Storm sirens blaring; might be best to root for rain.

The Twins and Braves must have been adamant against playing a double header and agreed to get this game in tonight, and the umpires asked to wait this out for as long as they can? 

Games have been postponed for much lesser weather. 

Then again I think rules for suspended games are different than they used to be?

Margot watches his foul ball stay fair. Easily a triple. Makes third by stealing. But Margot won't win any fans doing that. Rocco won't mind though cuz he runs hard 99 times out of 100 

[Patzky]

Wet balls make for sloppy control

[Vanimal46]

Im surprised they even started playing this game tonight. The skies look scary

Let's just call this game a wash.

Just wait a sec — It gets better (worse)

[CRF]

Wow...they're opening a can on Ober. Where's the rain?

[Patzky]

Are these the Royals or Atlanta?

[Aggies7]

Omg

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

For real—what are the suspended game rules? Is any of this going to count? 

[Tlaker]

Ober serving up meatballs. He doesn’t want to be there

[Aggies7]

Thankfully the Red Sox are 5 back 😂

Give it about 2 minutes. It’s pouring here about 5 miles west of TF.

Come on big red splotch on the radar. You can get to downtown Minneapolis. I know you can. 

At this point... I might be OK... if that big red splotch on the radar takes down the IDS building if it means the game gets called before 5 innings are complete.

The rules changed in 2020 (I think). Suspended games are now picked up at the point it was suspended.

What a joke. On so many levels.

Correct.

Oh yeah it counts. The only positive will be a longer delay will probably knock Fried out.

[BH67]

The first five batters in the Braves lineup have a 2.900 OPS so far tonight.

Hopefully, Bailey has gotten this out of his system for the rest of the regular season.
