Who makes the call on if the Red Sox-Mets game gets delayed?
Mets interim manager Andy Green explained what he's heard about the Red Sox plane issues.
“I heard this morning that they didn't get out last night. And for whatever reason, they struggled again getting out this morning. So, yeah, I became aware of it early this morning. I was not awake at the point in time when they were still sitting on the runway last night.”
Green said he never had any experience with a flight snafu like Boston’s, “even with a lot of years in minor-league baseball and Triple-A.”
“I think I had some times where maybe we arrived at 2 o'clock for a 7 o'clock game, but we're well past 2 o'clock already, and they're airborne,” Green said. “Unfortunate set of circumstances.”
He also was asked if MLB is solely in control of the situation or if the home team has some input.
“I don't have the answer to that,” Green said. “I know David [Stearns] is involved in conversations right now, and we'll wait and see what happens. We're hanging in with the rest of you right now.”
