GDT 8/21/18 Philadelphia Phillies (Velasquez) @ Washington Nationals (Roark)

[andyb]

Still drizzling here but looks like the worst has passed and there should be a window between the rain to start up again.

[zambonir]

Even w/o Murphy I am still concerned about the bullpen in this series. Morgan the only lefty and the others can't be called up. I guess guys like Ramos and Neshek and even Neris are better than mediocre LOOGYs though (which is what Loup appears to be).

[Patchmk88]

I hope they don’t start with more rain coming and then call it after 5 innings. Would rather them postpone the game.

[donaldorc]

I hope they don’t start with more rain coming and then call it after 5 innings.

I can't remember the last time this has happened. A very rare occurrence these days.

[andyb]

I think they have a 2-3 hour window once it stops. There is a pretty big clear spot on the radar.

Just going to be a game where they go to the bullpen in the 3rd and hope for the best. I like that better than a DH tomorrow though I guess they would start from scratch since the game is not official or tied yet.

[Patchmk88]

Been watching the Braves game. Swanson has a 2 run HR and they are up 2-0. Pirates had bases loaded in the bottom of the 6 but got nothing.

[EastFallowfield]

As last hitter grounded up the middle into a shift

[EastFallowfield]

935 restart

[Patchmk88]

Well Braves game is now basically over. Braves up 5-0 after another 2 run HR from Swanson
