Rain Delayed Game in Boston Called With Tigers Go-Ahead Run At the Plate

The fuck you think I’m going to recap this debacle for? Tigers lose 4-1 even though they had the bases loaded with the go-ahead run at the plate when the rains came.

You call games when there’s a bat shit chance in hell the road team can come back. That wasn’t the case here.

    When the rains came??? It was raining the whole time…how the hell do they decide to stop with the bases loaded? I’m just glad JV didn’t get hurt pitching in that crap. I guess this means his consecutive start streak stays alive…not much consolation.

      Technically, they say it ended, and ironically it was a complete game…..

    What was the win probability at the time? Greater than 5%?

      15%

        There should be a rule that requires resuming action if the game is close (with some objective definition of “close”).

    the tigers had bases loaded earlier in the game as well, didn’t do shit with it
