while noting that since Wednesday, the trend of the forecast for Sunday has only changed in calling for even more rain during the scheduled game time.

DongCast* for Friday Evening .....*now with hygrothermal data!

View attachment 732976
I don't have a [temperature+humidity] equation for estimating the hygrothermal effects on a baseball, but supposedly every 10° increase in temperature adds 3 feet to the flight of the ball. So now that we're above 80° I'm gonna extend the DongCast to include humidity. 🤔 (Something about that sentence doesn't sound right...)

And, as everyone knows, LNS is notoriously warmer and more humid than other stadiums!

Big fan of the hydrothermal data. Just need another column for barometric pressure! 😀🍊🍊👍👍👊👊😀🍊🍊🍊

Hmmmm. LNS actually might be more humid with the Tennessee River is such close proximity….

For the non-initiated….warm air and humid air is less dense than cold air with low humidity.
Thus, hot and humid means a launching pad!

NWS Morristown has likely released their most recent forecast. Typically after 3pmET….

Here’s their latest. I’m betting on two 9 inning games on Sat.
Sunday
Showers and thunderstorms likely before 10am, then showers between 10am and 11am, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 11am. High near 71. Southwest wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%.

I've always heard that about the density of warm humid air which is true. However, water vapor can (for lack of a better term) clump and thus make the air heavier IF the humidity is high enough for the moisture to condense (fog). I'd rather hit a ball in dry air than through fog. At what point does friction with fog overcome the density? Also, the ball will attract water and become somewhat heavier and deader.

Just for my own curiosity (and to put off onerous tasks)...

Average humidity for April
73% - Knoxville
75% - Starkville
76% - Baton Rouge
87% - Gainesville (Florida fans aren't really crazy, their brains are just busy treading water.)

Good points. Thus the Dew Point data in the DongCast, but also why we'd need quite an elaborate equation to provide anything "objective" pertinent to home run potential.

And since the ball loses elasticity (bounce) as it absorbs humidity, where does CTV keep all the game balls?
...like, maybe in a waterproof black bag resting in the sun? 💡

maybe Kirby's job is to keep the game balls in dongtastic condition

Depends on what you’re calling small ball. We’ve bunted and advanced runners more this year than in the last 3 years combined. With Abernathy and a couple of other good bunters, I can see us using it the rest of the year on an as needed basis. This team is the most diversified team of the Vitello era, in my opinion.

Good post. I think this team is very much diversified and can win in a lot of different ways

I would subscribe to Big Orange DongCast just to wait for the first discussion at home about what on Earth just showed up on my statement.

HAHAHA! Twice today!

We've got you covered. Check the box that says "married" and your statement will say "Fishing Equipment" and give a Vietmanese* address.

*If you're from Tennessee in the '60s, you'll recognize that's not a typo.
