How many innings have to be played for it to count as a game? re: potential rain delay

It’s already an official game, but I can see them waiting all night

You miss a little, you miss a lot.

Neither horaeshoes nor handgranades is it?

Bring in the rain!!

 

We ain’t finishing this game without rain. and it could last a while

 

Three hours of rain would be a more effective way to finish this one off than the Twins bullpen is likely to muster...

You know, we COULD call it now. 

 

Not sayin'. Just sayin'.

Only 3 more innings of our bullpen's stylings to go!

Strategic move on May's part -- allow a couple baserunners so the inning lasts longer and the tarp is timed perfectly.

I don't even know what the current rules are, concerning rain-shortened games, except that MLB hates them to pieces and will do anything to avoid them.

That was the sixth inning already? I could've sworn it was only the 4th.

 

Of the series finale.

 

Tomorrow.

I'd say another 3-4 HRs and 7 or so more runs should be enough for the win.

 

Whaddya think?

 

Miracles happen.

 

At least once in a while.

You guys do realize we are winning this game... right? All this doom and gloom seems fitting for a game we're losing by 10 runs, not a close game.

 

Let's not forget, even if our pitcher blows this lead, our offense has shown to be more than capable at getting the lead back.

 

So much for Kimbrel being a priority.

 

Yup, now we can get down to the business of watching the bullpen implode on cue.

We're all playing checkers; he's out here playing 4D chess.

All the Cleveland guys have a mean face on, but having worked in MILB grounds for 8 years, it’s nice to see an umpiring crew call for the tarp early. It’s amazing that in 2019 it’s still acceptable to make a couple dozen people run out in a lightning storm to throw a giant tarp on a baseball field

DFA!!!! Solved!!!!

I take that back!!!!!!!!

My guess is this delay will last an hour or two

I wish someone could solve the puzzle and get the performance out of Trevor May. So many of his pitches are of the no-hope variety.

Isn't there a song about that in the Sound of Music How do you solve a puzzle like Trevor May?

Good implosions are very exhaustively timed.

 

I'm demolitions expert, but i respect the craftsmanship that goes into it.

5

5

or 4.5, if home team leading.

Oh, i see. Today was our day to homer.

 

So what should i do during a delay for rain?

In favor of those offensive supplements. Ambivalent about their efficacy.

Hang on, working on an answer for you and should have it in a bit...

 

I was poking around the MiLB site to see how the Twins kids were doing (the Wed Rings won with Arraez being held to 3-for-5 with a double). The Fresno pitcher has a perfect game through 5 against New Orleans. Two questions come to mind about New Orleans:

 

1. How in the world are they in the Pacific Coast League?

 

2. Who in the world would name a team the "Baby Cakes"?

 

I think I know the answer to the first one (merger of old American Association), but #2?

 

Oh, i see. Today was our day to homer.

So what should i do during a delay for rain?

Don't mean to speak for SSOO, but in my case, yes, no.

How do you hold a curveball in your hand?

 

Please, somebody tell him, because too often the ball goes nowhere near the catcher's mitt.

Bremer said it would be a very short rain delay, so they’re probably done fir tonight

No treadmill? What do you hang drying laundry on?
