Why did this game restart right now? This is ridiculous.

They were probably hoping the Royals would retire the Sox so they could just call the game.

Probably to make it official and suspended as opposed to staring over. It at least used to be if it wasn’t official it was a do over. But it does look like they should be able to play in a while for a while

Which I don’t get, because from the Sox perspective you’d probably rather restart this than have it be suspended through 5

A 4 inning game vs a 9 inning game is a lot easier on the pitching staff, and makes for a shorter day for everyone,

If we have to restart it, there is an 80% chance we replay the game with a SP other than Giolito. I'll take 4 innings of our bullpen vs theirs over our SPs vs theirs (especially since KC SP always seem to mystify us).

I'd consider this as well. 

This is true for most of us I would guess.

Maybe they can cut him and sign him back on as team mascot.  I’m sick of seeing him and his .613 OPS.

If  only he was as good of a player as he is as a clown.

Its just weird to me because, most of us here are Sox fans because we grew up in the Chicago area or because we had family that did, and if the Sox never existed we would probably be cubs fans. Same thing with Cubs fans, they would be Sox fans if the cubs never existed. 

When I was a kid, my grandpa took me to a ton of Cubs games because the family consisted mostly of Sox fans and nobody else would go with him.

At the exact same time, we had Sox season tix so my dad took me to a ton of Sox games.

I'm not sure how this happened, but even though I thoroughly enjoyed going to both, I only cared about the Sox. Attending Cub games was fun enough, watching MLB and being in an MLB ballpark and enjoying my grandfather buying me stuff. I only cared about the Sox results however. I pretended for him to want the Cubs to win but didn't really care. My poor grandfather. Once we moved to the suburbs (he moved there also as his wife died) he was surrounded by Sox fans and I got older and went to Sox games with my own friends. Poor gramps. I shoulda kept going to some Cub games with him, but kids can be kinda selfish. Young and dumb.

DVS says it’s doubtful that they play tonight due to the field conditions. Still am puzzled by the 5:30 restart despite the radar.

What would they do then? Suspend or restart?

I think they were hoping for a 10 minute window to get the game to official status.

I don’t think it meets the suspension requirements.

You are correct. And to your prior post, I get it but the window seemed too tight

What...they don't know our boys don't quit.

It seemed crazy but they just wanted 2 outs or 2 runs.

What is the rule for a suspended game being a restart vs continuation?

What is the rule? (it’s 0044 in England and I’m too tired to look it up myself.)

It is suspended. Resumes tomorrow.

A friend was at the game today. He wants to know if he’ll get a rain check.

I think they suspend it if it's through the 5th and tied.. Bunch of other circumstances too (if the visiting team took the lead in the inning it was suspended and it is the 6th inning or later).

Edited May 28, 20196 yr by GreenSox

Game suspended, to be resumed at 4:40 Chicago time Tuesday with the Sox batting.

Fourth game either postponed or suspended this year so far for the Sox. Three of those have been at home. They have also had three other games shortened / completed due to bad weather, one of those was at home (vs. Toronto-5 innings W). Others in New York (7 innings W) and Cleveland (6 innings-L).

Tied one to one so tomorrow when it’s resumed it will be like a new game 

Welp that's one way to stop .213 Heblows

Dawww. Yeah you never realize how great going to MLB games are as a kid until you get older. Great memories.
