What a downer. I’ve seen worse weather at a ballgame… And we got that one in!
Kip Wells looked good, as has been his custom lately. Too bad we had to lose him for a turn in the rotation. Wells has been better against Florida than he has against Atlanta, so I considered whether Tony might flip-flop Reyes and Wells—starting Wells on short rest and giving Reyes an extra day of rest. That would be a bad idea, though. Reyes has made one start against the Braves and was pounded. No sense in trying to outsmart yourself here.
I’m guessing they’ll schedule the makeup date for tonight’s game for October 1st if there are playoff consequences that would necessitate an outcome. This series will be a loss, but we can take comfort in that runs were scored in only two of the twenty innings pitched against the Cubs so far (18 of them official).
