Yeah this crew really has struggled today. Hopefully the next two games are better...

I like the umpire asking for help here.

 

Yep, he missed the call but at least he is willing to check what others saw.

[brewdude15]

They should've called the game after 1.

Instead of just getting defensive. I have to stress this a little more since we so rarely see it and I usually ride the umpires for not getting help. Props to the umps for trying.

[Mr QL]

Oh come on. Really getting no breaks at all.

[jeffy]

Hourly forcast now says 95% chance of heavy thurderstorms as of midnight (eastern), so it looks like there is, at most, another 1/2 hour left for this game.

[logan82]

Call it. This game is getting ugly.

[jeffy]

Well that does it, most likely. The shortened game ends up not being much of a factor as the odds are pretty small that the Brewers would come up with 6 or more runs in the next two innings were they to be played.

They've gone to the postgame show on FSN, this delay will be exactly 30 minutes before the game is called.

 

Gave up 3 runs, but Naverson took the bullet nicely tonight.

I was at Comerica tonight. It's a shame they even started the game -- I'm at a hotel just a couple blocks from the stadium and the streets and freeways are flooding. And meh...we didn't deserve to win. Looper just looked awful -- the ball was just flying off the Detroit bats. Dude didn't give up any cheapies tonight.

It has to be frustrating when you give your starting pitcher a 3-0 lead before he's even taken the mound, and he seems to try and give up that lead as quickly as possible.
