According to Haudricourt, there is a 70% chance of rain tonight.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Looking at the advanced radar, it seems like the rain will be pretty scattered, and mostly done with by game time. I think they'll get the game in, maybe with a short delay at the beginning.

Now if RRR could learn the Braves technique of batting your good catcher higher but batting your terrible one 8, instead of designating the 8 spot as the catchers spot regardless of the player.

[logan82]

I let out a small sigh of relief when I saw this lineup. Just a small one. Now we have to get through a few games without any stupid base running mistakes. Gomez out should help.

[dlk9s]

Of course, the one game I plan on going to might have rain issues. Just heard thunder up her NW of the city.

 

EDIT: Ooh, just refreshed the hour-by-hour weather page and the chance of rain during the game just went down.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Thank god. Now, will Ron be able to resist ever putting Gomez in the #2 hole ever again? Or benching Plush against a RHP? I doubt it, but at least this lineup looks decent for the first time all season.

[brwrsfan]

The weather doesn't look that bad. Maybe a small delay but it appears that they should be able to get the game in without much of a problem. Hopefully Morgan continues to roll and takes the decision basically away from Roenicke because I'm not sure he'd make the right one.

 

We really need to start winning games. Other than Saito..as of tomorrow we will have our entire projected team together. Time to stop giving away games and pick it up a knothc or six.

[PrinceEatMeat]

YES! Plush in CF and batting second first game back. This is a very good sign.

[cnycerveceros]

Very happy to see this lineup, finally.

[Funketown]

Dear Ron,

 

Clap. Clap. Clap.

 

That top six looks really good against a righty. Let's hope it looks as good on the field as it does on paper.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Looks like it might take until 8 CT for the rain to pass.

[owbc]

Yeah not looking good to start on time with another round of rain moving in. I wouldn't be surprised if the game gets called tonight.

[stoutdude04]

I wish the league would start making teams put a roof up. These rain delays/cancellations sure are a pain.

[young guns]

Any word on when the game might start?

[hawing]

Baah, there's nothing now to stop Glee in our house. And this week they're doing Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours." Damn you, rain!

[topper09er]

BA just said they were confident they would play the game tonight, no word on when yet.

[dabrew141]

time to catch up on game of thrones

[ELCABALLO45]

Haudricourt just tweeted

 

"Just received unofficial word that the Brewers-Braves game is going to postponed. No official announcement has been made.

[topper09er]

BA just said they were confident they would play the game tonight, no word on when yet.

Well that was a lie, now postponed to tomorrow at 3 central.

[TerraceReserved]

FSN says game is called. Traditional doubleheader tomorrow. I dislike rain.

Brewers-Braves game is postponed by rain. Will be made up Wednesday in traditional doubleheader (not day-night) at 4 p.m.

[Vgmastr]

Please tell me Greinke is starting Game 2, if I have to miss seeing his first start because of a stupid rainout...

[Funketown]

I won't complain as I'll be out of class tomorrow by 3:00! Two Brewers games, 3 weeks left in the school year...Yup, nothing will get done tomorrow.

 

Oh, and ZACH FREAKIN' GREINKE is pitching tomorrow.
