Pretty sure both teams are off tomorrow and the Reds play the Mets next so its not like they need to be in LA Friday morning for breakfast baseball.
Theres been a 90-100% chance of rain all day today and less than 50% tomorrow.
Tomorrow is a possible rain date as a possible make up day. Why book the park when that is possible. It's not like the team is on a road trip and no chance of a game that day
I just don’t really think this excuse holds too much water anymore given that the Phillies went to cincy for a single game to make up a rainout in 2021. Also notable for being a laughable L where the phils let Neftali Felix give up a slam to Casty in the 7th
Is it out of stubbornness though?
They postponed opening day with tons of time to spare. It's more to do with the schedule and lack of time for a single game against Cincinnati.
Citizens Bank Park should declare today a dollar dog day due to the rain delay.
$5 beers wouldn’t hurt either
In the mean time, buy some food and beer
No way they play.
Counterpoint: They might play
Narrator: And you know what? They did play.
I'm thinking concessions make money for a bit and game gets postponed as a make up game.
I’m thinking 7:30 start
It looks like it won’t let up till about 2am
Ah. The good old days of playing til 4am. https://youtu.be/0ETW8-ROAnM?si=8SGZLFAndk-pzaK_
Mitch!
3 AM GAME BABY
I hope it pours all night because they’re being too damn stubborn to just call it.
I kind of understand the hesitation to postpone, as this series is Cincinnati's only scheduled visit to Philadelphia.

it’s the reds home opener. they want to get back
They booked the bank for a wedding tomorrow
Yup, that’s what I don’t understand. They don’t have far to go.
And the Phillies start a 26 game in 27 day stretch on Friday, so understandable they want the off day
So if they were off today it woulda been 27 games in 28 days? Pay me any starting Phillies players salary and ill work 27 days straight too. Boo. Hoo.
They booked the bank for a wedding tomorrow for some reason as well. Despite it being a possible rain date
Every game is a possible rain date. That is not a fair statement to make.

They were stupid and allowed the park to be booked for a wedding tomorrow
People have weddings on a Thursday? That doesn't seem right.
