Last night when I was at the game, I tried streaming the radio feed, and it was probably 3 minutes or so behind live action. Must be something about how they're processing, transmitting, and distributing the audio.
Just saw the replay of Vierling's slide. Would have been weird if the catcher had managed to tag the dislodged helmet as it bounced off of Vierling's backside. If the helmet had been in contact with his butt at the time of a tag, would he have been out?
To be fair, it was a pretty close shave with the heavier rain according to the radar. The 1 PM round looks like it doused the Grosse Pointes pretty well as it moved just east of due north.
But now I think they'll just aim for 7 PM.
