They moved it to a DH Sat due to exactly that; threat of rain. I know, I know, I don't get it either; I live in PacNW. Rain outs be damned!

[JimR]

Could it be because it is they want to be certain to play 3? Just a thought.

Of course, but let's be honest, games in Texas are called due to rain faster than they are up here.

Plus Columbia will need to travel back home to NY, and if there is a delay due to weather, the chance of them having to delay travel a day is highly likely.
