Do they have a tarp covering outfield too? Seems like a long-shot to play…
The field will drain once the rain stops. The question is when will the rain (and/or lightning) stop.
The game is scheduled for linear television so we can't call it early without the league giving us the OK, and, frankly, we don't want to call it for competitive reason (stressing our bullpen with a doubleheader) and logistical reasons (compounding the parking and traffic nightmare that will be Saturday night in CS).
We have to start before 10 or it will be pushed to Saturday. We may cut it a bit close, but I'm thinking we will get it in tonight.
