Chicagoland weather has been brutal so far. Hardly any teams have been able to get outside for practice, let alone all games being cancelled. Any fellow IL'ers chompin at the bit? I'm curious to see how this affects the first week or so of real games. Will it have an affect? Will defense perhaps be lackluster due to very few reps of real fly balls, groundballs on an infield? Pitching poor due to not being able to throw outside? Hitting?
Interested to hear any thoughts...or share if you've been lucky to practice/play outside yet!
