Weather looks like it may be playable for a little while. yup - maybe a delay in the middle as another piece of the front clears, but it looks there could be a couple of openings to get it in. What would help in a situation like this would be permission to move up the start time. If they went as soon as it clears that's a better bet than waiting till 7 something.

Stolen base and winning run scored in that 1-0 win. And then putting the ball in play to score a runner from 3rd with less than 2 out in extras yesterday.

Sports_Freak Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 They're prolly not gonna play. That clearing window closed to less than 3 hours. We risk Mize getting hurt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigeraholic1 Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 Rain delay thought. Jason Benetti has been fantastic. He is very well spoken and funny as hell. He has referenced Tropic Thunder, Step Brothers and DMX. He tries and I stress tries to get C-Moe to relax and stop screeching. 10+ War over Shep. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casimir Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Poor Casey Mize. He finally gets to return to actual MLB regular season action and this delay happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I had to turn the speakers off because of Craig. He needs to be replaced. Another point, those Buffalo Wild Wing commercials were pretty funny the first 10 times or so.

Well, do we know Hinch is just pushing the rotation back in order? This would push everyone else back a few days. It might be more ideal to skip Mize for now (have him pitch a short simulated bullpen) and try to keep the other SP on a more regular schedule.

I've been trying to figure out how to get Skubal the opening day start againt the lowly A's. This would work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasfh Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Looking at the Skilling app, they may have a two-hour window to get most if not all of the game in, but it’s probably not until after 10pm local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The radar looks funny. The cloud motion makes it look like the front should be moving east, but the line of rain just keeps re-forming in place.

They may have 2 hours but they'll spend an hour getting the field ready. And how's the drainage at Shea? They prolly won't play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports_Freak Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Weather doesn't look good for anytime tomorrow, either. 2 early season rainouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports_Freak Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Yeah, the Mets and Tigers are both off Thursday and NY only travels to Cincinnati and the Tigers come home. But it'll put an early season strain on both bullpens. Not ideal but I hope they play 2 on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
