Wind is going to be howling straight out to left field. Can Riley just play in the bull pen?

Skubal will just strike out everyone.

Think they'll play in a horrible wind storm? It would be ironic if yesterday turned out to be less terrible weather-wise than tonight.

If Hinch were really a great outside the box baseball thinker, he'd run Foley - a RH ground ball pitcher, out there as an opener for an inning or two.

Hopefully Torkelson can pull his pop ups and take advantage of the jet stream.

Hit a pop up to 2nd base and it may end up in the LF stands. It should be interesting, if they play.

Cleveland canceled their game.  Somebody’s driveway must have been wet.

Disagree. Closers are not openers. Not interchangeable.

no doubt you view that as an open and shut case....

If Skilling is any indication, Tigers won't start until something like 930pm ET.

[chasfh]

But make no mistake: whether they start at 800pm ET, or 900pm ET. or 1000pm ET, they're playing tonight.

[gehringer_2]

The system has certainly moved slower than was being predicted earlier in the week. Even yesterday, starting on time today looked like sure thing. Not so much looking out my window now.

The rain may stop, or slow down, at 9PM. But that's when the wind really picks up. Hopefully, the field is playable.

[Dtrain72]

Clearing the tarp, 7:45 eta start time.

[Sports_Freak]

I hope they get this game in, it's fun watching games when it's windy.

That’s great, but interesting, because the radar says it’s still raining. But then, the radar is not in anyone’s driveway.

Radar was clear yesterday...and little wind.

[Dtrain72]

That 3rd strike 100mph was pure unhittable filth.

[Dtrain72]

Canna canna

[Dtrain72]

So far early in the season Canna, Gio, and Keith have the best looking AB approaches of anyone on the team.

[Dtrain72]

Not to be offensive, but is our 3B coach on the spectrum?  Because he's def all over the place...

[AZTigersfan]

Why send him there? A lot of early mistakes by the 3rd base coach. This offense can’t afford to give away outs in the base paths.
