Smoky day game rescheduling?

Recommended Posts

As of the moment I'm typing this (1545 EDT), the air quality index in the area of OPACY is at 215, which is pretty freaking bad.  It's being caused by the continuing wildfire smoke drifting down out of Canada.

I haven't seen anything anywhere regarding potentially rescheduling tonight's game, but I'd like to hope it'd be in the realm of possibly.  No one really should be exposing themselves for long periods of time.. but particularly not fans who have underlying respiratory conditions.

Just wanted to post something here to give a heads up in case anyone had plans to go to the game tonight and they don't reschedule it.  Wasn't sure if some might not have been following the situation, and aren't aware of how bad it is at the moment.  Thanks.

Whoops, disregard.  There's no game tonight. 

I've been thinking it's Friday all day.  This is just another reminder that it's not. 

Still, it is pretty bad out there, do be careful if you have to spend any extended time outside.

Hey, don't back off too far.   This could apply to tomorrow night's game.  I don't see any rain in the forecast between now and then.

This is going to be an ongoing issue until at least Fall according to what I heard today.

The good news is I think some of these fires have been contained in the last 24 hours, and the smoke will become more manageable. If they explode again due to arson or some natural cause. I dont know. Canada says this fire season is 10 times worse than a normal year.

Imagine that

So how does today compare to Baltimore area June 4-8?   I was out of town that week so today was really the first time I have encountered this.  By the time I got back on Friday the 9th, it had subsided.

I know the Nats postponed a game because of it while I was out in Las Vegas.   Phillies too?

It's 211 AQI in Baltimore right now.

    • Yes and at one point was a higher rated prospect in their system than Aaron Judge. It took awhile with the bat but he was always an amazing athlete with the ability for defensive wizardry. 
    • Does anybody know that he is an ex Yankee?
    • I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce
    • A buddy of mine made this with his AI. I figured I’d just put this here. 😂   https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce
    • I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.
    • A good friend of mine coaches college baseball.  He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way.  An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail.  New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.  
    • I'm still trying to figure out how this guy is out of the majors for 7 years and somehow manages to pick up 2 MPH on his fastball, at the age of 34.  But hey, I'm not complaining.   Statcast loves him so far this year.  Statcast thought he was a little unlucky in his last stint in the majors, and unsurprisingly they think he's getting a little lucky now, but even accounting for his good luck he's still in great pitcher territory.
