2021-08-09: Brewers (Peralta) at Cubs (Mills) [Game Postponed]

[crossface21]

Tarp just being put out. Game is being delayed. Update around 7pm.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Still early, but looking like some ground will be gained even if the Brewers can't get a game in tonight.

[markedman5]

Reds not enjoying having to play somebody other then the Pirates tonight. At least not so far.

[owbc]

Nothing like a tornadic supercell to make for interesting baseball. Maybe there will be some baseball-sized chunks of ice falling from the sky.

 

It's going to take a couple hours for this stuff to move through so I'm guessing they cancel the game.

[willie key]

Interesting. I live in downtown Chicago and there is no weather issues yet

 

 

This must be because something is coming

[folly412]

Save four innings of pen time. I'll take it.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Just looking at the radar and weather report, I don't see a strong chance of baseball tonight.

I'm in Wicker Park. Do you have a window that faces west?

[LouisEly]

Tornado warning for Kane and DuPage counties

[wibadgers23]

Reds down 8-2 now in the 6th. Would be great to see them lose tonight and then have to head to Atlanta for three games.

[umphrey]

At the stadium, no ppd but lightning warning now

Yes. It’s starting to look dark now

9-2 CLeveland

9-2 CLeveland

That homer by Zimmer went a long, long way. Absolutely crushed dead center. Amazing.

[markedman5]

Reds lost…..9-3 final

[wildcat83]

Getting pretty late to make a decision. If your not on the field by 9:00 probably should be called.

[JohnBriggs12]

I'm in Elk Grove Village, a block north of Du Page County. Storms keep developing and are all moving on basically the same line toward the north side of Chicago. There's breaks but not enough to get a game started. I don't see them getting it in tonight.

[Eye Black]

Per Adam McCalvy:

 

Brewers-Cubs PPD. Split doubleheader tomorrow. 1:20 p.m. CT and 7:05 p.m. CT. There was no window.

 

Tuesday’s games will be 7 innings apiece.

[markedman5]

Freddy in game 1,,,,,hope it works out as well as it did in Washington.

 

Ashby game 2……hole he is better then his first start……it couldn’t be worse.

According to Todd Rosiak:

 

Freddy Peralta starting Game 1 tomorrow, Aaron Ashby Game 2.

[Underachiever]

Four fewer innings to cover!

[adambr2]

Is it just me or is a split 7 inning doubleheader probably for the best anyway? Minimize the pen. Although we probably can't expect a long outing out of Ashby anyway.

[NYChez]

And will hopefully have Cousins back.

I think they are great……wouldn’t mind it as a permanent change though I know it won’t be.

[Underachiever]

Anyone need three for 1:20? I’ll make a real good deal! I was supposed to go tonight, but gave them to my son because I got COVID, now he has to work tomorrow. I have three in Section 204, row 7.
