The police chief just held a press conference where he basically said, "Oops, our bad" (where they also released the body cam footage).
So yeah, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that area in a few hours either. Glad they're keeping the players safety in mind right now.

How is tomorrow going to be any different than today? Agree....its either safe to play or its not. One day isn't gonna make a difference either way.

How is tomorrow going to be any different than today? Might not be any different, but they'll have a night to see how the public reacts to the news that was just released. If they played today they would have just been hoping that everything doesn't blow up.

It’s Minneapolis. They kinda let people riot there for days at a time if they want. Tomorrow won’t be any better and could be worse if the protesters/rioters get a little momentum.

All i know is that if they are expecting turmoil today, trying to schedule a doubleheader tomorrow makes no sense at all. they expect the trouble to magically disappear?

Fly to Boston today and have the doubleheader tomorrow in Boston, and finish the series in Boston. Minnesota losses the home series as the fans that have already purchased Twins at Red Sox games for later in the year need to keep those tickets! I moved away from the Midwest 25 years ago, and Minnesota used to be nice. You could not pay me enough to live in Minneapolis now!!

It makes more sense than staying there to try to get the games played. they just have to switch the home games around.

It makes more sense than staying there to try to get the games played. they just have to switch the home games around. It makes the most sense, so of course they will NOT do it! Common sense is no longer common! Once missed a 4 games series would be nearly impossible to make up during the season especially when it is the only time they play in Minnesota.

No chance this series gets played. Minnesota is about to burn to the ground again. Pro Sports is insignificant right now. Cop should be incarcerated.

They already have it.. Were not shut down immediately 1st time several months ago, nor yesterday. given a license to act stupid and get away scot free. Now, if finally decide to get tough (which should have right away), media will have a blow up about how poor, innocent protesters are being mistreated. It's ridiculous. Simple motto.. Act stupid and get treated accordingly.

I hope they cancel the series soon just so this thread can stop immediately.

I'd guess the decision to play tomorrow is tentative. As many of you have pointed out, it could be just as volatile then. It's a holding pattern nothing more.

None of us are in the Twin-Cities at this point and we don't know how this will play out.

It's going to be colder with possible snow... How they have a brand new building and no roof has never made any sense. I never got that. It was like they assumed they’d never make the world series.

All i know is that if they are expecting turmoil today, trying to schedule a doubleheader tomorrow makes no sense at all. they expect the trouble to magically disappear? They have not yet revealed the nature of the arrest warrant they had for him (he died knowing neither why he was pulled over, or what oustanding charge he had), and if it turns out to be not serious, people will be twice as angry, and with good cause.
In most states arrest warrants can be issued for unpaid fines for traffic violations and the like.

Echoing what Norm said above, please stick to baseball. This is not a forum to discuss all the other stuff. Further conversation that doesn't relate to the game will be deleted. Thanks.

MLB has a statement on the postponement. They know as little as we do so let's keep the conjecture off the board.

What’s so hard about keeping this thread to baseball?? No one asked for anyone’s political opinion on this subject and no one cares. There are plenty of other places to give your opinion. How many moderators have to say this?
