I was looking forward to this Speedway game but it is absolutely pouring. It seems like there was no contingency plans in place for this reason. This was a thing for Network TV and it seemed like that trapped them from having flexibility.
MLB 2025: The A's are Playing Where Now?
- Thread starter 1001001
- Start date
I saw a brief sports report on my local news this morning.
So, there's no chance of this being played today because they have to get the track ready for racing, correct?
Edit to add.
It does look like they're going to try and play today.
I read an online story on Forbes Magazine's website that read in part that MLB chose a date for the game, which, traditionally, is considered the rainiest day of the year in Bristol, Tennessee and that they were given several days notice by weather reports to move the game up or postpone and MLB chose to ignore the warning.

There is no racing there this week. The game is being played at 1 PM (EDT).
Congratualations to Jen Pawol for being the first female umpire in MLB. Looking forward to her strike 3 call. Her first pitch was kind of missed call, but she's done pretty well since.
If she's not as blind as half the umps already in the bigs, it'll be an improvement.
They were commenting on the Braves broadcast that that inside pitch is something she calls a strike consistently. I did notice how consistent she was and I think for her first time she did a great job. Also, you are right. So many umps in this league are blind so it's already a low bar.
Consistency,even on something slightly inside or outside is a good thing. It's the wild inconsistency that aggrivates players and fans no end.
