I doubt they'll call the game if the delay is only expected to be an hour. 

If they did though, it would go down as 6-1 after 6 innings and 7th would just never have existed correct?

If the weather is bad enough, I believe this one could go final, correct?

I think that's correct.

HOU/CLE game. intentional balk, to move the runner to 3rd

it could... now that I think about it. TOmorrow's game is already a day game starting at 1pm Chicago time. To play the rest of this game tomorrow before that game they'd have to start at like... 10am. 

They don't play in Chicago again for the rest of the season, so... what they only way to really complete a suspended game would be to ... play it out directly after tomorrow's game, which would be all kinds of weird.... or try to find an off day on a White Sox home stand that both teams have off to finish off 2.5 innings plus 1 out.  That would also be goofy. 

Maybe they suspend it, and only finish at the tail end of the season if it matters to the Jays playoff seeding.

tomorrow it may be not easy to beat the W Sox

Raleigh just smacked number 36.

That's like the total of our top 2.

I think the game has to be considered official if it's called due to rain. It's only when the game is tied or the visiting team took the lead in the top of the inning that it's suspended

our top 3 have 40

POssible make up dates... 

July 31st - both are off, Chicago would have just finished a home stand and Jays would be on the road in Baltimore the previous 3 days. Problem though being the Jays are already scheduled for a double dip as a make up game from April during that series and would also mean they would then be playing 21 games in 20 days with no off day. No thanks. 

August 21st - same situation as above as far as home/away goes but ... this would cause Chicago to be playing 24 days in a row. Pretty sure that's not cool even though they're way out of it. 

Sept 22, would mean 20 game days in a row for Toronto to end the season. 

Sept 29 or 30th would be the only real make up days - the 2 days after the season "ends" but theyd only do it if it mattered to the Jays standings .

Per https://www.mlb.com/glossary/rules/regulation-game

I believe you to be correct. It would fall under "If a regulation game is terminated early due to weather, the results are considered final if the home team is leading. If the home team is trailing, the results are considered final if the game is not in the midst of an inning when the visiting team has taken the lead."

That is the situation they are in. But my bet is they only call it if the rain delay is going to be hours and hours long since tomorrow is a day game. a one hour delay they probably just keep going and play late.

Rays lose again. They've lost 7 of 9 and have a 4 game set against the Red Sox who might pass them in the standings before the ASB at this rate.

I really hope they split that series. Id rather neither team make up much ground if the Jays don't do what they should against the As

We're good. Those scrub teams are 5 GB and 6.5 GB after today's game goes final so they'll be fighting for Wild Card spots is all.

[Eat My Shatkins]

Have they played enough of this game to chalk er up as a win if they can't get going again?

they played 6 complete innings, it should be enough, 

[Grant77]

It's still raining hard and they play at 1 tomorrow. Just call the game. There are no implications for the White Sox.

Good, Bassitt looked poised to go 8, it'd be a real piss off to have eat 3 innings with relievers now because of a fricken rain delay.

Same 

Also hoping Yankees and Rays play each other a lot in the second half?

Twice for six games. Like most divisional opponents they have two series in the first half and two series in the second half.

The only divisional opponent we haven't done that with is Boston, we got three of our four series out of the way with them in the first half.

[Masterbather]

Perfect 10!

[Brownie19]

Blue Jays win! Double digits baby

[infinitebook]

Perfect result, not a single BP arm used. 

[Grant77]

Game over, Jays win. 10 straight.

Goodnight.

[Masterbather]

Bassitt with the complete game baby!

Asterisk and all, when is the last complete game we had?

[hanton]

JS didn't get his steps in he won't be able to sleep tonight

[G-Snarls]

This is awesome 

Now even the weather works in our favour 

[John_Havok]

Hell ya, weather save the pen and the streak.

Everything is coming up Milhouse.
