If it's more than 45 minutes, they go to the bullpen.

Gonna be much longer than that it seems.

Clears up around ~3:15 so i'd guess about ~4pm ish restart

Both Cleveland and Detroit have nice stadiums with a decent amount of food/bar options around the stadium. Visited both in the last few years and stayed within a mile or so of the parks and was able to walk around and to/from the games easily. Pleasantly surprised by both.

I'll be watching 'Speed' until further notice

He played 2B for us once.

2 of my kids went to the game today with their friends. Can’t imagine how long of a day it will be for them.

Can probably get 7 IP out Brazoban, Macdougal and Smith if all goes well. Not the worst delay in the world but not sure what the guardians will do.

Considering we have a day off tomorrow it will probably help us out vs having Martin out there

I'm not all for giving up on Colson but someone needs to look at his approach. 22 Ks in his last 37 ABs, only 4 walks says it is getting worse and not better.

Maybe try to drive the ball the opposite way. The first pitch he should look for a pitch in a small box and don't swing if it's not there.

Adam Sunn was considered the worst modern day player in terms of K % at about 35%. Colson is at 37% this year.

I just think this what Colson is and will be good enough when he is stringing together homers over the course of a week or two, and will look pretty awful the rest of the time.

Probably, and if so…trade him for pitching or outfield help

Took my now-wife to this doubleheader in June 2013 that was wet throughout, including a half hour rain delay between the games. Not including the rain delay, the combined near 8 hours of gametime made it the longest doubleheader in history (probably still stands?).

Shortly after they announced there would be no postgame fireworks because it had gotten too late at night, Addison Reed blew a 3-run lead, capped off with a go-ahead Nick Swisher HR by the bad guys. It's always nice to have a day at the ballpark but that Sox team along with mother nature did their best to try to make it miserable. IIRC a lady got smoked by a foul ball and had to be ambulanced out of there too...but maybe she was the lucky one.

any eta?

Colson has been a rally killer, striking out with RISP , primarily swinging at balls out of the zone, mainly high fastballs. Is he coachable? If not he needs to be moved down in the lineup, until he gets his act together. We need more contact hitters up in the lineup. IMO.

I should!? Says the one complaining about other posters not posting the way he wants.

Grichuk had a couple fastballs to hit and a hanging curve, but was very in between that at-bat.

He should not be hitting cleanup.

Organization reverted back to 2024 this week with some of these happenings

Going to fail to get these guys in. Just pathetic effort

We need more contact hitting in these situations, not trying to hit a homer all the time, particularly with 2 strikes.
