The Story in Brief
The Yankees' home game against the Atlanta Braves in the Bronx was delayed on Friday due to severe thunderstorms, the team announced on X. The contest was scheduled to begin at 7:05 pm ET but will not start on time; no revised first-pitch time has been given.
Weather.com reported a 93% chance of thunderstorms at 7 pm, easing to 15% by 9 pm. The Philadelphia Phillies' game against the Toronto Blue Jays was also delayed. Max Fried, the Yankees' left-hander, is set to face his former team for the first time. The Hindustan Times reports the game could be postponed if conditions do not improve.
The Indian Opinion
American baseball fans tend to treat weather delays as a crisis, but Indian viewers know that thunderstorms pass and games resume. The real test is not whether the delay happens but whether the game gets postponed entirely (PPD). Watch the 9 pm forecast: if the storm clears by then, the match will likely start. Will the league reschedule if it doesn't? That will reveal how flexible MLB really is with its packed calendar.
