Time to clinch another series!

Whoops. Had my days mixed up. They're traveling to Colorado tonight, which is a longer flight. Was thinking they were off tomorrow rather than Thursday.

That's less ideal. If the game is delayed a few hours and ends at midnight, they're not wheels up until about 1:30 AM at the earliest. Arrive in Denver around 3:30 local time (picking up an hour). Probably not at the hotel and ready to go until 4:30, best case.

I'm seeing 30 percent chance at 7, 25 percent at 8, and 10 percent at 9. They'll get this one in. especially with it being such a short flight from Minneapolis to KC.

We've got a pretty favorable matchup tonight, and even if the makeup game was in KC, this team has played better on the road this season.

Plus, I selfishly don't want a night without Royals baseball.

KCrockaholic · 08-18-2014, 04:36 PM

So it looks like they'll try to play it?

These days the off days are a disappointment huh?

My MLB Network shows "Cincinnati at St. Louis; or Kansas City at Minnesota" for 7 pm. So some people may be getting the Royals on MLBN,

The Royals batting practice just got banged. They are rolling the tarp on the field.

Vernier just said on 610 that it's supposed to start pouring for about an hour or so. After that there should be a bit of a window to try and fit it in.
Only mutual off day left with Twins is September 18th, which is in the middle of a Royals homestand. Vern said the game could possibly be made up at the very end of the season.

If its only going to rain for an hour, why would it be made up?

Initially it's supposed to only rain for an hour or so, not sure how big or small the window is.

**Dartgod** · 08-18-2014, 05:14 PM

If this gets rained out, I blame Bruiser.

bsroyals54 · 08-18-2014, 05:32 PM

Vargas OWNS the Twins, 3 games 0.86 ERA

**PHOG** · 08-18-2014, 06:02 PM

No rain.
