I didn't see any fans complaining, nor many empty seats.

I'm not taking SOMEONE'S side here, but the game could have been played Tuesday between games 4 & 5. Not putting the blame on MLB, because I'm sure they had a reason for letting them play, but this schedule is new this year, so maybe you didn't know about the off day. Backing it up probably could/should not have been an issue.
