Kevin Kiermaier totally called that the Orioles-Rays game would be rained out
With rain and thunderstorms hitting Florida on Saturday afternoon, a number of Grapefruit League games were cancelled, cut short or delayed, including the Orioles-Rays matchup in Port Charlotte, Fla.
Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier predicted as much a couple of hours before first pitch:
The Gold Glove Award winner kept Rays fans abreast of the developing weather situation all morning, sending out some true service tweets:
As he said, he did take a meteorology course in college.
And so, with the game officially cancelled, you have to admit -- he totally called it. Even his teammates gave him credit:
Not that Kiermaier's penchant for weather should be a surprise to anyone -- it wouldn't be the first time his interests aligned with Mike Trout's, whether that be weather forecasting or home run robbing.
