AdamHLG Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Friday through Sunday forecasts, thoughts and observations. Looks like increasing odds of a postponement of Game 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Euro has about .20+/- falling between 7pm and 1am. High res nam looks bad for rates during the period. Looks like 2 waves of precip. One during the afternoon and one during the game period. Nam is wet and euro is dryer. Euro has .3-.4 total during friday afternoon and night. The only saving grace for a chance with the game going is that the band is pretty narrow. Relatively short distances are wet and dry. I personally feel the game is more than likely going to be postponed because of the off and on nature of the precip. If the field gets a good batch of showers during the afternoon and it's raining again at game time then I can't see it being played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 12Z NAM has about a tenth of an inch falling in the Baltimore area for the 3 hour period leading up to 11pm Friday. Heaviest of the precip comes during the overnight hours into Saturday morning. That said, it looks like we're in and out of showers from midday on. Probably hard to get the game in with that. Saturday should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Sat looks fine...tomorrow night could be an issue...I might go Saturday if the weather is borderline enough that ticket prices drop... I don't know if there are MLB rules governing this, but no need for an off day ..it is a 2 hr 15 min flight from BWI to MCI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if there are MLB rules governing this, but no need for an off day ..it is a 2 hr 15 min flight from BWI to MCI Yeah, they'd lose the off-day apparently in the event of a postponement. Probably a big part of it is MLB doesn't want to compete with the ratings juggernaut (wish this was tongue-in-cheek) that is the thrilling week 6 matchup of the the Slurs vs. the Cardinals. leaves are crunchy Wrong thread!!!!!!11!!

MN Transplant Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Pretty good model agreement for Fri/Sat. NAM/Euro have the front lifting back north on Sunday with more precip, but the GFS keeps us dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 lemme know if you do.. i may be down. never been there. If I can recover from the nats loss, I am considering it..such a cool stadium and I'd love to attend an ALCS game...we could take amtrak if we don't feel like driving and the 4:07 game time is attractive...will have to see if prices drop right now, $150-ish for low down upper deck seats..

AdamHLG Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Phew. Trying hard to fit in. I even asked permission in another thread before I started the thread! Sorry to be off topic. A cousin for a very close friend of mine works for MLB and they just flew him to Baltimore as head of MLB logistics for a possible rain event schedule change. I am told through my friend that he said MLB will push the outer limits to get this game in Friday no matter what it takes to avoid a Sunday game that competes with NFL for ad revenue reasons. Just passing that along. AFDLWX discussion points an ugly pic for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Translation: Unless it is -30F with sustained hurricane force winds and a tsunami warning for the Inner Harbor, they won't cancel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Playing in the rain probably favors the Orioles. Wouldn't be surprised if the Orioles have been watering the infield all week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Unless it's a heavy rain the ground crew can keep up with it. The new stadiums can take a ton of rain. It's the mound primarily that causes issues. I do think they would wait a long time if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 If I can recover from the nats loss, I am considering it..such a cool stadium and I'd love to attend an ALCS game...we could take amtrak if we don't feel like driving and the 4:07 game time is attractive...will have to see if prices drop right now, $150-ish for low down upper deck seats.. If you can get standing room only seats and get there extra early (gates open two hours before game time), then you could sit in the center field bleacher bar. Those are first come, first served, and not any different than the view from the bleacher seats. Of course, if you get up for a bathroom break or food, you'd lose them.Just a guess, but my money is on a postponement to Sunday at 4'ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamHLG Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Also just a guess, but tickets are being thrown up on ticket sites faster than [insert here] because people won't deal with cold and rain. If you want to get to an ALCS game, tomorrow when the rain drops fall so will the online prices on stubhub etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
