GDT : Cards vs. Nationals (7/8) ~ 6:45pm CDT

[Alex Reyes Cy Young]

So many rainouts and delays

Yep, fans in county may not get home til 12:30 a.m. or later.. get up early for work Wed.

Retractable roof and the game would be in the 7th or 8th inning by now and dry seats in the park. Oh well !

Never understood why they never did install a retractable roof. Penny wise pound foolish.

12.5 Runs....Over/Under....amount of runs the Cards score this series?

[Melville]

Just IL Arenado already

10 day IL should have been done

It can be backdated if necessary.
There is very good reason they have not done so.
And I know exactly why that is.

Just say what you think Mel. Right or wrong. Just say it.

Certainly.
Three reasons.
One, they don't want to DL him before the trade deadline.
Two, the next 12 games are against poor teams and it may give Arenado a chance to show more productivity.
Three, the ASG break is rapidly approaching, which will be him a built-in break, without hitting the DL.
Bottom line: he only goes on the DL if there is simply no way to avoid it.

9 pm start per Katie woo

Thanks-appreciated.
On the West Coast, it works for me, as long as Gray doesn’t blowup.

I never know how to answer these questions.

There is the dreamer part of me who hasn't lost all hope yet who wants to say "OVER!!! .... Obviously!"

Then there is the glass half empty Eeyore part of me that thinks... "under....obviously"

I am going with Eeyore ... let's say .. Under ... (4runs, 5runs, and 1run (not necessarily in that order))

I agree completely. I love your takes, I just don't know why you didn't just say that. There's no need for a grand entry. You got this Mel!

[82birds]

Abrams has pretty good leadoff numbers
and Sonny gets him 1-3

I was nearly walking out the door and did not want to keep someone waiting.
Did not have time for a conversation.
So I simply teed it up until I could engage more fully.

Fair enough Sir. Thanks always for your input.

superb first inning Sonny

don't change a thing

Mr. Gray is dripping sweat. The humidity is clearly off the map, as so often was the casein my old home town. So help me remember something, please
With the high humidity… Super high humidity like there is now… what is the effect on the game? How does it affect pitches, the way the ball carries, etc.?
