Going to be interesting if there is an issue with tomorrow's game as well. Should be okay with the 8 pm start but you never know.

This sucks. Not one, but now potentially two 4:00 games.

How are late afternoon sun angles / shadow lines at Kaufman Stadium? Too often they can become a factor in 4:00 start games. Wonder what they do if the rain doesn't stop early enough tomorrow to give the field time to drain? Push the game back to 8:00 PM or push it back another day to Wednesday?

Tuesday's game is already scheduled at 8

Not ideal. So cold favors who?

Now for the bad news: It won?t be played in optimum baseball conditions. It?s expected to be windy and cold. The local TV weatherwoman just said 53 degrees is the expected temperature at first pitch. And it will drop from there. And the fierce wind should continue. The flags around here are in a steady wave. But there is no rain in the forecast.

Tonight should be the chilliest of the three games to be played here (including Game 5, if necessary). The other two will start a few minutes after 4 p.m. central time.

The cold didn't bother us in Detroit.
