No it doesn't, but Cincy looks to be on the western edge of the huge swath of rain, so they might be able to get the game in, though a delay may be possible. Weather.com's hourly forecast alternates between cloudy skies and light rain during the afternoon, tapering to showers this evening. Since this is the last time we play the Reds, they'll do whatever it takes to get the game in. By the way, this is the same weather system that's supposed to give us a washout tomorrow (rain and thunder predicted every hour from noon tomorrow until 9am Tuesday).

it seems like for the last two years, we've had some bad cells come through the area during home stands.

i trust weather.com, but recently they have been way off. i hope it's just light rain/clouds.

This looks like a definite rainout

Of course, ruins the freaking winning momentum we had

Not looking too good on Capital Weather Gang right now either for the start of the upcoming homestand - their current chances of rain:

Monday (Padres, 19.05) - 80%
Tuesday (Padres, 13.05) - 50%
Wednesday (Pirates, 19.05) - 20%

Per Slowes: next meeting between umpires and grounds crew will be at 14.00 (50min from now) re whether to try to get the match in.

Is this the last meeting of the season between the two teams?

Edit: Yes it is... so they'll either try to wait it out... or have to play it on a mutual off-day in the future.

Here's the report on Ramos who will likely miss the rest of the season:

Teams met at 2pm, and came to no conclusion. Umpires and teams will reconvene at 3pm and a new update will be given.

No way this game gets played. Huge rain band behind it. Looks like its going to rain in Cincy for a few more hours folks.

Although according to the radar there looks to be a bit of a break potentially coming. I don't know though. Its hard to say, the system looks to be moving pretty slow so who knows how long before it stops.
