[adamds22]

currently in a rain delay

[pacopete4]

Anyone hear of a time they are going to try to start up again?

Not at all would be sweet. I'll take a cheap 5 inning win, pen could use it. But based on what Trwi said that probably won't happen.

 

Oh well, there's still a part of me that would rather have 4 more innings of Brewer baseball anyway.

Rain delay talk .. the Pirates just claimed Jhan Marinez off of waivers from MKE per multiple Twitter handles. Best of luck to you young man!

[liveforoctober]

They just said on the radio that if the game is called all stats will count. So Eric's single and the double error cetera. They also said under these conditions that Paolo would be credited with the win and Rob would get a save. I would like to know rules on that one..

[MrTPlush]

If the starter fails to go 5 innings the win is at the discretion of official scorer.

[owbc]

Looks like the rain is about over, lets play some more baseball!

[DoubleSwitch]

official scorer can only award a win to a relief pitcher

 

rule here is a starter needs 5 innings in a game that last 6 innings or more, but only 4 innings in a game that only lasts 5 innings. I was bored so I looked it up. 9.17(b)

Grounds crew out on the field now per Haudricourt. Don't know why it was being talked about. The rain was never going to last long enough for that to be a possibility.

Well it was a pretty lengthy delay. 2 hours by the time they get going?

It all seemed pretty dumb to me. Anybody can sit and watch the radar and see that it was about to rain. And that it would rain for a couple hours max, and then it would stop. They should have stopped the game at the end of the 4th and let it all blow over. They would have got the tarp on much sooner and there would be no need to do much ground work after it quit raining 40 minutes ago.

[adambr2]

Ugh come on guys. Don't blow this. Need one at least.

[adambr2]

Nice rip Domingo!

[BuckyBrewer61]

The people sitting behind the plate now are such...Cub fans

[dacbrewers]

Just saw Marinez was claimed by pirates.

[pacopete4]

Wily Peralta up and moving around in the pen. Bullpen debut coming!

[BuckyBrewer61]

For those people that dislike Bill as an announcer, I hope you're paying attention to Augie today. When he actually speaks, that is.

[adambr2]

Franklin is as good as gone IMO, especially if Sogard can play LF.

5 for 18 as a pinch hitter gives him an opportunity to be on this ball team.

[LouisEly]

Wily dropping 98 mph heaters followed up by 78 mph curves.

 

Wow, that was strike three.

[adambr2]

Total joke that that LaStella wasn't rung up on 1-2. He should be back in the dugout.

 

Wasn't even close to being a ball. Timmons has been pathetic today.

[MrTPlush]

Great location for Peralta there. Everything on the edge or not even in the strike zone.

[adambr2]

Nice inning Wily! Even the walk shouldn't have been one.

 

Would have to think there's a good chance Knebel isn't available today. He's seen a lot of work lately.

[pacopete4]

Feel good for Wily. Counsell said he wanted to help this team win games and this is a perfect way for him to do so.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Boy, if Wily can be a weapon in the pen that would be huge. Looked good getting those 4 outs in 1 inning.
