Weather forecast said 40 MPH gusts. I sure hope it blows out when the Tigers are up and in when the Twins bat. And pop ups should be interesting.

Tigers prepared with their scuba gear. Passing out umbrellas in the dugout. Wouldn't wanna get their tootsies wet...🤣🤣

Going by the forecast, tonight's game will be even worse. Heavy rain ending around gametime but also 40 MPH winds. Gonna be nasty.

No, it didn't. I'm 15 minutes from Comerica. There's no reason to be snarky... I'm saying they could have played. They went by an incorrect forecast. "Due to the weather forecast;"

They better call today's game too, it might sprinkle.

They've been hot, not a good time to face them. But a loss all but eliminates us.

I can't rewind it but I thought I heard it too.

Yes, my only point was they could have played. The heaviest drizzle was only for a short time, other times it was dry. Overcast and chilly but I just think they called it way too soon because of the weather forecast. They called for heavy rainfall that never came.

It's clear all the way from my house to Comerica. Has been for hours...

I'm south of Comerica and it hasn't even drizzled in 2 hours. Weather forecasts are very unreliable and they could have played today. The game was called too soon.

Yeah, about 5:30. My driveway is dry, I'm sure a well maintained baseball field has excellent drainage. This game was called too early. They didn't even try to play...

It's not even raining. They coulda played.

Those bats didn't break like the bats of today. And watching older games on YouTube? They didn't change the ball very often. They could play an entire inning with one ball. These modern days players are so spoiled...😁

And, TBF, Colt is very raw. I see the potential the Tigers are counting on and from the eye test, he looks like our 2nd baseman for the next 10+ years. Working with many different hitting coaches could be a bad thing. Too much advice that's been thrown at the hitters. So whenever there's a change, many players won't buy in until they see success. Hitting wise, whatever they're doing, isn't working. We could just blame the weather and root for them to stay close until it warms up. I know Javy will struggle but we should have enough hitters to carry him. Carp, Tork and Greene all need to figure things out, either here or in Toledo. And? Nice chart!

But it seems like they should be able to purchase a players contract. This guy made 2 more long field goals in his 2nd game. He's going to be kicking for somebody this fall...

Tork struggled last spring...started the season in a slump. Now he struggled this spring and got off to a slow start...spring results sometimes matter.

Nobody said that!! 😁

Some people say that playing in college is a bit like minor league training. Aluminum bats screw up many scouts judgement, IMO.

Whis stats are those? Usually the Free Press is pretty accurate. And I thought I remember hearing he was struggling at the time.

IDK all the reasons. Maybe it's in the players contracts?

It's too bad spring training stats are so meaningless. Many saw him struggling in Florida and just shrugged it off. And here we are....

An article in today's Free Press says it's illegal for teams to contact UFL players. Teams are allowed to contact teams about their players but aren't supposed to directly contact any player.

"Hey, Rockie, watch me pull a win outta my ass"
