If the game is undoubtedly postponed, its possible theyll bump it to tomorrow, and then play a decisive game on Saturday, if necessary (there are no other video games arranged for this weekend). I do not think were gonna see a playoff doubleheader tomorrow.
The threat of inclement weather all day today, combined– I presume– with a preference not to have gamers and personnel sit around waiting together for six, eight, 10 hours or whatever, implies that todays Cubs-Marlins video game isnt going to occur today.
Im gobsmacked, but thats the report (see update listed below for confirmation and more details):.
As for what this implies for the Cubs, you simply hope Yu Darvishs routine isnt tossed off too severely (he d still be in line to take video game two of the NLDS if the Cubs get there, so no worries). A minimum of now, though, he wont pitch a couple of innings, sit down for a rain hold-up, and then perhaps not be able to come back in (or battle due to the fact that of it).
UPDATE: Its official. Wow. No game today. This one has been pushed to tomorrow at 1pm CT, and then Game Three, if necessary, is on Saturday with a time TBA, per Jesse Rogers. Keep in mind that if Cubs-Marlins is just game staying on the schedule tomorrow, itll instead be at 6pm CT. In any case, the video game will be on ABC.
Todays Cubs game has actually been canceled, @ 670TheScore has actually found out. Its 100% weather-related.

The Marlins get another day for Starling Marte to rest his fractured pinkie and try to play (he was going to be out today).
No game today. This one has actually been pushed to tomorrow at 1pm CT, and then Game Three, if essential, is on Saturday with a time TBA, per Jesse Rogers. Note that if Cubs-Marlins is only video game remaining on the schedule tomorrow, itll rather be at 6pm CT. Either way, the game will be on ABC.
The best I can figure, MLB was really quick to shoot on this due to the fact that there is a lot versatility constructed into the schedule between these Wild Card series and the NLDS. Its pretty simple to simply avoid the danger of intermittent rain delays today by pushing to tomorrow.
Well get more information soon, I expect, but everybody who is looking at the radar and projections is keeping in mind the same thing:.
