GDT 7-4: KYLE brings EDDIE to the Dance !

[Ozzie Swanson]

So what exactly is the rule. If the game is rained out, would it suspended and resume another day from the point they stopped? I thought it was changed during COVID and left in place

Just looked it up and it looks like they did change the rule during the Covid year and it would be a suspended game to be continued from the point it stopped at a later date. So probably a double header at some point later in the home stand.

 

[Nerfherders]

That's a relief.

 

[zbhargrove]

Sweet. I’m glad that rule has changed. Was always dumb

My son is there, and he says there are major puddles in the outfield

the Braves have the best drainage system in the majors.

would take probably a few minutes for those big puddles to be drained underground. The grass would still be wet and slick. But no big puddles.

Yup. Was part of the new cba. Great change.

Took awhile to find the rules on this, since MLB doesn't have it organized or communicated well. But this exact scenario occured earlier this year with Twins vs Astros. They resumed the game from where it left off the following day. The recap article indicates they changed the rules during COVID and kept them since.

Probably a DH Thursday. Sucks that we lost Wright even if the game resumes tonight.

 

[CyYoung31]

Oh this thing has been a heavy rain machine. I’m sure the OF is in awful shape

Don’t let Acuña continue playing tonight.

 

[jsebe10]

Ha. They ain’t getting this game in…push till tomorrow

The rain is almost over. If they waited this long it makes no sense to call it

That weather channel radar has it moving out at 2 am and absolutely down pouring

If this were the case, seems like it woulda been called by now. They must think there's a window

 

[Hulavol]

Yeah - no need to call it now - besides think of the beer sales they are enjoying / we gotta a big payroll to think about here / sell all the chick fil and tomahawk dogs and 24 oz beers for thirty bucks you can

Cool… I’m a meteorologist at the National Weather Service and am analyzing the radar in real time. Also there is no “weather channel radar” lol… it’s NWS radars. You’re probably referring to their “future radar” or whatever it’s called. All that is is a high resolution model that cannot capture exact pop up summer thunderstorm locations like this.

I look for your posts every rain delay and have done so for years. Cheers

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Looks like activity on the field

 

[Hulavol]

ZBH is the man when it comes to this.

Is it going to snow in Milledgeville this year?
