call the game

 

after this half inning

 

I'd rather it happen now, but if you say so

 

don't they have to play the bottom half to make it official?

 

I thought it was just 5 complete innings for an official game?

 

Yes, but if losing, doesn't the home team need one last AB?

Yes, I believe we can actually lose now if they call it. Since they can expunge our last half inning.

 

that can't be right. sarcasm?

[Brian]

Wow, if the rally gets thrown out that would be a new way to lose.

[Flames24Rulz]

Uh, I'm almost positive you guys are wrong. If this game gets called, we win.

 

Yeah, that's what I thought as well.

I think this is exactly the situation that they altered in the rules over the winter. Isn't this where they would suspend the game and restart from this point tomorrow before the 2nd game?

[Soul]

Holy #@$%#$ crap, if they revert back and take Cub runs off the board I'm going to freak out. That's completely freaking BS crap!!!

[Rob]

Since we took the lead in the top half of the inning and they pirates haven't had a chance to come back, I'm 90% certain it would be a suspended game that they'd have to finish up later.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

so if they dont finish this inning does that mean it goes back to what it was after 6 inn.?

Yep. Cubs luck baby.

 

yea cuz i remember we had a game in hs with the bases loaded and we had tied it but since it wasnt official it went back to the sixth inn. and we lost i mean that is just hs but i think those rules are true throughout all levels of baseball

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Uh, I'm almost positive you guys are wrong. If this game gets called, we win.

 

No chance, doesn't work that way. You can't count the Cubs' 7th if the Pirates haven't had a full seventh

I'd be ok with that.

Oh I just know it was the case a couple years ago. I remember Stoney and Chip talking about it.

Could hang around for a while: http://www.weather.com/weather/map/15222?name=index_large_animated&day=1&from=36hr_svrWatch_golf

 

It actually looks like it's moving fairly fast. I'm optimistic that they'll get the game in.

[98navigator]

Uh, I'm almost positive you guys are wrong. If this game gets called, we win.

 

I think they changed the rule this year and the game would be suspended until tomorrow. At least that's what I'm hoping...

I wouldn't think they'd just erase the last half inning, in fact I've never heard of that before. I don't think that's right. But does anyone know for certain?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That definitely used to be the rule. They may have changed it this year, I think I recall that...

I'm gonna head down to Iowa and set Gooz straight.

He'll be headed to Chicago after tonight, that's the plan at least.

Dang. I'm not with it tonight. I was about to ask what's so bad about 3 runs in 7 innings. :oops:

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Angel Guzman gives up 4 more runs in the 3rd.

 

Seriously?

 

Ech. My hopes of trading Z are fading fast...

 

I don't understand that kid. WTF Angel, you can dominate if you just figure out how good you can be.

 

I'm hoping it's just a AAA letdown. He's pitched better against Major Leaguers

 

He's been working on specific things at AAA - sliders and FBs to the outside corner. He's struggled with his command and control doing these things in 2 of his 3 starts at AAA.

[bcruise]

Sure thing.. I'll just sit back and watch Braden Looper shut out the Brewers. :evil:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

True. They can't take the Cubs runs off the board, but since those runs scored in an inning in which the Pirates haven't completed their at bats, it would be a suspended game.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

well either way i mean they would pry try to wait as long as possible to finish because it was comin down hard while the cubs batted and they waited it out and the cubs took the lead so that would be bs to have it revert to the sixth, but its nice to hear you guys think they changed it...which i thought i heard len explain early in the game

He can't possibly keep this up, can he? What's the most innings he's thrown in one season in his career?

Yeah, I think the Marlins and someone made up the last few innings of a game the next day earlier in the year.

[Rusch33]

Hoping to see Brad Nelson up with the Brewers one of these days..

 

Yes, I know it's a random thought.

 

Watched the guy play in HS; absolute monster in HS. He's from Bishop Garrigan (Algona, Iowa).
