As one of those that sat in the ballpark for 4 hours yesterday, what gets me is that it obviously didn't have to happen: the weather forecast was right so we saw that it would start to rain at 4 and end at 7—starting the game on time led to the postponement as the field became unplayable. WSH could have decided in the early afternoon that the game would begin at 7 and all would have been fine... or they could have called it as there were plenty of alternatives: 1) 2 games on Sunday; 2) 2 games Monday; 3) better yet, the Mets return in September for games on the 5th and 6th. Oddly, both teams are off on Labor Day and home the previous day so a game on Labor Day fits perfectly; 4) if not, both teams are off on the 7th (yes, 2 days off that week). The Mets are in MIN on the 8th so a day game on the 7th would have worked, too. Instead, WSH chose the worst option by starting on time.
