MLB Playoff Dates - Potential Stadium Conflicts

Yankees have the worst record out of all the remaining playoff teams, so even if they make the World Series, their home games would be Oct. 27-29, giving plenty of time to convert in time for Nov. 1 as long as we hold onto the 2-seed.

So now the tinfoil hat says that Garber sees that the Yankees are doing well so we need to be the 2nd seed to avoid any other scheduling conflict.

New England gets red card within the first 30 minutes.

the ref can use the new field laid out as an excuse for any tackle done by them
 
So basically there is no conflict unless NYCFC is the 3 seed and has to host the knockout game 25th/26th and Yankees are in the WS.

Both of those are not far-fetched scenarios.

If that happens...warm up the buses to Hartford. Oh boy.
 
I read somewhere that it was the preferred spot if we had to move. Would be subject to availability, of course.

I see that they have some ridiculous event scheduled for Nov 3-5 where they are setting up a 9 hole golf course on the grounds. Not sure what the turnaround time between that and soccer would be, but it can't be good.

Or we can just "give up" our hosting duties and play RBNJ in RBA!

Nah. Fuck that. Three games to a sweep. And the Astros are a better team.
So? I’ll take my sports wins where I find them.

Don’t resent the Yankees for letting us be a tenant and needing the space for special events. That’s just silly.

The club to be angry at is NYCFC, not NYY.

They have five days to prep the field for the World Series Game 3 (first home Yankee game) after our 10/22 match. That's two more than it takes convert the field. The club to be angry at is NYY.

Do you really need to have it explained how they can do what they want with their stadium?

Come on. We shouldn’t still be in this situation without a defined escape route. That ain’t on the Yankees. They need to do what is required of them/best for them for their league title.

Asking anything else from any other team is disingenuous.

I don't think having a soccer game five days before the World Series will affect Giradi's bullpen decisions or Aaron Judge only having 2 hits this postseason.

It can easily affect the field conditions... we already know the field conversions do so during the regular seasons. Can you really blame the Yankees for making sure the field is 100% for their championship? Cmon.

Houston up two games to none versus the Yankees. Game 3 on Monday back at Yankee Stadium. I see an early exit for the pinstripes and no reason to have had to move our home game.

I truly believe all our playoff games will be at Yankee Stadium.

Game 3, 8 PM
Game 4, 5 PM
Game 5, 5 PM

Those start times in New York for Games 3 and 4 are jokes. Honestly, have our 10/22 game at Yankee Stadium. Yankees are not winning 2 of out 3 against the Astros.

The drop from the Astros top 2 pitchers to 3 and 4 is substantial. Anything, including a sweep is possible, but nobody should be surprised if the Yankees win 2 of the next 3.
