April 28/August 25, Orioles at White Sox

[PaulFolk]

Quite simply because the Orioles don't return to Chicago this year to play the White Sox.

I do think the White Sox come to Camden Yards and to me, it would be smarter to just finish the game then.

I guess that makes sense. They probably don't want to open up Comiskey for a day and bring in a whole bunch of staff for what might only be one or two innings of baseball.

Resuming the game in Baltimore could work, though they'd have to wait a while. The White Sox won't be back at Camden Yards until the last week of August.

The. Play. Was. Behind. Him.

Oh, wait, I'm being insensitive. You're a mutant with eyes in the back of your head, aren't you?

Im not getting into a pissing match with you. Samuel was at fault but I simply disagree that Jones is completely absolved there.

[The Wedge]

Well when the Orioles Yankees game was delayed last Sunday the put 32 50 pound bags of dirt on the field before they started again.

All putting dirt on the field is going to do is make it muddier and lumpier.

So what's the rule if this thing is indeed suspended to be completed at a later date?

Would both teams have to complete the game with the 25 players they have on their roster currently?

[baseballnelie]

Yeah this field has gotten ridiculous the past few innings, they should just suspend and finish it next time we play them. Let them fly home to rest before tomorrow's homestand starts

Im not getting into a pissing match with you. Samuel was at fault but I simply disagree that Jones is completely absolved there.

And I completely and simply disagree that Jones should somehow have known exactly what was going on when the play was behind him.

Well, I sat there counting all the bags and thought someone might care

and it may have been some type of drying agent I guess.

No. The same issue arose last year with the Yankees game in Baltimore that was suspended in the 8th. It was resumed a month later, and both teams got to use players that had been added to the roster since then.

[Orioles Magic]

Yeah, but I like the fact that they never said die.

True that. And it looks like they will manage to go .500 on the trip. Who would have thought that would be possible through seven games. Hopefully they just suspend this one and our boys can come on home.

[erb8472]

Apparently they are bringing in all the gear, but no official announcement. Apparently its a rain delay for now.

No.

The players that are out of the game (Huff, Cabrera, Johnson, Walker, Bradford, Sarfate, Luis Hernandez, Payton, and Quiroz) are ineligble to return.

Any players added to the 25 man roster (in lieu of any of those players mentioned above) are able to enter the suspended game.

[erb8472]

No. The same issue arose last year with the Yankees game in Baltimore that was suspended in the 8th. It was resumed a month later, and both teams got to use players that had been added to the roster since then.

So would Huff be eligible to play in the game?

[osfan83]

Aquino, Albers, and Bierd are our only relievers left.

At least if the game gets suspended and Aquino gets released, we get to use the new arm or any new players in the game.

What if this game is resumed 2 months from now, but two of the pitchers left are off the team, and we are acrrying one less pitcher. Who is eligible?

[Crazysilver03]

So would Huff be eligible to play in the game?

No, because he is already out of the game.

[PaulFolk]

So would Huff be eligible to play in the game?

No. He's already played in the game, and has been removed. He can't re-enter, but new players may enter.

Crazysilver explained it better than I did.
