Another day, another rainout. For the second day in a row, and 22 since the season started on March 31, a game was postponed due to weather. The impact may not ultimately be the key driver in an attendance decline, but consider this: many, if not most, of the games are made up later in the season as part of double-headers. With teams running on fumes at that stage, adding in the extra games will tax rotations.

Enough of the rain news, here’s what is good to see. The Giants, hosting a late afternoon start had another game nearly at capacity. Now, if only Cleveland, baseball’s best story, could get fans back out to the ballpark after all those incredible early years at the Jake.

Here’s the breakout for Thurs, May 12.
