Post-rain delay thread: Cubs vs Astros, Monday 8/4, 6:05 CT

Here's a fresh new thread for anyone that's still awake for the ballgame tonight.  Hopefully we can hit the new pitcher throwing for the 'Stros and gain a full game on the Brew Crew, who lost 3-6 tonight to the Reds.  The Cards were idle tonight.

Why is the game not on wciu right now, isn't it about to resume

Honestly, the man is a f-ing idiot.

But he WAS GM when guys like Wright & Reyes were being developed and brought into the system. I do not know how this is possible. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut.

yep shanghai badger is correct

Water or H2O has a molar mass of 18g/mol whereas air which is mainly composed of nitrogen 28 g/mol and oxygen which is 32 g/mol. More humidity just means that the water fraction in the air is higher which makes the air less dense because it has less mass than nitrogen and oxygen. It really wouldn’t matter that much though, as the composition of air is about 78% nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, and about 1 % water vapor. The water vapor change wouldn’t make that much of an impact.

Humidity in the air increases the viscous force on a ball...that damped the HR.

If it wasn’t raining, it would have gone over the wall.
