The Cardinals have been unable to stop the Mets all season, but the weather can, as today’s game in St. Louis has been postponed due to rain. A split doubleheader has been scheduled for tomorrow, with the first game set to start at 1:15 PM and the second game beginning at 6:15 PM Eastern Standard Time.
While the Mets would no doubt prefer to play today and keep the good times against the Cardinals rolling (and also thereby avoiding a late departure for Arizona after the game), the postponement does have some positive influence on the team’s roster machinations.
