[Official Astros @ Twins

Wouldn't say that to Vlad Sr

 

Most of what I'm reading references other rules I can't find. Completely erasing a game in which one team has a lead would be the WORST rule in baseball.

I think completing a suspended game immediately prior to the next scheduled single game is what would happen. But the RULEs should not be as complex as they are.

Note - Tomorrow is the last scheduled game in Minnesota between the two teams. The rules I was reading (which may not reflect the current rules) indicate the game is shifted to before the next game at the opponents home in this situation. But they are doing crazy scheduling this year.

I would definitely have different answers to (could he) and (will he). He has always gone off with unbelievable streaks during a year. That just seems to be the ALTUVE way.

 

Looks like the game will resume and not restart.

 

I always hated them more than the other 4 combined.

That was the exact rule in baseball prior to 2020

 

I kind of was hoping to see how far an Alvarez homer would go with a 70 mph wind behind it.

 

So officially suspended for the night?

 

Not yet.

The tarp crew had a little fun earlier:

 

That was a horrible rule.

 

It made sense back in the day, but not so much in modern times.

I figured you'd relate to that.

 

So Brooks Raley for the save against the Angels. What could go wrong?

 

He's been great for Tampa so far this season.

eta...and he closes it out. Never a doubt.

 

Sucks to squander all those pitches we put on Archer.

 

Angels LOSE!

 

and wait.

 

They'd already replaced him but they didn't start the 4th.

And... considering they scored 5 runs in 3 innings, I wouldn't say those pitches were wasted.
