Any guess on how much of a delay?

Thought I heard them say 7:30 or so, but we just had another shower pass through to the west.

[dlayman]

These weather conditions sure make for some interesting line up combinations.  All the  stuff about  who feels comfortable hitting where seems to go out the window ,as it should.  I'd much rather protect the players physically.

[Slateman]

I see they learned their lesson about drying off the bases

[dlayman]

Very happy to see TT back but if the weather takes a dump, give him and JW another day off.  In fact if it's crappy and not cancelled, play the "c" lineup.  And the "C" bullpen if appropriate.

[NatsAllThe Way]

How many season-ending injuries must we endure this evening?

[varoadking]

Why the hell did they start this in the rain?

[dlayman]

Plus we will be spared against having to face Cy Worley yet again.

So Stanton could go yard, apparently...

[mmzznnxx]

Game. We ain't breaking Worley.

WHO WANTS TO SEE SOME DINGERS?!?!?!

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

If MLB can get attendance and ratings up in Miami, they'll chuck some virgins in the volcano

[dlayman]

Well  I'm obviously  falling behind, being put of market.  Let's just hope for minimal or non catastrophic damage.  With respect to Houston and the vacinity.

[Elvir Ovcina]

That's the worst defensive outfield I've seen in a major league lineup in quite a while.

Could be, but whatever mitigates our risk is fine.   This game being played is BS. MLB is happy that GS hit another out.  I'm fine with that, just don't get any of our players injured.

[RobDibblesGhost]

Jackson doesn't have any command tonight.

Hope it pours and this one is called off...should never have started it to begin with...

[RobDibblesGhost]

Still plenty of Harper action figure thingies available

[RobDibblesGhost]

Wow 😳

[varoadking]

Welcome back, TT...

[RobDibblesGhost]

Oh crap. We're facing Vance Worley   Game.

[varoadking]

6 pitch inning...

[bluestreak]

I am making my first trip to the Norfolk Southern Club. It’s nice in here.

[RobDibblesGhost]

I've said it before...if the Cubs could pull off a waiver trade for Worley, they beat the Nats easily in the NLDS.
