Tuesday MLB weather report

[dave nz]

A few bad forecasts today. The worst of which is the game at the CWS, they may have trouble getting this in. Also to a lessor extent the game at the Brewers is not a great forecast. The Twins game a minor concern too.

Thanks for the info bro

Yeah, Dave, I was looking at the hour-by-hour forcast in Milwaukee. 70-80% chance of heavy rain during the scheduled game time. I doubt they get that one in.

Milwaukee's Miller Park has a retractable roof, fwiw.

You sure about that? I didn't think it did

He's right. Don't know why I forgot that.

From the Brewer website:

Undoubtedly, Miller Park's most unique feature is the roof. The only fan-shaped convertible roof in North America guarantees perfect conditions for every game. The 12,000-ton, seven-panel roof opens and closes almost silently in just 10 minutes.

Three panels, each as big as the roof over the Bradley Center in downtown Milwaukee, move over a fixed panel on the third base side. Two more panels move over a fixed panel on the first base side. The roof panels pivot on a fixed point behind home plate, and are each powered by a 60-horsepower engine, or "bogey," that moves along a semi-circular rail system, or "track beam," about 150-feet above the exterior outfield wall.

Inside, the roof reaches 200 feet above the playing field. Outside, the highest arch towers 30 stories, the newest fixture in Milwaukee's skyline.

Been raining pretty steadily most of the day here in Minneapolis.

Think it's still a question mark if they get this one in tonight
