Arlington Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Since he's starting today I thought this was appropriate here. From The Athletic - "Opposing hitters have batting averages under .200 against him whether they’re left-handed, right-handed, playing at home or on the road. Opposing cleanup hitters have a .120/.151/.140 slash line against him. No. 3 hitters? They’re hitting .170, with a .185 OBP. The 5-6-7 hitters are at .191, .152 and .125, respectively." https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6487364/2025/07/11/mlb-awards-races-2025-midseason-judge-ohtani-skubal (paywall) 1 Quote
Sports_Freak Posted July 11 Posted July 11 It's.....raining. Thunder, lightning and lots of rain. Quote
oblong Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Looks like this system will move out but there could be some trouble later.... %'s aren't high but they don't go away either so we'll see. Quote
IdahoBert Posted July 11 Posted July 11 The weather app on my iPhone, which is generally unreliable says it will only be partly cloudy. The Yahoo weather app - which is more reliable - based on Weather Underground that I also access on my phone also says it’s supposed to be only partly cloudy. I guess I’ll just have to tune in and - as children are told - I’ll get what I get and I can’t throw a fit. Quote

If it were a normal 6:40 Skubal start, there would be plenty of time to not even worry about it. But the money hungry corporate types put fans last, we don't matter to them. The rain will start around 9 PM or so; Quote
oblong Posted July 11 Posted July 11 I thjnk the 6:40 times are actually corporate money hungry times. They want you in there earlier so you need them to eat. I hate those start times. 7:10 is much better for alternatives to eat before. I’m glad they moved the Friday start times back to 7 where they belong Quote

IdahoBert Posted July 11 Posted July 11 I’m going to Superman and will probably miss a good part of the game. Good luck all! I don’t have many opportunities to go to films with my son because our schedules are so disparate so I’m not going to lose out on this chance. 5 Quote

But this year, the weather has been even more unpredictable than ever. They could have started early to make sure to get the game in. But with the Apple money, they call the shots. They'll let us know what time they want us to play Quote

Radar looks fine in Detroit compared to the one I just looked at near my house. Quote
CMRivdogs Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Going to the Mets/KC game this evening and doing radar watching. Storms mostly to the north of us now but may hit around game time according to radar. A lot of Mets fans here for the game, or at least several at the Negro Leagues Museum 2 Quote

holygoat Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Ha ha! The camera caught Skubal yelling "Get up there, motherf****er" to Mize when they announced his addition to the ASG. Quote
holygoat Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Gonna be tough on hitters if the ump is gonna give 6 full inches off the plate to the pitchers. Quote
