A four game set canceled by snow.

Amazing.

Worrisome.

How will these teams respond to the unexpected delay in their early seasons?

It seems that players generally cruise through spring training playing a low-intensity level of baseball, unless they are fighting for a roster spot of course. As soon as the regular season starts, players kick it up a gear and they are more apt to go "all out" in situations they may have held back on in the exhibition games.

We saw how high the intensity was during the three game home opener against the Atheletics, and now to wait five full days before taking the field vs the slugging Red Sox in beantown....

This will be the longest stretch of days the team will have off until the season is over, barring any more acts of God. Two days longer than the break for the 78th midsummer classic.

How will players from both Seattle and Cleveland handle this? It'll be interesting to keep tabs on the teams, see if they follow any kind of similar patterns from here on out.

46 degrees and clear in Boston tomorrow. Hardly baseball weather, but at least a game will get played.
