[Tigeraholic1]

The rain has me worried about Skubal.

As of now it looks like the bulk of the rain begins around midnight.  However, we all know how that could change.

[Tigeraholic1]

Another concern

May be approaching midnight for us.  Even if we get past the Guardians, will be tough to progress with Carp and Rogers out, if that happens.  Who would get added to the roster—Baddoo and Liam Hicks?

[RatkoVarda]

if they can scrape together 3 runs, they can win

[lordstanley]

Maybe Carp can be ready enough to hobble up to the plate as a pinch hitter like Kirk Gibson for an unforgettable 9th inning home run.

Bligh Madris is not a name I expected (or wanted) to hear again this season, especially since it would mean no Carp for the Yankees series.

I was going to say that, but you beat me to it.

He won’t have to run if he hits it over the fence. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Knowing how this season is going, Madris will pinch hit in the 9th and get the game winning hit.

I would LOVE it if they would move the start time back to 4:08. Then I could follow the game even though I'm 6 hours ahead.

Must win, amirite?

Drats....breaking News and I was beaten to again;

 

[lordstanley]

Well, early for me at 10:08am Vancouver time, but if it means a better chance of Skubal’s not being interrupted by rain or delays, then it’s worth it. 

[oblong]

We go to Yates.  For 20 years we went to a new place every year. We finally settled on that one.  It's far enough away from us to feel like a road trip and we love the trail along the Clinton River that you can walk on.  

[romad1]

actually perfect time given no Michigan football game and my team's softball game ending right at 1pm. 

[Tigeraholic1]

MLB refuses to give us an actual prime time game lol
