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.

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

I don't think they can object
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.

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.

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.

Imagine how the Indians feel
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 have a reasonable dislike of Bill Hall.

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

The team needs another starting pitcher
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

I should say that Telly really struggles to come up with good questions, but he seems to make up for it somewhat with camaraderie with the subjects.

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.

Was about to go into a resturant in Orlando when they game went into delay
place was like a cave no cell service so I am in there for an hour come out and game is still in delay in bottom of the 4th pop up weather channel on Iphone and see storms going all the way back to Madison
I would be amazed if they get this game in
On another note what the hell has Looper taken in the roll of Manny Parra I thought Comerica was a pitcher friendly park?

The picture on the Game Delay Thread
Where did you find Bruce Campbell in a Tigers uniform?
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"

I don't understand
How they can openly admit that there’s a 35 minute window and still let the players back out on the field.
