they aint playing

 

[gehringer_2]

play two Saturday

[chasfh]

It doesn’t much look like they’re gonna get tonight’s game in, and they don’t have a workable common off day until September 23 (unless Thursday after All-Star Game is on the table), so they may have to play a doubleheader. That would make seven games against our key division rival in the next ten days. This might set the tone for the whole season, right here.

[Tigerbomb13]

Might as well postpone this one now 

[casimir]

Good thing tomorrow is a night game.  Looks like the rain lasts throughout today and into the earlier part of tomorrow.

[Tigeraholic1]

At least we get the Pistons tonight!

[Motor City Sonics]

Will the Tigers do the right thing and just call this already or will the sucker a few hundred into coming in and spending money on food & beverage?  

[Shades of Deivi Cruz]

Rained out. Straight DH on Sat.

Threatening people seems unnecessary, sir.

[casimir]

Do the Tigers have any bats from good hitters of the past?  Especially from the early to mid 90s like Whitaker, Trammell, Fryman, Phillips, Tettleton?  Chop a couple up into seed like sizes and plant them.  Maybe with the rain and some sunshine later on they'll be harvestable in a couple of months.

I mean it's good that the bullpen gets two off days but 2 days of no baseball in no bueno.

And honestly, two games in one day feels like too much. It's not because I don't have six hours I can devote to it, but rather, there are other things I like to do with my day as well.

Especially a weekend day, I am happy when it is a work day that I can have it on in the background while I work and then get some extra baseball after I clock out.

Those bats didn't break like the bats of today. And watching older games on YouTube? They didn't change the ball very often. They could play an entire inning with one ball. These modern days players are so spoiled...😁

Agree. But if they wanna win the division, they have to win these games. Time to put up or shut up.

Doubt it gets played but this is the free game of the day for MiLB:

Yeah, about 5:30. My driveway is dry, I'm sure a well maintained baseball field has excellent drainage. This game was called too early. They didn't even try to play...

[theroundsquare]

really?  it's been steady raining or at least drizzly here around 15 & Woodward

I'm south of Comerica and it hasn't even drizzled in 2 hours. Weather forecasts are very unreliable and they could have played today. The game was called too soon.

[gehringer_2]

Toledo now also with a Doubleheader Saturday. LOL - Will Toledo call up a pitcher from Erie while Det calls up a pitcher from Toledo (which we assume will be Manning...)
