Now, do the Yankees go with Cortes? Seems like Bieber is a no still but can he go 1-2 innings? Has to be tempting?

I think the weather surprised MLB. Thin band of rain just happened to stay over NY during all of primetime.

It was not a huge storm, just a line that went straight over the Bronx for a few hours longer than people expected. It ended up finally clearing out around 11, but MLB thought that starting it after 10 was too late. They should have given more updates but they were right to try to play it tonight, that's what everyone wanted and it did seem possible for a while.

I don’t understand the question, one guy at his peak or someone’s whole career? Either way Gibson/Pedro but you could not touch Mike Scott or Hershiser in their magical seasons.

To this point, it’s just been drizzling all night 50 miles away from the Stadium.

NY/CLE winner plays game 1 in HOU with no off day and the ALCS itself ridiculously only has one off day, between games 2 and 3, so potentially 8 games in 9 days for the winner tomorrow (more realistically 5 or 6 games tops as HOU coasts into the WS).

Yeah- I am assuming it’s based on a pitchers performance in the post-season, assuming that’s somehow predictive?

Schilling and Madison Bumgarner seem like glaring omissions.

And as much as I love Pedro, he had a career 3.46 era in the postseason.

Above 70% means a real chance they could get the game in, which I think MLB and the two teams would have preferred. I doubt they were in the dark with this. And if you are paying the ushers and security and concession people anyway, you might as well let the fans in to buy stuff.

Maybe the fans could have trusted the forecast and not shown up?

Seems like he gets a lot of credit for what might have been one great game (1991 WS Game 7). He was good otherwise in the post-season, but he certainly had some duds. His performance the year after that great game, in the post-season with the Jays, was mediocre at best (4 starts, 23 innings, 7.43 ERA, 6.57 FIP).

The delay greatly benefits the NYY, no? No Bieber for Cleveland and Cortes for NY, plus more rest for NY relievers= NYY win, I fear.

honestly, on paper sure but I think the team would have preferred a full stadium night game. That’s twice the team was robbed this series of prime time yankee stadium.

Smaller sample size, but Bruce Hurst was superb in the postseason:

- 7 games, 3 complete games
- never allowed more than 3 runs in a game
- 51.0 ip, 46 h, 14 r, 13 er, 12 bb, 37 k, 2.29 era, 1.14 whip, 6.5 k/9

Dave Stewart was also a postseason stud:

- 22 games, 10-5 record, 3 complete games
- 133.0 ip, 99 h, 45 r, 42 er, 48 bb, 73 k, 2.84 era, 1.11 whip, 4.9 k/9
- won three World Series

Ugh, I hate Dave Stewart. It’s funny though to look back at his stats and see a K rate under 5. It was much higher in my memory!

Boy, Stewart was in the right place at the right time for those three WS titles. LA, Oakland and Toronto. I'd completely forgotten about LA and Toronto. I know that it was very frustrating for Boston fans that he had Clemens' number in the post. For the inverse, Gaylord Perry, Ferguson Jenkins, Juan Marichal, Robin Roberts and Early Wynn are some HOF pitchers that never won one.
