Rainy conditions are absolutely hammering Progressive Field right now, putting a serious damper on the lead-up to Game 4 of the ALCS between the Cleveland Guardians and the Tampa Bay Rays tonight. We’re talking puddles, people, actual puddles forming on the warning track before a crucial playoff game.
The Field Looks Like a Bathtub
The conditions are just gnarly out there. We’re not talking about a little sprinkle either; it’s prevalent rainy conditions making a real mess of the field. So much rain, in fact, that there are actual puddles sitting on the warning track at Progressive Field. For an ALCS Game 4, that’s not what anyone wants to see heading into first pitch.
Forecast Isn’t Exactly Clearing Up
And it’s not looking like it’ll clear up super fast either. Game 4 is set for an 8 p.m. ET start, but according to The Weather Channel, there’s a 54 percent chance of rain right at first pitch. Doesn’t get much better an hour later, with a 40 percent chance of rain still hanging around at 9 p.m. ET. So we could be looking at a wet one for a while tonight.
As we get closer to that 8 p.m. ET first pitch, everyone’s got their eyes on the sky. Will the rain let up, or are we in for a soggy, unpredictable ALCS Game 4? It’s going to be wild to see how this plays out with the elements thrown into the mix.
