Baseball is meant to be a warm weather sport played in dry conditions.

I disagree.
I think baseball should be played under a range of natural outdoor conditions, centered around--but not limited to--perfect summer days.
When the wind is gusty, or the ground is soggy, the parameters of the game change a little, just as they do when the outfield fence is close on one side, or the grass is particularly long. Baseball under different parameters tests slightly different skill sets. It may not always be fun for the players, but as a fan, this is interesting to watch.

Disagree there too. Yes, it could have been suspended a little earlier, but the reason it wasn't was a rules situation which has now been rectified. So no real harm was done this time, and everybody's clear for next time. Not a "disaster" by any stretch.
