Maybe someday Cardinals will have a vet manager like Francona, Pat Murphy that have some humorous gems for us .

I noticed that the fans are not close to the field. Need binoculars to see the game
May rain awhile. Lots on radar

The event is a bust so far. Where are they going to play the make up game?

Like WWE Summer Slam at Met Life Stadium.
Imagine watching wrestlers in ring from high in upper deck.
You end up looking at a Jumbotron screen.

Another completley idiotic marketing stunt by MLB.
Utterly, laughably ridiculous.
Complete insult to the game.
MLB could not be more ignorant of its own product.

Suspended game - will they play there tomorrow?
Both teams weren’t scheduled
Lots of disappointed fans

Unfortunate for weather. Great concept and people responded ..sold over 85,000 tix.
Football can be played in rain.. not baseball.
Have watched several Indy 500 races where fans were disappointed.
Daytona 500 gets rain quite often.. Feb. In Florida

There are 2,400+ mlb games every season. Putting 5 to 10 games a year in new and different locations is smart.
I write this as an attendee of the 2019 Mexico Series with the Cards and Reds, which was outstanding.

The Mexico series was played at a genuine baseball park, not a racetrack. Next year maybe they can have some games played on a golf course.........

Agreed. The game itself is never good enough for Manfred.
