The Phillies’ opener was scheduled for March 26th, so two weeks would push us back to April 9th, when they’re slated to start a four game road series in Cincinnati. We’ll see if they move the entire slate or simply just pick up with the schedule from that point. Baseball doesn’t have as much flex as other sports since the schedule is so crammed (unless they wanted to load us up with doubleheaders).
