It's looking like this one could be rained out.

[owbc]

No way this one gets played. Doubleheader tomorrow or Sunday?

[PrinceEatMeat]

The easiest thing to do would be to just tack on the extra game after the afternoon game on Sunday, but they may just play it right away tomorrow. We'll see what they decide. The Brewers are traveling back home on Sunday, so it's not very far. I could see them agreeing to play the DH on Sunday. It's either that or a day/night DH tomorrow.

[djoctagone]

let's hope this allows for a-ram to start in all three games.

[AZBrewCrew]

I'm not an umpire or the commish but there's no way this game gets played tonight.

[crossface21]

They just said that if projections are correct, they are going to try and start the game around 9:30.

[owbc]

I'm surprised they decided to play tonight, especially with nice weather expected tomorrow. I can't imagine that many fans will be left.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I guess they really didn't wanna play a DH. I don't mind though. I'll be watching.

[Invader3K]

Look at that crowd. These St. Louis fans should be ashamed.

[pebadger]

Nice. Good weather decision, STL. Fight through it, Nori.

[jerichoholicninja]

Words cannot describe how much I hate Roenicke. Failed squeeze and then the stupid contact play, which ultimately wound up with the same situation if Bianchi didn't go but still.

[jason21nl]

Not at all a fan of the squeeze play there.

[AZBrewCrew]

I think they must have the same person who made the decision to leave the roof open at Miller Park resulting in a rain delay a few weeks back calling the shots tonight.

[AZBrewCrew]

That was a bit sloppy,but I'll take it.

[AZBrewCrew]

Man,I love this bullpen. Also I realize since its late im probably posting in here to myself but can anyone tell me why Morgan is PH instead of Schafer or well..anyone else.

[The stache]

Bullpen blows it again.

[The stache]

Of all the pitchers Roenicke has at his disposal....he chooses Parra? Good God.

[AZBrewCrew]

And if a 2 and a half hour rain delay wasn't enough, we've got bonus baseball

[pebadger]

I'm approaching 21 hours without sleep which is quite a feat for me so far removed from college, a nd yet the stark terror induced by the pen has me wide awake. Odd thing is, it gets worse when they lead. Please win this thing, Crew. Soon.

[jerichoholicninja]

Classy umps tonight. They don't blow that call at home earlier in the game we could all be sleeping right now.

[AZBrewCrew]

I know he's been less than stellar this year but is Ax not.available tonight?

[sdcheezhd]

Ax won't be in until it's a save situation.

[TooLiveBrew]

Wow. There's 'slow', and then there's Martin Maldonado.

[AZBrewCrew]

Wow. There's 'slow', and then there's Martin Maldonado.

 

I think he's "fast" compared to Johnny Estrada
