Another reason Andrew Abbott is one of the true leaders inside the Reds clubhouse - no excuses afterward, and a very rational explanation of pitching in the elements.

Rain delay, 1 hour, 46 minutes

[Mike Petraglia @Trags]

Going back over tape from Saturday Dexter Lawrence had quite the move on Ted Karras. This is what Karras was talking about when saying “better bring your f-ing shit” Ja’Sir Taylor with the near pick on a rushed Joe Burrow pass

Reds-Pirates will resume at about 10:05 pm ET.

[Mike Petraglia @Trags]

Tarp is coming on before the Reds bat in the sixth.

Jose Trevino sets off a different kind of siren. HR to right and it's 3-1 Bucs none out in 5th with rain pouring down.

[Mike Petraglia @Trags]

43 of Abbott's 98 pitches tonight in one inning, the 3-run third.

[Mike Petraglia @Trags]

Another surreal part of this night, the game is being played with Tornado sirens audible, going off in Northern Kentucky.

[Mike Petraglia @Trags]

Sal Stewart gets drilled by a 97 mph two-seamer on the left elbow (pad on) and Stewart slams bat and pad to the ground. Stewart seen by trainer Sean McQueeney and stays in game.

[Mike Petraglia @Trags]

Now the umpires almost certainly have to let the Pirates and Ashcraft deal with the same terrible conditions for the bottom of the third.

[Mike Petraglia @Trags]

Abbott minimizes the damage to three runs. Can't imagine him taking the mound for the 4th.

[Mike Petraglia @Trags]

@SWINGNMISS7 It wasn't this bad when Ashcraft was on the mound last inning.

[Mike Petraglia @Trags]

Abbott is slipping on the mound AFTER they put DiamondDry down on the mound. These are pretty awful conditions to be playing a MLB game in

[Mike Petraglia @Trags]

@JohnSchoborg He'd forfeit the game but point would be made.

[Mike Petraglia @Trags]

Wonder if Francona is thinking of pulling Abbott, who slipped three times in six pitches there. Two bases loaded walks. McCambley now warming in Reds pen. 2-0 Bucs.

[Mike Petraglia @Trags]

The umpiring crew can plainly see Abbott struggling with his footing.

[Mike Petraglia @Trags]

They're playing in a monsoon trying to get this in. When it rains, it pours.

[Mike Petraglia @Trags]

Just as Andrew Abbott took the mound a downpour started. But they are pushing ahead with the start of this game.
