ESPN reporting doubleheader postponed?
Sportscenter just reported that both games for today have been postponed. The anchor said that one game will be made up tommorow (who knows which one) and one will be made up later in the season.
The Indians page still says Brian Slocum is pitching the nightcap tonight, so that hasn't been updated yet.

Re: ESPN reporting doubleheader postponed?
Of course, what are the chances of no postponements next week with 9 home games in 8 days.

Re: ESPN reporting doubleheader postponed?
Both games of a hastily scheduled day-night doubleheader at Jacobs Field have been snowed-out, the club announced Saturday morning. A traditional doubleheader will be played in its place Sunday, beginning at 1:05 p.m. ET. Gates will open at noon.
Fans holding tickets dated Sunday, April 8, will receive two games for the price of one. Those who have tickets from the April 6 and 7 games may exchange their tickets for any of the 81 remaining home games this season, beginning with the Sunday doubleheader.
Even if Sunday's doubleheader goes off as planned, the Indians and Mariners will still have to squeeze in another makeup game sometime this season. This is Seattle's only scheduled visit to Cleveland this year, so the teams will likely have to eat up an off day to get the game in.

Pitching matchups for Sunday's action have not yet been announced by either club.

Re: ESPN reporting doubleheader postponed?
When is the last time the Indians played a "traditional" DH at home?
A lot more fan friendly than making the opening day fans show up at 1pm today to use their tickets.
Now tickets for April 6 and 7 can be used for any remaining game, and people who brave coming out on Easter can freeze for 7 hours for the price of one game.

Re: ESPN reporting doubleheader postponed?
The players need a day to get their heads on straight after yeaterday's disappointment, in addition to the risk of more injuries.
This will be their first off day in Cleveland and give them a chance to get settled in town.
We'll see how aggressive the Indians are in cancelling Sunday if things don't improve.

We'll see how much support the league gives the Indians.

Re: ESPN reporting doubleheader postponed?
Depending how the postponements unfold this series and over the coming months, the Indians may be at the mercy of the player's union, specifically the Mariners' players, since some options could violate the player's labor agreement. Even the Indians might agree to play 1 make-up game in Seattle if the alternative were to play 3 games in 2 days after the final Sunday of the regular season.
Even if MLB agreed not to reschedule in Seattle on the hope that the games don't matter, the Indians could lose revenue for 1 or more games.

Re: ESPN reporting doubleheader postponed?
If they only play one, then everyone waits until September to see if the other one really needs to be replayed. It's the two missed games that are the major problem; a single game much less so.

Better than the past two days, but not exactly perfect weather.

Re: ESPN reporting doubleheader postponed?
I think the Indians had some kind of scenario some years ago where they played a home game at the visitor's park, and of course they got last bats then.
