Braves rain delay vs. Padres

Braves rain delay vs. Padres

The Atlanta Braves offense couldn’t get much going against the Padres Friday night as Matt Waldron’s knuckleball proved elusive. With Austin Riley out of the lineup again Saturday as well as Travis d’Arnaud, it’s up to Bryce Elder to try and get the Braves back on track with Yu Darvish on the mound for San Diego. Unfortunately the weather had other plans as we are in a rain delay.

This article will be updated as more information becomes available, but it’s difficult.

Anyone who lives in metro Atlanta and also has windows knows that the weather coming in from the west isn’t ideal for anything. There is a strong line of thunderstorms with heavy rain making things difficult.

However, a quick and very unexpert look at the radar forecast shows that the line is moving quite quickly from west to east and with the Braves’ other postponements from earlier in the season and the fact that it is undesirable that Sunday or a double program instead of a one-day getaway. , they will definitely do their best to integrate this game.

The biggest question is whether this system dumps so much rain that the outfield becomes unplayable. However, we believe they will start the game and try to get it in even if fans have to wait a while for it to start. Be sure to continue to refresh this page with updates, including if they ultimately decide to call the game and try again tomorrow or later in the season. Mother Nature prevents us from having fun.
