Another Braves game in St. Louis, another rain delay. It feels like a regular occurrence whenever these two teams clash under the Arch. Tonight's game is now stuck at 0-0 in the top of the fourth inning, all thanks to some wild weather.
Busch Stadium Turns into a Flood Zone
The St. Louis Cardinals themselves tweeted out that the game was in a delay due to rain in the area. But "rain" might be an understatement, folks. Within a short time, things got absolutely wild. IngramRadio dropped a pic, announcing, "Hoo boy. Welcome to Lake Busch," and honestly, "Lake Busch" is probably being generous. McNeil followed up with a shot that had the field looking like something out of a disaster movie, saying, "Never seen an MLB field as flooded as Busch Stadium right now." It was looking like a definite "that's it for tonight" situation, for real.Tarp Off! #BaseballAfterDark Lives!
Just when you thought it was over, baseball finds a way! Derrick Goold reported that the rain actually stopped. That grounds crew? They're facing a monumental task, no joke. But then, the update everyone was waiting for dropped: the tarp's off the field! Austin Gwin confirmed it: "the tarp is off the field. I repeat, we are tarps off." Looks like we're getting #BaseballAfterDark after all. Seriously, after seeing Busch Stadium look like an Olympic swimming pool, the fact that they're even attempting to finish this 0-0 nail-biter is wild. Get ready, baseball fans, because this one's going late.This article was created with AI assistance and reviewed by Seattle On Tap editorial staff.
