No they don't. Once it gets passed the 5th, they can end it whenever the umps decide to end it... doesn't have to be anything fair about it...

That's not true. The losing team has to have the same number of at-bats as they winning team. So if the game were to be delayed by rain in the top of the 7th, it would be suspended and resumed later.

I, on the other hand, need the money. :D

It only matters if the other team took the lead in the top of the inning. Since that didn't happen, they can end it without the 2 teams getting equal AB's... you can look it up...

So, do you wanna bet? ;-)

:scratchchinhmm: Hmmm... I'm thinking... maybe not because I'm not good at looking stuff up.

And as I type this you provide the documentation. Well if nothing else, now I know a good site for baseball rules. :D:o

4.11(d) There's a handful of special cases you gotta sort through... and it's not only if the visiting team took the lead, it's also if they tied it in the top of the inning... other than that, it's over whenever the ump says the rain makes it's over...

That does appear to support your position, but it also says "Copyright 1998." If the rule was changed in the last couple of years-- as I believe it was-- I'm not sure it would be on that site.

      Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.
