Gameday's ptich classification = not good
called that first pitch a 4-seam fastball
Future Redbirds - tracking Cardinal prospects for Cardinal Nation
surely they're two-seam fastballs
Look at all 5 pitches in the at bat. All have 5" BRK and 10/11" PFX. 2 are classfied as two-seam fastballs and 3 are classified as four-seam fastballs. I think they are all two-seamers.

yah but we're better turning him around lefty
and putting in, say, Hawk or Motte than we are letting him hit righty and leaving in Reyes (OPS vs RHB in 2009: .961. Puke.).
Just to be clear, Dennys Reyes as of this year turns all right-handed batters into David Wright….

Fuego is right
It would make no sense to just use the score when the delay is called. That would be incredibly unfair to the Cards in this game. They haven’t had a chance to bat.
From Wiki:
* If the game has completed the top half of the 5th inning and the home team is ahead, the game can be deemed an official game. The home team is declared the winner, and the game officially counts in standings.
* If the game has completed the bottom half of the 5th inning and either team is ahead, the game can be deemed an official game. The leading team is declared the winner, and the game officially counts in standings.
* If the game has completed the 5th inning, and the teams are tied, the game is considered suspended, and the resumption of the game is scheduled for a future date (usually the following day). The game picks up from where it left off.
* If neither of the previous three scenarios apply, the game can not be deemed official. The umpire declares “No Game,” and a make-up of the game is scheduled for a future date. The statistics compiled during the rained out game are not counted.

So from that, were hosed.
The game won’t be called anyway.

So...
from what i understand of that is that either the inning has to be completed or the home team has to be up after the top inning for it to be official?

I read a couple different versions above....
If the game is called now, I was under the impression we lost.
Some say it goes back to the last completed inning, so we’d win. Is that accurate?
Is that a new rule?
because I have a hard time believing it
"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

me too
according to wikipedia we would lose
- If the game has completed the top half of the 5th inning and the home team is ahead, the game can be deemed an official game. The home team is declared the winner, and the game officially counts in standings.
- If the game has completed the bottom half of the 5th inning and either team is ahead, the game can be deemed an official game. The leading team is declared the winner, and the game officially counts in standings.
you are interpreting it wrong
If the game has completed the bottom half of the 5th inning and either team is ahead, the game can be deemed an official game.
this just means that if the visitor is ahead after the bottom of 5 and it gets called they win or if it was tied going to the bottom of the 5th and the home team scores the visitor doesn’t get to bat.

But then there's this:
4.12.5
(5) Weather, if a regulation game is called while an inning is in progress and
before the inning is completed, and the visiting team has scored one or more
runs to take the lead, and the home team has not retaken the lead;
This is a regulation game, because it has gone five innings. But, while an inning was in progress and before the inning was completed, the Pads scored, and the home team has not retaken the lead — then it’s a suspended game
I think this is just an unnecessary ambiguity in the rules. I believe it must mean that the home team has had at least one at-bat and has not retaken the lead.
Anyway if Rule 4.12.5 applies here as it seems to read, the game would be suspended, to be completed later.
"I throw him four wide ones then try to pick him off first base." - Preacher Roe on Musial
A game can't end
without a complete inning. Think about it. Cardinals have to bat, or you go back to the last complete inning.

by Smokin Turkeys on Aug 16, 2009 5:06 PM EDT up reply actions
if I'm not mistaken
if the game is actually called (which will not happen anytime soon) the score reverts to what it was after the last full inning. The rain started in the middle of the 6th. After the end of the 5th, the score was Cards 4, Pads 3.
I don’t think they’ll call the game. It might not be completed until 10 o’clock though…..
I think that's accurate --
used to be anyway. But in this situation, where they would have to erase the leading run from the visiting team, umps will be way, way reluctant to call the game, even if completing it takes hours.

There is nothing more annoying than Yankee fans with their team in or near 1st place. I was at a Sox-Rangers game where Yankees fans had a group of 10 year old boys—and the 10 year old Yankee kids spent the whole game swearing at and calling similar Boston kids “pussies”.

Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
i feel sorry for the ump
never thought i’d say that
He had decided to live forever, or to die in the attempt
rain starts...
call the ground crew on… immediately rain stops… waves ground crew off… 2 pitches.. rain starts again… ump hesitates.. one more pitch.. rain gets heavy.. ground crew on
