Got him by a hair...

...ston.

 

[USMA76]

We need to extent Stella.

Don't understand...extend?

 

[UNCBlue012]

Dang, Span is fun to watch. He's doing work. BUT, let's go ahead and get out of this.

 

[UNCBlue012]

7-1. Come on Santana, get these crappy hitters out.

Besides Span.

 

[Julio3000]

Shall I ask? What's BTCH?

I wish I could come up with an appropriate acronym. It's a callback to an earlier observation that Strasburg, however good his stuff, has some bitch in him.

Tonight he has some Upton in him, too.

 

[Dalyn]

If we win, I sure hope Washington loses so we gain ground.

 

[UNCBlue012]

WHAT. hahahah this team

No logical reason. 7-4.

Kimbrel sold his soul to Sa_tan_ for a little work.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Come on rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Julio3000]

Somewhere, Gilesfan's EKG just spiked.

 

[The Tariff King]

Santana just wanted to get Kimbrel some work in.

 

[Hulavol]

Time to buckle back down. Come Erv. Let's get this done.

 

[Dalyn]

Somewhere, Gilesfan's EKG just spiked.

Hope he didn't accidentally pull the trigger.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Welp. That's just incredibly annoying. 7-0... 7-4. I don't know if we give these runs up if it's not raining though. There's no reason not to stop it... they better give us an inning in the rain lol

 

[UNCBlue012]

Good job buckling down Santana. Keeps it at 7-4.

 

[UNCBlue012]

So they let the Nationals hit when it's hard to pitch in the rain and delay when we can. LMAO. So much bias.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Rain delay

Probably has more to do with the rules. If they had delayed while they were batting and the game couldn't get started again, they would have to postpone. Now they can call it, if necessary.

The rule is 5 innings (4.5 if the home team is winning after 4.5), correct? For someone that isn't watching and only following the game, does it look like there's a chance the game could get called early?

That's for an official game.
