Tonight's game vs. the Pirates has been postponed and will be made up tomorrow as part of a straight doubleheader.

Game 1 will start at 4:05 ET with Game 2 starting 30 minutes after the completion of the first game.

Pitching assignments for Wednesday's doubleheader delight at PNC are unchanged: Jordan Zimmermann gets the 4:05 game. Matthew Boyd will start the 2nd game.

7th postponed game for the Tigers already this season and it's just April 24th. Pretty crazy.

ST is a bit long. If they're not sure about some ml players, send them to AAA for a couple weeks to see if they're worth bringing up. And go back to 154 game season. After the play in game. 1st round back to best of 3, 2nd round best of 5. ST starts in April and go from there.

How far is Pittsburgh from Philly because the Philly game played despite the rain..

300 miles. Weather fronts typically move at a rate of 10-15 MPH. Since Philly is 300 miles east of Pittsburg, and most weather fronts move from west to east, it's likely that the weather in Pittsburg is very different than Philly.

Thanks. I was talking with my mom and the way she explained it to me it was monsoon season in Philly. We don't call her 50% rule for nothing.. she's half right.

Leonys with a leadoff HR. He has been a plesant surprise.

 

[tomdalton22]

in other news...JV has a one hitter vs. LAA through 6 2/3. 9K and no walks.

2 hitter...Pujols just went yard.

IMO at this point you have to just cut Zimmermann and eat it. the dude is terrible. by far one of the worst Tiger signings ever!
