Every time I look at the future radar it looks worse. I have no idea if MLB has gone back to the pre-Covid rules regarding "official games" having to go 5 innings to be restarted, instead of replayed from the start, if they are unable to be completed that day.
Get him back to DH before he hurts himself. Any chance he can move to first base at some point in the future? Just don't need that big guy running into walls.
Everything I have read says they are still on the "suspended" game as opposed to the "cancel everything and start over" game
What are the rules on cancellation vs suspension of the game if it can't be played tonight. I know it's not a complete game until 5 Innings are completed. But the other two options are fuzzy.
I couldn't find anything that said otherwise, so it really doesn't matter if they can play some more tonight or not. They'll either try a quasi-DH tomorrow or finish it at another date. Not anymore, unless they've gone back to the pre-2020 rules. Which we can't find any evidence of MLB doing. From mlb.com: A game is considered a regulation game -- also known as an "official game" -- once the visiting team has made 15 outs (five innings) and the home team is leading, or once the home team has made 15 outs regardless of score. Prior to the 2020 season, if a game was terminated early due to weather before becoming official, the results up to the point of the termination did not count and the game was started over at a later date. But as part of MLB's health and safety protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic, all games cut short due to weather before becoming official were resumed at a later date, rather than started over from scratch, during the 2020 campaign.
I always thought that was a really stupid rule. It forced umpires to wait forever in case a team had a big lead, and then if they did resume and get passed 5 inning and it started raining again, the umpires felt obliged to wait a long time to give the other team a chance to come back.
