4.12
SUSPENDED GAMES.
(a) A game shall become a suspended game that must be completed at a future date if the game is terminated for any of the following reasons:
(1) A curfew imposed by law;
(2) A time limit permissible under league rules;
(3) Light failure or malfunction of a mechanical field device under control of the home club. (Mechanical field device shall include automatic tarpaulin or water removal equipment);
(4) Darkness, when a law prevents the lights from being turned on;
(5) Weather, if a regulation game is called while an inning is in progress and before the inning is completed, and the visiting team has scored one or more runs to take the lead, and the home team has not retaken the lead; or

If they can't finish the game, since the Royals took the lead in the top of the inning it becomes a suspended game and must be completed.

Yeah, they just went over that, but they said a new rule was implemented this season that said that if it was the last game of the series between teams they revert back to the last completed inning which would mean the cardinals win and everything the Royals did in the ninth doesn't count.

Holy shitballs, am I seeing this right?

Yeah, but don't get too excited. If they don't start the game back up it sounds like the Royals lose 2-1 on a technicality. Since it is the Royals I'm fully expecting it to happen.

Sweet merciful ****! Of course. Perfect. This is the perfect season.

The umpiring crew doing this game has to drive to Chicago for a day game tomorrow/today. I can't imagine they are going to wait it out much longer since they have to get going.

Radar looks like it should be clear for awhile here soon...so perfect time to call it over.

Excuse the MLB n00b that I am, but, WHAT?!

It's all about what defines an "inning" and how many innings it takes to constitute a "game". Baseball is weird like that.

Lezac saying rain is over in like 5 minutes. Time to pull the plug.

No that's wrong. The rules changed in 2008. If the game isn't completed today, they'll complete it another day.

5 minutes is up. Let me guess, it's still raining?

It was changed again this year is what the Royals radio crew said. They were reading their rule book on the air and said the Royals lose 2-1 if it doesn't start back up. My guess is that is the case or they would have already called it. I have a feeling the umps don't want to take heat for calling a game that gives the team that is losing the victory. There is no reason for them to wait two hours otherwise. If it was just a suspended game, they would have called it by now don't you think?

This is nuts they know if they cancel it everyone will go ape shit

Radio crew or the TV crew?
