caulfield12 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) http://www.weather.com/maps/geography/midw...ndex_large.html Looks like they should be able to play eventually...there's a band of rain all the way across Michigan, but hopefully it will clear out in the next six hours...then there's a "window" to the west. The game might be delayed an hour or two, but they should be able to get it in eventually. Not too crazy about Contreras pitching in these conditions, though. Obviously it affected Floyd quite a bit. It's no surprise both teams moved back Porcello and Danks, you don't want your best pitchers subjected to those type of conditions if you can prevent it, and it makes sense for Guillen to break up Contreras/Colon at the back of the rotation with another pitcher, especially since Colon and Contreras are throwing at almost the same exact speed with their FB's.

Steve9347 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Yeah, I'd expect a 2 or 3 start. http://www.weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/...pnav_undeclared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Danks was pushed back as he can control the Days running game a bit better than Contreras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I heard on the Score last night, the Count today and Danks tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Looks like the rain has completely cleared out of the state of Michigan. Should get started on time from the looks of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
