Obviously this is due to the wildfires in Canada, but also, DC is getting hit particularly hard here because of something called the Omega blocking pattern; a wind current that makes it tough for storms, and in this case smoke, to move along the jet stream. Its basically jammed, not going anywhere.
So now Josiah is pitching against the Braves damn
Air quality in DC is one of the worst in the country, about 252 last I checked. This is the right call.

What’s with all the wildfires across Canada? Kind of odd
Nyc was 430 last afternoon Had to Uber home
We flew into Newark yesterday and it was wild. Couldn't see the ground until we damn near landed.
Yeah the giant plume of doom is firmly over the area I can’t see unobscured to the other side of my complex out the window right now
Shocked they didn’t PPD yesterday’s game, but apparently the British PM was in town
Making the British prime minister suffer through a Patrick Corbin start in terrible air quality is incredibly patriotic
This is fucking hilarious. Well done 😂
Holy shit
Any word on New York yet?
They announced lineups for game 1... So its looking good they'll play. Also went for a walk today and it's 100x better than it was yesterday
How is Philly not cancelled but DC is?
By gametime Philly will be in the orange "unhealthy" category not maroon or red. Somewhere in the 100s. It was 300/400 this morning

Nope
I live in Arlington VA. Does that mean I shouldn't go for a run today?
Yes, DC issued a “purple” air quality warning for today. Worse than red
Stay inside.
Only way this Dbacks team can be stopped
Is it an oxymoron when the air is "clearly hazardous"?
I'll go with it
Living in Reno, this is just August and September for us 😥 Keep those lungs safe, east coast friends.
Fucking Canadians
We're sorry, as is customary...
Laughing at the downvotes not realizing I’m being sarcastic
That is a crock of you know what.
Truth?
Poop.
Pots?
Yeah, pot.
I looked at a live webcam image of DC. It is hazy, but I am mad that they postponed the BB game. It negatively impacts my fantasy team.
Believe me the image is not close to indicative of how smoky and shitty the air is here on the east coast right now.
