I just finished my daily walk in the Boise foothills in the Botanical Garden. How long does the delay appear to be? I see that the radio broadcast is still on.

My guess is 2:30  EDT for 1st pitch.

[IdahoBert]

I see that the tigers radio broadcast has deferred to sports talk radio so I guess it’s gonna be a while before the game begins. It’s such a luxury to listen to Dan on the radio in the car. I wish I could’ve listened longer.

215 start

[IdahoBert]

Just got home from a 3 mile walk in the Boise foothills. It stopped raining here, but we had tremendous hail and lightning and thunder claps last night.

I see they’ve got the pregame on TV.

Jason Beck says 2:15 PM.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

and my MLB app just notified me that the game is "about to start", which is usually 20-25 minutes beforehand.

[IdahoBert]

Wow, the rain delay chat is more insipid than usual. I’m actually glad Daniella isn’t being subjected to this. 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

McGonigle kicks ass.

[IdahoBert]

Game started at 2:16 PM EDT. And Kevin‘s first touch of the ball leads to probably a highlight reel.

[IdahoBert]

A fan gets a souvenir. I have lots of balls.

[Sports_Freak]

And Witt doesn't usually look so bad while striking out.

From games.

Three up three down 2K’s for Montero in the first

[Sports_Freak]

16 pitch 1st inning for Montero, 2 strikeouts.

[IdahoBert]

The OBP monster machine Torres with a leadoff walk. And KM correctly challenges a strike that is a ball. Then the Royals catcher which is not Perez today challenges a ball that was a strike. Humble Pie day for the home plate umpire.

[IdahoBert]

Jones grounds into a DP. 

[Sports_Freak]

Why is Jones hitting 3rd? Why is Jones even on the team? Are there any RH hitters in Toledo that can actually hit?

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

McGonigle makes that play.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Tork RBI double!

[IdahoBert]

We have a run, but a few more would be nice. 

[Sports_Freak]

Jason calls his Pear-ez...I say Perez.

[Sports_Freak]

Umpire had to drop a deuce?

[Sports_Freak]

Tigers flashing leather!!

[IdahoBert]

Matty looked good on that diving catch. And then the horrid interruption of an ingame interview, but at least the player isn’t in the field. I just hate that stuff.

[IdahoBert]

Montero standing at only 38 pitches in three innings. It would be nice to see him go seven or eight.
