That's going to bring rain.

It's too bad they optioned Gee to AAA yesterday 'cause they're going to need him today.

 

Oh well, at least that means we'll likely get to see Busenitz and Hildenberger again.

[jimbo92107]

This game is sooooo going to be rain delayed in about fifteen minutes, as of now.

2015: supposed-to-be-good lefty gives up huge homer to weak hitting catcher; Twins management - "we better get that guy!"

 

2017: supposed-to-be-good lefty gives up huge homer to weak hitting catcher; Twins management - "we better get RID OF that guy" (I hope).

That would be a waste of money and a risk of an expensive lawsuit.

 

That only depends on how you treat them. Though admittedly, it might still be a waste of money.

You know, if you got a little busy for a couple of days, and didn't bother to follow the rotation, wouldn't it be nice to check in and see who's pitching and say, "Oh, it's 'Santiago' today," instead of "Oh, my God..."

 

well, you said it better than me...

The rain delay is brought to you by LL Bean.... At least NESN says so.

I was surprised they bothered to start the game. It seemed pretty obvious from the radar that another round of rain was coming. Now both teams' bullpens are messed up. Nice job Fenway meteorologist.

FoxSports has indicated the rain delay is sponsored by Chevrolet.

 

That effing truck commercial has played 5 times already.

 

If I hear "oh snap" one more time, I'm going to lose it.

I will now recommend the MyRadar app for Windows 10.

If rain's gonna look this good, then baby...bring the rain.

Had a rib-tickling standup routine, too...

 

Paragon must be the the word of the day...

 

YEHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I stand corrected...

This can only help us since our bullpen was messed up already.

If you lose it... Just remember where ya last had it so you can find it again...

 

LL Bean is perhaps mildly more tasteful. Just on every digigtally created on-screen banner. Which was a little tacky when there were more than 2 of them.

 

But it is also printed on the infield tarp, "keeping sox dry since 1912" which is kinda cool.

See, could have started Duffy, gotten a couple of really good innings, then brought Santiago in to blow it in the 3rd.

[Craig Arko]

In many respects a rainout here is the best outcome.

Meh. My recollection of a few hours ago was that it wasn't a solid line, but spots here and there, and could have missed Fenway. But of course weather is smarter than we give it credit for.

I can think of better outcomes. But i admit they might be much much less likely, than the worse outcomes.

 

However this is a road game so i wouldn't count them out yet.

Wait... we are on the road.

I checked the game at 6:30, saw it was delayed, checked the radar, and immediately thought this game wasn't starting until 9:00 central.

The makeup game played later in the year would also be a road game.

 

Unless it's played in Puerto Rico.

[diehardtwinsfan]

So... fun with numbers, but our friend Nick Tepesch has an ERA of 67.50... in the GCL...

It is indeed a good way of making up a 2 run deficit...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hmmm.

 

If it gets rescheduled to a day game tomorrow or the next, How difficult might it be to score tickets...

 

This bares looking into.

That would have required out of the box thinking by the manager.
