This rain delay gives us a chance to regroup.

So is this game over? how long could a rain delay be...

As long as it takes to stop raining. If it doesn't stop then the game will be restarted some other time, since the game did not reach 5 innings.

@Royals: We are anticipating another line of rain and lightning. We will post updates once available. #RoyalsWeather

Bullpen going to get a workout again

Can someone give me an official weather update from the Royals?

@McCulloughStar: The rain abated for a short while, but it has resumed again. The scoreboard advises there are more storms on the way.

Thanks. I feel like no one was being clear

Still confused on weather status

So this is what becomes of game thread followers during rain delays huh?

Read the where to beat off thread

We were so awesome just flowing over with excitement..:banghead:

@McCulloughStar: Heard there might be a window after 7. But, who knows. RT @Sandbox_22: they must be set on waiting it out?

After 7? Wonder what the players are doing right now.

Beating off at the nearest Chuck E Cheese, I'm guessing.

I could only imagine the inspirational words that Ned is passing on to his team right now

Moose and Hos are reminiscing about the " good ole days"

If they call the game a DH would be played tomorrow and neither team would be able to have a 26th player b/c the DH would be played within 24 hrs of being scheduled.

If they want to play this game in about 2-3 hours or so, they can, it's just weird that they're waiting that long. Usually, they'd call it.

I figured they would play later tonight....with it being a 1:00 start time they are afforded the time to wait it out.

The rain is all gonna stop in about an hour.

I'm just watching some glorious Boys in the Hall action.

Angels don't come back this year. THey're gonna get it in tonight

@McCulloughStar: The rain delay has now passed the three-hour mark.

If its not a getaway day, and it starts at 1pm, and its pretty much a guarantee that they'll eventually get it in, then they'll wait it out. What else do they have to do on a Saturday night?

BREAKING NEWS HOT OFF THE PRESS
@pgrathoff: Whew. Daniel Rockett's single with two outs in the second ends hitless streak at 22 1/3 innings for Wilmington, the Royals' affiliate

@McCulloughStar: The game will officially resume at 6:30, the team says.

Most people will have left, it's very strange looking when there is nobody there to watch!

Wow. Was at the stadium today. Came home, took a long nap and still no game.

I'd rather be watching 3 stooges

Stooges

This is the same rain & storm we had this morning around 6am.

I don't understand why they waited so long to resume the game. I was at the stadium and there was at least an hour or more period where there was no rain or lightning or anything. They could have easily resumed the game and got through the 5th or maybe even the 6th inning to make it an official game before the next round of rain showed up.

If there is a better chance to get the whole game in later, they will always take that option instead of a short game under the rules.

I didn't want a short game decided on a a rain out. Give our boys a chance to regroup and come back for the win.

Yep

@JoshVernier610: "Ned pulled Yordano too early!" #PostGameCallPrediction

Crafty lefty

Bruce Chen so sexy

HAHA POOHOLES

Eating?

Good 1 2 3 inning Mr Chen!

Belly has burped.

Not very many fans decided to stay.

Good thing we left Maxwell in....

Dyson > Maxwell

Canya blame them?

Hard to sit around like bump on a log for so long!

We have to figure out this Morin kid faster than they figure out Chen.

Another first pitch bitch! (It's like, "I just wanna go sit down!!)

Maxwell is just terrible

Has he even singled since he has been called back up?

No idea. Maybe the Manager might have something going on in the BULLPEN?

Come on ump!

They are not going to do that. It takes a long time to get the field ready and the second wave could soak the field before they can tarp it. If they know for sure that they'll eventually get the game in and the window is just maybe 1 inning, they won't bother.

Come Bruce,throw strikes!

Need a K then DP

shows him with two hits in the last seven days and no extra base hits so i would assume those two are singles lol.

Why wasn't Valencia covering 3rd?
WTF

WTF, Valencia??? Wake your ass up!

alright, game over

really wish this game would have been rained out.

Dammit Valencia! Cover the damn bag!

Oh yeah, a single after the double steal, 2 runs!:banghead::banghead::banghead:

Yep......just didn't have a good feel about it.

If Moose ever did that shit he wouldn't hear the end of it

I think Chen may be done. If we're going to have somebody get hammered, lets bring up a youngster and let them learn during garbage time. Chen costs too much to eat up meaningless innings. Dump him, get him off the payroll asap.

BTW: That guy stole that base on Chen. He's slow to the plate.

That was a real **** it What the hell Who gives a shit move putting chen in

Figures Detroit won today......:banghead:

Kinsler hits a 3 run dinger to win.

3 stolen bases on Chen in one inning. that's unacceptable.

God hates the Royals. Tigers will win 6 out of 7 from here on out until we're out of the picture.

And Salvy drops the ball at home.

Run up the white flag, Ned.

Are you a ****ing idiot?
My god. You can't put Ventura in after a 4 ****ing hour rain delay. You can't burn up your entire bullpen, you need to eat innings.


Maybe Ned should have put in Vargas?

Your hindsight is 20/20

:thumb: :deevee:

Maybe thats why we're losing 5-0 with 3 stolen bases since the change

I guess we can see why Chen hasn't pitched since being activated

Alex had him at the plate.....

The competitive edge of this team is as sharp as a butter knife. I mean they really lack any kind of fight a lot of times.

So who would you have put in?
