EatSleepJeep Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 The Iowa Cubs and Albuquerque Isotopes game in Albuquerque, New Mexico has just been postponed in the 6th inning due to bad weather...IN DENVER. I kid you not. The reason given by the Isotopes:Since both teams are traveling tomorrow and there are predicted flight delays, they said they wanted to get both teams on planes today. I have to believe that this is rare if not entirely unprecedented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakwood Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Can you postpone a game in the 6th inning? Can't you end the game after 5 innings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Can you postpone a game in the 6th inning? Can't you end the game after 5 innings?That's what I was thinking. 5 full innings = official game, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Can you postpone a game in the 6th inning? Can't you end the game after 5 innings?Going completely off the cuff here, but I suppose that if conditions at the game site forced the end of the game then it would be considered a complete game. However, because the PCL wants to avoid the possibility that two games the following day might be negatively impacted by the inability of the Albuquerque and Iowa teams to fly to their next series, the conclusion of the game is merely postponed. It seems like the only fair thing to do.Again, I'm not sure that's the logic behind the reason for a postponement and not a called game, but it seems to make sense.

EatSleepJeep Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 They said they will continue the game the next time the Iowa team comes to Albuquerque in June. They'll play 3 innings with the same score from today and then play another game in a quasi-double header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 If I was a fan at that game I would demand a full refund. I understand bad weather, but that seems a little bit crazy to me.
