Guthrie on the mound. Lets get the brooms out

Bad Mojo here, but I think I'm 0-4 in gamethreads for a sweep over the last 2 years. But I need to get the first loss of the year out of the way

It's pretty rediculous that you'd only have a couple outs before an official game and you won't wait it out to make it official.

well, they needed 6 more outs. I'm sure we would have gone up there hacking in the bottom of the 4th to hurry things up.

You mean the lineup had got to Frenchy/Moose/Getz?

Unless we can get a waiver from the player's union, we'll probably end up losing a home game and have to make it up in Tampa Bay. We'll have 80 home games, and they'll get to have 82.

If I were the Royals I'd refuse to play the game on the road if that's what mlb suggests doing. In years past it didn't make a difference, but if we're competing for anything we should absolutely refuse to play a home game on the road. That crap never happens to Boston or New York.

Yeah, it came from somewhere above, why?

So like 15 minutes. It's just silly that they'd call a game where they have less than 30 minutes to go to make it official. If Tampa ties it, then sure, go ahead and call it, but a team had a lead and you're literally minutes away from making it official just seems like you should go ahead an try and get it in.

I was at the game. The field was completely unplayable when the umpires finally decided to call for the tarp. I want the Royals to win as much as anyone, but it would have been a travesty to force the game to continue just to try to get one more inning in to make it official. If the Royals had been BEHIND 1-0 instead of ahead, we'd be screaming about the unfairness of it.

Simplest makeup would be Monday, June 3rd. Rays and Royals both have an off day. Royals are coming off a trip @Rangers and set up to host the Twins. The Rays are finishing a trip in Cleveland and headed to Detroit. Keep the game in KC...make it happen MLB.

**Old Dog** · 05-02-2013, 04:04 PM

In which case the Royals would play 32 days in a row

P-90Rex · 05-02-2013, 04:06 PM

I have no issue with that

It violates the CBA. We'd need a waiver from the player's union. Hopefully they give us one.

It seems crazy to me that they even decided to play this game. I mean...look outside.

It was obvious that they were going to try. There's a good chance that the Royals lose a home game, or at the very least that the Rays are forced to make an extra trip and players from both teams give up a mandatory off day.

Both teams had a lot of incentive to get it in, they weren't going to stop unless the umpires forced them to stop.
