Rule 7.02(a)
7.02 (4.12) Suspended, Postponed, and Tie Games

(a) A game shall become a suspended game that must be com- pleted at a future date if the game is terminated for any of the following reasons:

1. (1) A curfew imposed by law;
   
   
2. (2) A time limit permissible under league rules;
   
   
3. (3) Light failure, malfunction of, or unintentional operator error in employing, a mechanical or field device or equipment under the control of the home club (e.g., a retractable roof, a tarpaulin, or other water removal equipment);
   
   
4. (4) Darkness, when a law prevents the lights from being turned on;
   
   
5. (5) Weather, if a regulation game is called while an inning is in progress and before the inning is completed, and the visiting team has scored one or more runs to take the lead, and the home team has not retaken the lead; or
   
   
6. (6) It is a regulation game that is called with the score tied;

National Association Leagues may also adopt the following rules for suspended games. (If adopted by a National Association League, Rule 7.01(e) (Rule 4.10(e)) would not apply to their games.);

1. (7) The game has not become a regulation game (41⁄2 innings with the home team ahead, or 5 innings with the visiting club ahead or tied);
   
   
2. (8) If a game is suspended before it becomes a regulation game, and is continued prior to another regularly sched- uled game, the regularly scheduled game shall be seven innings in length. See the exception described in Rule 7.01(a) (Rule 4.10(a));
   
   
3. (9) If a game is suspended after it is a regulation game, and is continued prior to another regularly scheduled game, the regularly scheduled game shall be a nine-inning game.

Interesting your link contradicts mine. It wouldn't be a Giants loss but they would have had to complete it later.

Hoo boy here comes the bullpen, leadoff walk given. So, do we get FYWW or 2016 pen tonight?

 

[msgkings322]

Didn't take long to get my answer

 

[Hangman]

dang our bullpen is gonna blow it. Kontos lets get a strike out then a double play

 

[calsnowskier]

It doesn't matter now, but it looks like LHG found the answer.




(And msg is wrong)

His is from the actual rules (I have independently confirmed)



Fuck you Kuntos

 

[Hangman]

Nice try.

 

[calsnowskier]

Another blown save...

 

[calsnowskier]

No excuse for our bully to suck to bad here. Their guy came in and got an out, WITH THE BASES JUICED, nonetheless.

Our guy comes out and promptly gives up a walk and a single, than his relief grants a bomb.

I want to see Moronta, Rogers, Alvarado, Cyr, Crick...

Get rid of Gearrin and Kuntos

Kid may be heating up. 2-4 tonight

 

[calsnowskier]

He should have taken that one for the team...

 

[calsnowskier]

Is that Morses first career single?

 

[calsnowskier]

Base hit ties it up...

 

[calsnowskier]

Don't matter, really, but why not PR Cueto for Morse there? I assume Sammy is not at the ballpark, but Cueto is faster than Morse...

 

[LHG]

Well, Morris now looks better than both Okert and Kontos. How far Kontos has fallen from two years ago (and even last year).

 

[Stokes1931]

2-10

Kontos has been pretty reliable with inherited runners so far, 1-10 on the season, until tonight, 2-2. Against the Cards. Figures.

Gearrin has been awful with inherited runners and has a beautiful ERA. Kontos (with tonight's debacle) has been decent with inherited runners and has an awful ERA. Yep, there needs to be better ways to measure relief pitchers' effectiveness. Maybe if we come up with a simple statistic that tells us whether or not they held a lead . . .
