2009-06-19 Brewers (Looper) at Tigers (Galarraga) : 6:05 PM CT [Brewers lose, 10-4]

I can't believe they are still trying to get this game started.. It's past 10pm in Detroit.

 

Give it up. Let's get this one off of the books!

Problem with this is that it would take away our off day, forcing us to use a fifth starter on Tuesday, which we didn't want to do.

Are they taking the tarp off? Do you mean they are actively starting or they just aren't cancelling?

Aren't cancelling.

I still don't understand how any new ballpark can be built without a roof. Especially in the midwest, where inclement, or cold, weather is fairly common.

[wibadgers23]

Tarp back on now.

[lcbj68c]

I understand your point, But this isn't football, there are 162 of these things. I'm not against a doubleheader. Nothing wrong with playing two tomorrow or Sunday.

Cliff Lee would look very nice in a Brewers uniform. Throw in DeRosa too!

I think the missing puzzle piece is Victor Martinez.

 

Upgrading our C "situation" makes us AL-powerful. Probably'd have to bat Fielder 5th.

Don't forget about Shin Soo-Choo!

Didn't know that they ever took it off. Interesting.

Ah, but then there are those pesky shadows http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif.

 

I agree and when inspired to investigate by a recent discussion here, I was surprised to discover there had not been a park with a roof built since MP (8 new parks built since then).

If we knew for sure that we could get in a 9 inning game I would be fine starting this sucker back up again. But the umps darn well know that they would be lucky to get 2 innings in again before the game gets called. This obviously gives the Brewers less time to make up the 3 run differential.

[BrewCrewForever]

I wish they would just play two on Saturday or Sunday.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Game is starting soon. Narveson coming in.

[lcbj68c]

I agree. Umps should being starting a game with the intention of playing it to completion. Not restarting with the intention of getting 4 outs. That jeopardizes player safety, IMO. If you honestly don't believe a game could go the distance, you don't restart

[Mr QL]

This has potential to make me very angry.

[DocLuna7]

And we are apparently on.

[Tailgat0r76]

This really stinks. You know we're going to finish our half of the 5th and then the rain is going to start coming and it'll be game over. This is shady as heck

[jeffy]

I have no problem with re-starting. Were the score reversed, would those of you who object feel the same?

 

Sure it might be a shortened game, but that's the rules of baseball.

[Mr QL]

Only a 30 minute window? Macha should of pulled his guys off the field and left the stadium.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Sure seems like the umps are giving the Brewers a raw deal here if they think there's only a 30 minute window, and they are just trying to squeeze another inning in.

[Patrick425]

The Brewers should have let Narveson pitch one pitch, then bring in a reliever, then keep doing. I'm half joking. I know it would be bush league, but this situation is a bit ridiculous

[DocLuna7]

Perhaps we are about to see each MIL hitter take two strikes before trying to protect for at least five minutes each.

[BadgerFan]

So we have three outs to tie the game or take the lead; either way the game will probably be washed away in the bottom half of the fifth. Basically, we have a .00001% chance of this game ending with a Brewers victory.

[BrewCrewForever]

This is not cool.

Speaking of something of this nature, did any of you guys read the article in SI on Charlie Manuel this week? It said that once when he was coaching in the minors, and his team was losing 7-0 before the game would be official, he paid off the grounds crew to leave when it starting raining, so the infield got flooded, and the game had to be re-played.
