Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 07:26 PM) So does that mean Baltimore's fans won't be allowed in the stadium until 1st game concludes? Don't think that will be a problem. The O's are having trouble drawing more than 12,000 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSoxMatt Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 07:45 PM) Wow, I don't think I've ever actually seen this happen, where the two teams will start at a later date and (possibly) only play one inning for an official game. EDIT: I've heard of it, though. I think it happened to the Cubs last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 "The field was really messed up. It was pretty tough, but the grounds crew did a really nice job," said Ramon Hernandez, who gave the Orioles a 3-2 lead in the top of the 11th with a homer off Scott Linebrink. "I don't think the game should have been started. It was really cold and rainy. The field was wet. You never could warm up. After 11 innings, why are you stopping the game now?" he said. "Just let us finish like that. It doesn't matter now. The field was that bad since the seventh inning. It was raining the whole game. That's when you should have stopped it, from the beginning." I agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjshoe04 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 07:25 PM) Game should have been called after the 8th with all the water coming down and already on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 It's a new rule they put in last year. And it's a horrible rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree. And I forget how they handle the rosters. Obviously both rosters will look at least somewhat different by then. I am pretty sure we can only use players who we have on our roster right now. And obviously some players who played today may be gone, so that could leave us short.

WilliamTell Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 07:13 PM) Aw hell, do I keep counting this game in the tally I've got going below or not? I'd say count it, the game went 12 innings. Then you don't have to count the makeup portion of the game, unless it goes another 6 innings or more. They better get this game in, we don't quit at 12 innings like the All-Star Game in Milwaukee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChWRoCk2 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 So I'm guessing we don't finish this game till we play the Orioles next which is in August in Camden Yards. Correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In years’ past, Monday’s contest would have been declared a tie and replayed in its entirety. However, Major League Baseball recently amended the rule, determining that official games called with the score tied would be resumed at the point of interruption.

I'd rather that they just called it a tie. The MLB season is already way too long. Why add a 163rd game and put more wear and tear on these guys?

I know they've done it before and I assumed this would be a good situation for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they've done it before and I assumed this would be a good situation for that. Yeah, that's what would've happened. My problem with that is that teams that have to re-play games tend to be the teams that are in contention in September. And adding an extra game to that team's schedule going into the playoffs puts them at a disadvantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Is playing an extra 2 innings before a regularly scheduled game in late August really going to hurt the Sox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
