It seems there was a lot of confusion about that second delay and then postponement and they had Strider throw a lot of extra pitches to keep warm because they thought there was a chance the game would start.
They alluded that the Tigers were also upset with how the delays were handled.
Is that true?

I have no idea what went down but as part of the unwashed masses just trying to watch the game, I saw that they were all warming up around 7:30 / 7:45 so the expectation was that the tarps had been pulled and the game would be starting at some point (was a 6:40 original start time I believe).
