5/1 Cubs (Lilly) at Pitt (Armas) resumes 5/2 at 11:30 am CT

[Brian]

please don't suck bullpen.

[seanimal]

Radio broadcast resumes at 10:20 now.

[Chocolate Milk]

Intermission coming to an end?

[CubColtPacer]

My guess is the rain delay makes it even more likely that Pie, Blanco, and Theriot get the start tomorrow.

[CubmanPi]

Intermission coming to an end?

I hope so, the Anderson Archives make for some pretty dull radio.

[cheapseats]

Game isn't resuming anytime soon.

[Bixby]

Its gonna be awhile if they resume at all - Pittsburgh TV broadcast.

Yes it is. Len doesn't lie.

why, has the rain started again?

[satxcubfan]

Grounds crew is squeegeeing off the field, position players are warming up, but pitchers are not.

[Soriano12]

This game should have been called. Whatta joke.

[98navigator]

This game should have been called. Whatta joke.

 

It can't be called

Lightly raining... men with suits and cell phones on the field talking with the umpires.

 

Field reporter says they want to atleast finish the 7th inning tonight. I wouldn't be too happy with that scenario if I were a Pirate fan. But I'm not.

[satxcubfan]

They want to at least get through the bottom of the 7th tonight according to the Pitt broadcast.

[seanimal]

Pat says the game should start, crew preparing the field, delay at about 2 hrs 10 min thus far.

[PrimeTime]

So if they get through the 7th and score none and the game gets called again do we win?

[cheapseats]

Pitt announcers are talking about eating carpet ?!?

[Brian]

so if they finish the 7th and they don't score (or take the lead) then it's an official game?

[Lockes Eye Scar]

So if they get through the 7th and score none and the game gets called again do we win?

 

yah

[Brian]

Pitt announcers are talking about eating carpet ?!?

 

:shock:

[satxcubfan]

So if they get through the 7th and score none and the game gets called again do we win?

 

Yep

[seanimal]

This game should have been called. Whatta joke.

 

It can't be called

 

I can't say I'm a fan of this rule, but then again, I can't really decide what I would think if the situation was reversed.

 

I generally operate under the assumption that baseball doesn't need any new rules.

[seanimal]

Pitt announcers are talking about eating carpet ?!?

 

Wha?

[CubmanPi]

so if they finish the 7th and they don't score (or take the lead) then it's an official game?

The way the rules quoted earlier looked, if Pitt doesn't score in the 7th, and the game goes into the 8th and the Cubs don't score again, and a rain delay comes in middle of the 8th, a called game would be an official game.
