so if this game is called

what would that do to the whole 4-man rotation set-up?

depends on when they schedule the makeup gaem

It would be Monday

Both teams are off that day.

A start for Burns somewhere?

Is Lindsay Gulin any good I wonder. Time to get a tryout start to see if anyone can step up.

by ol Pete on Jun 19, 2009 7:51 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

They can't fit anyone else on the 40-man roster without designating someone

Assuming it’s a Monday game, Burns would not have started for eight days. Chase Wright would have five days rest. Tim Dillard would be on three days rest.

What's is the limit on games in a row?

If they play Monday, the Brewers would be looking 18 straight days with a game scheduled.

by Getting Yosted on Jun 19, 2009 7:52 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I think the team would object to playing that many games in a row

I think that would play a doubleheader tomorrow before they play 18 in a row

They can be scheduled for 20 games in a row anyway, and I believe there’s a rule that if both teams have an off-day after the series, they have to make up a rained-out game on that day before playing a doubleheader. There’s probably some exceptions if the off-day is used to fly cross-country or something, but I don’t think any exceptions would apply here.

Do the front offices have any say in the matter, or is it MLB that makes the decision? I can see Melvin just saying hang the game, we’ll play it at the end of the season if it matters so we don’t have to mess with the roster right now.

by Getting Yosted on Jun 19, 2009 8:00 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Trying to figure it out

Maybe they actually can postpone it because Monday is a home off-day (they fly home Sunday night).

Don't put any work into it

I’m just speculating that if I were Melvin, I’d be interested in not playing on Monday and roll the dice I don’t need to play it on Oct 1st.

by Getting Yosted on Jun 19, 2009 8:09 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Well, I'm curious about it, too

We’ll probably hear soon enough and everything I’ve written in this thread will wind up being wrong. Either way, with eight relievers, including a couple guys who can go multiple innings, they could probably survive a McClung 3 or 4 inning start if it needs to be played Monday or as a doubleheader.

Aww crap

Good point =(

On the flip side, considering most starters are only going like 4/4.5 innings lately, that’s really only like pitching half a game, right?

After the last 5 days, they must be wondering what they have to do to win a baseball game.

Anyone else see the reports that the Brewers had someone in the DR to watch Pedro work out?

I heard the Angels, Cubs, Yankees, and ever-present "other teams" were watching

Didn’t hear about the Brewers.

Sleepwalking through...

If this gets called I suppose we’ll thank the two reviewed calls for delaying the game action enough to prevent it from going five?

With a relief appearance by Claudio Vargas, we might be looking at five hour regulation games

Can Steve Trachsel make it to Detroit in time?

I am furiously firing rockets filled with silver iodide towards Detroit as we speak.

Unfortunately, I’m not sure any of them are even clearing Lake Michigan.

Of course, the tarp isn't off the field at 8:25

So that seems unlikely

Heck of a train up along i-96

To bad it wasn’t along 94. Prob restart this game only to call it before it finishes. I hope Macha is working them umps or whoever is in power.
