Good question. Also, does this count as a "day off?" If not, the nats will have 23 consecutive games without a day off...another union issue.
Because of the rainout, the Nationals will finish the season with 24 days without an off-day. Monday does not count as a true off-day, as the players came, took batting practice and warmed up. They will have played 23 of the last 24 days, including a makeup game next Monday against the Reds.
Thanks, PC...so I wonder if the Union had to approve this make up date?
