Game 60 Rain Delay thread

PrintSo, we're in a rain delay. Let's hope they get this in, and the bats stay alive. I'd hate to see a steal of home not count. 5-0 Cardinals, top of fifth, two on for the cards, no out

It depends on how we do in the makeup game
We lost the makeup with COL. I don’t even know if they’d make this one up unless it’s needed to determine a tie or something like that, or if we get a DH tomorrow or Thursday.

We had a victory vs Colorado
washed away and a loss vs Pittsburgh saved as the rain refused to all out fall down.

Didn't realize you were thinking of the PIT game
I’ll be as pissed as the next guy, but if they postpone this one and we make it up and win, then it’s all the same, save the stats.

Remember that game against the Mets last year
when it got rained out in the 6th or 7th and we were only one down. SUCKED!

50% chance of thunderstorms tomorrow night
since this is our only series at Washington I’m hoping they might be pressed to get this one in.
Looking at the radar again
It looks like there’s going to be a small window (maybe 10 to 15 minutes), then another period of showers, then a big window. I don’t know if they’ll wait it out though.

nope. Actually
choose a coordinate system with a timelike coordinate that is the generator of the worldline of the earth, and three spacelike coordinates normal to it. The sun revolves around the earth in this coordinate system. And the equivalence principle says that the laws of physics in both systems will be the same.

the the Pads should take after a good team, like the Rays
who’d have ever thought they’d get the opportunity to say that
except
Pujols didn’t take out the Rays pitcher and catcher in the same inning

How're the 2 dudes Pujols took out in one inning?
Are they DL’d still?

If he doesn't pitch the 9th
he might never get an opportunity.
Formerly Big Red (victim of the SBNation upgrade)
NAh, he does't get on top of his pitches
So we cannot trust him with any lead. Sould have kept Jimenez up, now there it a pitchers that throws from the correct arm slot.
Heh
If Jiminez were still up, he would have pitched in this game and we’d be ahead by only one or two runs, if not tied or losing

sleep is far more attractive than the cubs
I’d take that 94mph fastball to the head over a cubs game
I want to see if the padres can beat them
at least, I’ll wait until midnight or so while flipping through channels

watching to see them lose is understandable
I think I’d rather sleep though
yeah

I think they will fall apart at some point. otherwise, they’ll blow it in the 1st round of the playoffs as per usual

We haven't had a submariner in waaay too long
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
is that submarine or side-arm?
arm looks like side-arm, body looks like submarine
and it doesn't really look like the motion is consistent
he’s also putting a weird spin on the ball—ball 1 had almost a screwball motion to it
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
No way a RHB can be comfortable up there
Nice to see something different.

How does he hit 90 from that motion?
Yikes, thats more than a bit unique.
It has got
to be incredibly hard to locate with that delivery. He is driving toward the dugout, not the plate. How you control the left-right direction of a pitch with that delivery is beyond me.
Pretty much
on every pitch the ball starts outside of Molina’s right shoulder. It is just how much does it come back.
Watching the home plate cam on the pitch...
really showed how hard it was to locate. Especially coming at you at 90+.

Good thing we didn't bring in the defensive specialist.

I was excited
that tonight’s game was being played in the time zone that I live in. (Because I need to get some sleep. Yawn!) That didn’t exactly work out for me, thanks to Mother Nature. Good game anyway. ‘Night all, I’m outta here.

This whole series
is a clusterf* for me, because even though I live in the O’s/Nats “home area”, I can’t watch the games, because
A) they’re blacked out on mlbtv; and B) my Comcast system doesn’t carry MASN.
I’m moving out into the county in two weeks, and that cable system(Jet Broadband) doesn’t carry MASN, either. Oh well…
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
MLB.tv zip code
unless they are now verifying location by IP address (which can be spoofed as well) you can always have them change the zip code for your account, not sure if it has to be the billing location or if there is a current location thing. I have heard of people traveling that have gotten access even though they would have been blacked out had they been at home.
fe;t bad when I lost a finger, then I saw a man with no arm.
Where I live there is a blackout on all MLB. I’m lucky when gameday and audio comes in!
Still wildly happy about this season. I did NOT see it coming. ..
cubs lose cubs lose cubs lose
hooray padres
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you haven't grasped the situation!
