SAD EMOTIONS:as head coach of the Philadelphia Phillies cry in tears as he terminated his contract, pledging a farewell to the team and fans..
With the 2024 season about to kick off and an Opening Day matchup against the rival Atlanta Braves that features a matchup of two of the best pitchers in all of Major League Baseball—Zack Wheeler and Spencer Strider—very little can make Philadelphia Phillies fans sad.
Opening Day festivities may have to wait a little bit longer for Phillies fans, as bad weather is predicted to arrive in Philadelphia on Thursday. But for what length of time?
The current prediction for Thursday’s game is not good. According to recent reports on game day conditions, there is a 70% probability of rain on Thursday morning and long into the game’s start time of 3:05 p.m. ET. The likelihood of rain in the early evening is now expected to be 24%, with a dip in temperature to 38 degrees outside if MLB and the Phillies decide to postpone the start of the game.
Opening Day is predicted to be cold and windy, which will probably make for difficult playing conditions all game long. Depending on
the appearance of weather models Rain is expected later on Wednesday, which might force the Phillies to postpone their game on Thursday. Not the outcome that Phillies supporters and players had hoped for. Boys, welcome back from Florida.
What happens if the Phillies’ home opener is canceled due to bad weather?
Baseball games in the Northeast in March and April are always a crapshoot, as Phillies fans are well aware. You may be facing mild days that are typical for the season or the final fierce blow of winter. For the first few weeks of the season, baseball schedule creators adjust for this by leaving a few holes in the calendar to accommodate for the likelihood of Opening Day rainouts.
