Its especially maddening when you realize there is no way this game would of been called due to rain. It would of been an hour or 2 delay at the most.

Also, the 5 inning official game rule is beyond dumb. Why are the first 5 innings any more important than the last 4?
The thought is, if you get at least half the game in, its dumb to just pretend it never existed if you're not able to finish it. I see both sides.
He didn't go 5 (unless there is some special rule im not aware of with called games)
I can't watch. Did the wet conditions appear to have anything to do with the Schwarber fielding and throwing errors?
Only need 4 innings for a game that last 5+ innings. Once you get to 6, then the starter needs 5 to get the win.
The conditions basically caused it. Plus, Montgomery was forced to pitch in a monsoon. He clearly couldn't find the zone with the wet ball and walked the 2 guys who scored.
This delay should be 3-2 going into the top 5th.
I didn't know that either and was wondering about who would factor in the decision. Just happened to see it on Twitter.
I don't know man, this guy just looks a AAA player. He seems out of his element in the big leagues. Is it time to make some deals and start thinking about 2018?
