Note: Today’s Game will be Wet
According to more-or-less every weather report, today’s weather forecast calls for heavy rain and high winds at 4 p.m. today through Sunday morning.
Manuel, on the weather, as quoted by Newsday:
“I don’t trust the weather. Everybody says it’s going to rain and then the sun is shining. I’m telling you we’re playing tomorrow.”
I hope he’s right.
From what I can gather, if Saturday’s game is rained out, which seems highly probable, it will most likely be replayed on Sunday at 1 pm as part of a day-night doubleheader.
Here’s the other problem: today’s game is a FOX Game of the Week. So, if it is delayed for a super-long time, and the team decides to wait out the rain and play it later in the night, say, around 7 pm or later, and since SNY is not set up for broadcast, if FOX – who has the rights to the game – chooses not to return and air it, what happens? Will it be on television? If so, where? If not, ouch.
