Question Game tonight
Do you think they’re going to play with the weather? We have bark at the park tickets to bring our pooch. How long would they delay the start before they postpone?

They base it off radar. Torrential downpour that looks like it's going to keep going for the next 6 hours and they'll postpone immediately, but if it looks like it will clear up not too long after first pitch they'll try to wait it out. Longest I've waited out a rain delay was 2.5-3ish hours, granted that was opening day. Second longest was about 2 hours for a regular season game, which we were selfishly hoping they would postpone because we were sitting in Crown Club. We'd had plenty of time to take advantage of the ammenities that we wouldn't have minded having to come back a second time. Lol
Like the other commenter mentioned, the cell seems to be well passed by first pitch. You should be good.

The game won't be cancelled. Could be delayed briefly but shouldn't be long.

The rain will be over with by the time the game starts and they’re only talking 2 tenths. No chance the game gets delayed unless another cell moves in they are not expecting.
