Apparently, the Rockies Twitter crew also forgot about the getaway day start time, because they haven't posted a graphic yet.

Thomas doubles to start the game.

Bases loaded, none out in the top of the first.

Last night's game is on the other MASN channel...I turned it on and was like "why's it so dark in Denver??"   

[Dave in Fairfax]

After bases loaded again with 2 outs, inning ends. Positives: some early hitting and scoring. Negatives: already missing a lot of opportunities.

Last night's O's game encore was still running on MASN1 when this started.

Sawks have started Choke Weekend™ early this year

Well that sucked.

[Dave in Fairfax]

Well, that's not good. Two quick outs and then this...

[Dave in Fairfax]

Apparently, there was a 40-50% chance of precipitation at game time, which baseballpress.com did not note when I prepared the GDT. Skies getting gray.

skies are black on MASN1

Bases loaded again and again

Bases loaded, none out again.

Tarp coming out.

I was wondering whether it was going to take an F4 tornado to stop this game

[skippy1999]

yea what's going on, why the delay? rain or snow lol?

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

Skies opened up - not frozen though.  Years ago I got caught in a hailstorm around there, like golf ball size hailstones

The temperature dropped almost ten degrees in about an hour, so if current trends continue, there will be snow in a few hours.

If it snows, all of Denver will be loading their skis and dogs into the Subaru for the drive up I-70

No ski areas open this early as far as I know. Not even Leadville will have enough accumulation to ski unless they are willing to go into the back country.

Just checked the top lift cam at Loveland, no snow (that's almost 13k elevation). 

I remember watching this Nats Classic game...Patterson getting lit up in Pittsburgh.  I'm trying to remember who was in the booth at that point...Sutton and Darling?

My son posted snow on Breckenridge earlier today, said they should be skiing in a couple weeks.

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

Does he live there?  If so, he's good at life
