Rain Threatens World Series Game 6; MLB To Decide Wednesday Afternoon

Stay connected for news and updates

Rain is headed to the St. Louis area Wednesday afternoon and evening and according to the National Weather Service forecast, there is an 80% chance of rain throughout the day.

That has prompted a meeting between Cardinals officials and MLB, according to St. Louis writer Tim McKernan, via Twitter:

Mo: At 1 o’clock, I’m going to have a meeting with Major League Baseball and determine whether or not to cancel the game early.

To translate a bit from the 140-character limitations of Twitter, “Mo” is Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak and “1 o’clock” is Central time, so for those of you on Eastern time, it’ll be at 2 p.m. ET.

MLB is a bit stung by its decision to postpone Game 2 of the ALCS in Texas because of a threat of rain that never materialized. However, they also likely don’t want to get into a situation where they’d have multiple rain delays and have to suspend Game 6.

There doesn’t seem to be a “best” decision either way, but if Game 6 is postponed, everything simply moves back a day, with Game 6 on Thursday and Game 7 (if necessary) on Friday in St. Louis; the forecast for those days, at the link above, is clear, but chilly; game-time temperatures would likely be in the 40s.
