I believe the aforementioned Orioles game was suspended for that very same reason. The Yankees scored a bunch of runs to take the lead right before the delay. The rule demands that the Orioles get their at bats in the same inning, so MLB suspended the game.

So confusing.

I swear the Yanks were down a run going into the delay, but they had a runner on base, so maybe if the tying run is at the plate or on base or something, maybe that's a difference.

Or because it's the Yankees.

I was actually at the game where they "finished" it a month later. My recollection was that it was the Yankees scoring a bunch of runs in the top half, which gave them the lead. They didn't call it because they wanted to be fair to the Orioles by giving them a chance to respond in the bottom half.

Didn't they score the runs during the make-up, though?

Hopefully it doesn't rain tomorrow.

I think I know less about the rain delay rules now than I did yesterday.

Not the go ahead runs. They might have scored more runs afterwards, but those wouldn't matter.

It confused the hell out me at first, but after thinking on it for awhile it made sense. It just doesn't happen very often because there's a bunch of conditions that need to be met for the game to be suspended.

 

As far as I know, that Orioles-Yankees game is the only time they suspended a rained out game where it hasn't been a tie.

I just got to new york so i couldn't watch the game. Checked on my phone and it was 1-1 bottom 6. Then I check again and see that josh crumbled.

 

Then I also read the tweets about how many we've left on base. Oh look!! Hanley struck out with runners on 1st and 2nd and 1 out.

 

Only the marlins can consistently get a lead off triple and not score. Happens to all teams but with marlins it becomes routine.

I just got to new york

 

 

Hop on the F-train and head to Spumoni Gardens in Brooklyn. Have a square slice there and thank me later.

I will perhaps check this out good sir.

I come home from work only to find Delay of F***ery

Chicago is under a thunderstorm warning until 2:00AM. At this point it's probably safe to say the game is over. Good night.

I think

Game over.

Win the series?
