.5 hours ago and just raked in insane amounts of revenue from food/drink/merch and then just sent the fans packing. So scummy.

Edit: Not saying this is a Guardians specific thing btw, it happens all the time. When its obvious conditions aren't going to allow a game to be played, what must be done eventually should be done immediately.

[u/darkmetal505isright → u/orltragic]

My friend, I don’t think you understand the relationship native Clevelanders have with drinking beers and hammering glizz in the cold rain. They’ll be back tomorrow for more.

[u/ThatLaloBoy]

Bruh I wanted ALCS After Dark

[u/knivesout0]

Get a roof, LOOSERS

[u/puppiiiiiii → u/knivesout0]

Real baseball is outside

[u/pdieten → u/puppiiiiiii]

Brewers fans had this same attitude back in County Stadium days but you’re not going to find too many anymore who’d go back. Knowing the game will be played and start on time is something that’s real easy to get used to

[u/puppiiiiiii → u/pdieten]

I played baseball for many many years I don’t wanna sit inside a dome and watch sports, I wanna go outside and feel the environment

[u/Hiciao → u/puppiiiiiii]

Move the season to October through March and I'm in.

[u/Majestic_Dildocorn → u/puppiiiiiii]

real baseball gets played

[u/puppiiiiiii → u/Majestic_Dildocorn]

*morans

[u/IllIIllIllIllII → u/JLove4MVP]

No you

[u/Ok_Storm549 → u/JLove4MVP]

We should build a whole new ballpark just for a roof?

[u/JLove4MVP → u/Ok_Storm549]

It’s a joke… relax

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

After careful consideration

I have ordered JJ Fish & Chicken (there was a 2 for 1 deal)

[u/LectureOk754]

Postponed!

[u/CynfullyDelicious]

Just announced: game tonight is postponed until Sunday.

[u/pimfram]

And we'll see you tomorrow night.

[u/handsy_pilot → u/pimfram]

Nailed it

[u/Majestic_Dildocorn]

ah fuck, there it is.

[u/_JuicyPop]

Postponed... booo

[u/SaddestClown]

I just made a sandwich. This sucks

[u/Noble_Flatulence → u/SaddestClown]

Looks like sandwiches are postponed until tomorrow. Sorry.

[u/SaddestClown → u/Noble_Flatulence]

Already threw it outside in the rain

[u/spiderwinder23]

We want the ALCS after dark!

[u/evancomposer]

Man that sucks

Booooooo

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

Congrats to Tokyo on their upcoming Primetime game of Rays @ Guardians

[u/Baseball_is_the_best]

Welp, should have made that decision earlier. Sucks to lose the off day

[u/mateohatepotato]

BOOOoOO
