MINNEAPOLIS — Major League Baseball prefers to schedule an off day after an outdoor team's home opener. In case there's inclement weather, the game can be played later — and in front of what's expected to be a packed stadium.
And that is what is happening on Friday. Because Minnesota is being Minnesota, the Twins decided against playing in 35-degree weather on Thursday.
They can't control what happens on the field, though. And based on history here, that could mean anything.
