As of right now, 90% chance of rain at 7pm and 8pm. Down to 35% at 9pm. High probability of at the minimum being delayed if not postponed.

It’s the Cubs, they cancel on 70 and sunny some days. I fully expect to see baseball tomorrow…

Good. I could use a day off after this weekend and so could the Brewers pitching staff.

[Sixtofan]

Probably too late but it would be good to push Freddy back a day so we don’t end up wasting his turn on a two inning start followed by long rain delay.

The Cubs aren't contending and don't have Joe Maddon continuously burning out the bullpen, a classic Cubs "fake" rainout isn't likely as they won't specifically benefit from it.

A double header would be great. Use our starting pitching to get possible complete games. Come on rain!

For real. The less innings this AAAA bullpen needs to cover the better.

Freddy for 6 and Williams for 1 sounds way better than Freddy for 6, Williams for 1, Boxberger for 1, and yikes for 1.

How about Freddy for 7 and Ashby for 7 and we have nice, stress-free night not having to worry about the bullpen coming in at all.

[BruisedCrew]

That chance of rain might be in the form of severe thunderstorms. If that threat is there any time before 7 there's a good chance the start would be delayed or the game postponed.

 

I would be in favor of an early cancellation, then go with Peralta and TBD spot starter tomorrow.

That would be great if the offense can produce 5 or 6 runs against the likes of "No Hit" Mills.

I have tickets for tonight so I hope they decide in the next few hours, regardless of the decision.

 

edit: weather in North Chicago looks clear from 7:30 until tomorrow morning.

I see the reds are facing a pitcher with an 8 era tonight

I don't think the heavy stuff is going to come down for quite a while

Cain looks like he's about 60 when he's just standing holding a bat too.

That does not look like Cain to me. Aren't his hands usually a lot higher than that?

Strickland is back

He's out of the game already after two innings. Looks like the Indians are having a bullpen game.

[PinaMadness]

Strickland is back

 

Good news. Let's get Cousins back soon too. I've been looking forward to getting those guys back more than Yelich.

[Simba2020]

Such a sad statement but one I completely agree with.

The Indians starting rotation has been ravaged by injuries all season.

 

The Reds were hitting liners all over the park in the first two innings but only managed one run. Hopefully the replacements can do better and protect what is now a 5-1 lead for the Tribe. Castillo is having a rough night.

[NYChez]

If tonight’s game starts on time, I’d consider having an opener and then have Freddy start after the inevitable rain delay.
