2018-09-01: Brewers (Anderson) at Nationals (Strasburg) 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-4 -- Lead Blown in 8th Inning After Two Hour Rain Delay]

Hate Soto all you want, he is insanely good for a 19 year old.

[adambr2]

Don't know what happened but Yelich needs to squeeze that. Didn't matter though.

C'mon Mother Nature, be our extra September callup tonight!

[adambr2]

It's time to put the tarp on. Don't have a repeat of yesterday out there. We'll wait, and if they call it, we'll take it. This is ridiculous.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Burnes is a nice luxury to have. I like him a lot.

Or not...

[PinaMadness]

Seriously, how is this game not delayed?

[TooLiveBrew]

What on earth are these umps thinking here. Not safe at all, even if we were down a run.

[adambr2]

Again, this is absolutely ridiculous. 2 days in a row.

[PinaMadness]

 

Doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon.

[bigredrobbo]

I guarantee the tarp goes on both nights if the Nationals were winning!

You would hope not as it is up to the umps, not the Nationals.

[phnxcrew]

Why are they doing this crap this season? Call the game

Oh, I get that, but it seems like it favors the home side, to tarp, or not, more than the away side.

I can't like this post enough.

[adambr2]

So, really still not calling this?

[adambr2]

Finally. I think we have won this game.

[phnxcrew]

The umpires were confused and thought the Nationals cared about winning the game.

[pacopete4]

Just call it a W!!!

[rcc]

Call this game please and thank you.

Are there rules for when a game can be suspended versus called?

Are there rules for when a game can be suspended versus called?

 

“Inclement weather, but only if the game is stopped in the middle of an inning in which the visiting team has taken the lead, except during the postseason“

 

There are other reasons, but this is what you care about.

Games are suspended if they are tied or the visiting team took the lead in the inning the game was called. Based on the rules, if the game was called the Brewers would win.
