With rain in the forecast for the nation’s capital through 1:00 AM tomorrow morning, the Washington Nationals took the proactive route this afternoon and postponed the first of four with the Arizona Diamondbacks in D.C.
The club also announced they were rescheduling the opener as part of a split doubleheader at 1:05 PM and 7:05 PM ET tomorrow in Nationals Park.
No matter what they do, someone is bound to complain, but where do you land when it comes to these things? Should the Nationals have waited to see if it will actually be still raining at 7:05 PM, the originally scheduled start time, or do you appreciate the decision they did make by postponing it early given the forecast so that people don’t spend their time and money getting to and at the park only to find out it’s postponed later?
