    They can postpone playoff games for rain but it's pretty rare (last one I can remember was 2017 between Nationals and Cubs but probably because I'm a massive Cubs fan). Easiest thing to do is get rid of travel day between games 4 & 5 but don't think they've ever had it where the rain was so bad for a week that they couldn't play. Reason they don't play in the rain is you've got a hard baseball traveling 100 MPH at another human being, even in the best circumstances you can lose grip of the ball, but add in water and it becomes even more tenuous. Hope that helped answer your question without having to google.

    Flaherty had an awful record 8-15, but he was still slightly above average and had 10.5 k/9 with an ok ERA ... plus he has the stuff to be great on any one night as he's shown before. Don't think this one is a walk in the park by any means, but then again no game in October should be taken for granted, everyone is good at this point.

    Mariners are on FS1 now, but it will move to FS2 once the Yankees vs Blue Jays game starts 5:05.

    Any game can get postponed, period.

    2-0 ms.

    Left runners on first and second with no out, but I'll take the runs.

    You got to manufacture runs a bit better but yes I’ll take the 2 they got.

    You’d think the Mariners game would be on a local channel.

    National TV has the exclusive rights to the MLB playoff games.
    Same with the NBA now. The new TV deal is all national TV for playoffs. No more 1st round games on the local affiliates like it was in the past.

    I used a free seven day trial for Fox Sports 1 through Amazon prime to watch game 2.

    Since the game was delayed and is playing on the MLB app I'm watching it on that tonight, which my wife gets free through T-Mobile. Since it's blacked out in our region I have my VPN set up to Mexico City or something. Been doing it this way all season. Kind of a pain in the ass, but it works. Much like Geno's batting stance worked tonight...

    Anytime I see that many fans leaving I always think what are they thinking.
