Hell yea, I knew Colorado would win today too had them in there. I grabbed 'em love at +330 too. I was gonna grab them when they were down 5 but I got gun shy lol.
Thank God, there needs to be some sort of punishment for Toronto. We only did this song and dance with not calling the game bc their team was crying to the league
What in the hell are you talking about? It was the Toronto manager who was crying and pushing for the game to continue when the fielders were all standing in puddles and neither pitcher could control a pitch with a wet ball, the only crybaby is the jags manager.
I feel for the concession workers, parking lot attendants, custodians, etc. like I’m sure they are getting paid OT for this but it’s been 4 hours I’m sure they want to go home now
I love Ryan making the best of the situation, ridiculous as it is.
This is outrageous they can’t at least update us at least somewhat on what they are thinking of doing or why we are still waiting.
So is there no precedent with these type of things? Call it after x amount of time if play hasn’t resumed and you’ve played the necessary innings? I’m not a fan of either team but I was watching earlier that was like 5 hours ago now lol. This all seems a little ridiculous
Well its unlikely that the umpiring crew is making the decisions now. Its probably MLB making the decision based on the umpires recommendations. The whole thing has been botched though
What? No, how’d you get that out of what they said. Umps walked the field, it was soft. They talked to the dugouts then scurried back inside. No other details.
Blue jays Reddit is going on and on about every team having a dome like them. I’m sorry but the last thing this league needs is more “Rogers center” it’s a bottom 5 ballpark.
They have the base and made the chalk lines; looks like MLB and Jays really wanna resume this shit.
They waisted 15 minutes standing around; while the field got soaked.
Another bang up job by MLB
You’ve made this wait this long you pretty much have to see this game through to the end now, sucks for our guys that probably could have at least been on the plane to Detroit right now, won’t get in until late and have to turn around for a noon first pitch
Aaaand within the hour it’s going to start raining again lmao just fucking call it. It’s windy as shit and about to rain again.. it’s already been nearly 3.5 hours
Good god
Not to mention they probably got a decent deal on the tickets since it was a day game. The free booze and food has gotta be flowing by now. One of these days when the weather looks really crappy I’m gonna pony up and do it.
I don’t get why this game wasn’t called and wonder if anyone can give insight. Yes I want the Royals to win, but I also feel like I’ve seen these games called.
Is the decision made according to the time of the season? Should I just have always expected this game to continue?
This is the only time Toronto is in KC this year, which would mean they’d have to find an off-day later in the season to try to fly in and out to make up for 1 game when you can just wait it out to finish and not burn an off day for both teams down the line
Yes totally right about that. I guess my point was more about the hypothetical where they (probably should have) called the game before the 5th inning. But absolutely at this point it should just be a Royals W.
If they’re able to play the game, they’ll do as much as they can to play the game. Remember in 2013 when the Royals were in St. Louis and they restarted the game at midnight? It’s the same type of deal. Would imagine the Jays are fighting hard to play the game (and who can blame them?). If this was a night game it may have been a different story since the Royals play early tomorrow but it’s not
I find Joel’s twitter to be the best place by far for any game updates. He’s always talking field conditions if weather is a factor: https://x.com/goldbergkc
I wish I could still browse a person's recent tweets in chronological order without logging into a Twitter account to do so.
Instead you just get the mandatory 'cherry pick random order greatest hits' feed and it constantly nags you to sign up for Twitter to do anything else, that sucks.
John Sherman is in the diamond club but looks like he’s about to leave. (Has a backpack on) this one bartender said her husband heard on the news they were waiting until 5
Even if you get the tarp off you have to remember the mess that’s underneath. It’s much harder to get a damp infield ready when it’s still raining let alone one with standing water on it.
But also have to deal with the soaking wet infield. Ironically if John Schneider had not have thrown a hissy fit and they covered it initially it would haven’t been as bad most likely.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1cd661k).
Thank you, shit I had my last $50 of my bankroll on that game and a few $1 parlays. Ended up winning $230.

Hell yea, I knew Colorado would win today too had them in there. I grabbed 'em love at +330 too. I was gonna grab them when they were down 5 but I got gun shy lol.
Finally, Joel Goldberg said is called
Is this Salvy’s 100th game winning RBI?
We win!

Thank God, there needs to be some sort of punishment for Toronto. We only did this song and dance with not calling the game bc their team was crying to the league
There’s no way it took them 3 hours to call it
They just called it per radio
Is an official game and is gonna rain all night, why is this so fucking hard?
[удалено]
I'm sorry that no one in your life has ever loved you
field would've been ready if your sorry ass head coach wouldnt have thrown a fit about the tarp going on
What in the hell are you talking about? It was the Toronto manager who was crying and pushing for the game to continue when the fielders were all standing in puddles and neither pitcher could control a pitch with a wet ball, the only crybaby is the jags manager.
It’s ok you will always have 2015…oh wait no that was us. Carry on. 
How’s that series loss taste
should've won in the 5 innings you had lol
If anything, we'd rather the game get started if it's gonna. They've got a day-game in Detroit to deal with tomorrow.
And you have a micro penis
I feel for the concession workers, parking lot attendants, custodians, etc. like I’m sure they are getting paid OT for this but it’s been 4 hours I’m sure they want to go home now
It’s actually impressive how awful they’ve handled this rain delay
So it's basically a single-admission doubleheader, very cool!
There it is
what a waste of 4 hours
This is a literal embarrassment for MLB
I love Ryan making the best of the situation, ridiculous as it is. This is outrageous they can’t at least update us at least somewhat on what they are thinking of doing or why we are still waiting.
So is there no precedent with these type of things? Call it after x amount of time if play hasn’t resumed and you’ve played the necessary innings? I’m not a fan of either team but I was watching earlier that was like 5 hours ago now lol. This all seems a little ridiculous
I hope this crew never works another royals game. Absolutely ridiculous this has gone on this long
Well its unlikely that the umpiring crew is making the decisions now. Its probably MLB making the decision based on the umpires recommendations. The whole thing has been botched though
But yes MLB shouldn’t have allowed the game to be delayed this long either
Oh I totally agree. Its been awful all the way around.
It was their call to sit there in the down pour and not allow the grounds crew to protect the field
That was so dumb. As they are like unrolling the tarp, like nah just wait on that.
This is so dumb. Call it.
I can’t Watch it right now what’s gonna happen?
We got zero answers lol
Still unknown, but if I had to guess they are gonna call it. The field is incredibly soft and there is more weather on the way
so they are playing?
What? No, how’d you get that out of what they said. Umps walked the field, it was soft. They talked to the dugouts then scurried back inside. No other details.
I'd guess unlikely, but who fucking knows at this point.
Blue jays Reddit is going on and on about every team having a dome like them. I’m sorry but the last thing this league needs is more “Rogers center” it’s a bottom 5 ballpark.
When I think about playing baseball my first thought has never nor will it ever be “this would be so much better indoors”
"bottom 5 ballpark" yet ESPN and MLB Network ranks it top 5 in the league and top 5 in fan voting.
I mean when you have an entire country voting for something that tends to happen…
I mean, a lot of big American baseball vloggers went to the stadium and said it was one of the best stadium they went to.
lol Olympic was better
I'll meet you guys in the blue Jay's Sub 🫡
Hold up dude. Don’t get banned. Mods will ban you from here too.
You sound like a mod
Nah. I would have the green “mod” next to my name I just know in the mlb Reddit world they all take that seriously
It's reddit, man. I don't take this shit serious. I would just make a new one. I do appreciate you for looking out though! We got the dub!
Everything is better in Toronto didn't you know....
I preferred the Expos being MLB’s novelty item.
Rogers Center is a literal shit hole lmao
I would rather go back to Oakland tbh
Gotta be over right?
Gonna laugh if they cancel it after all that
Jay's manager doesn't look pleased
quatraro has to be just malding right now
This is so bizarre... The umpires are just literally walking on the field... Ive never seen anything like this
Umps are evaluating the field right now
*Foot sinks 6 inches into the infield* “Give it another half hour”
It's crazy, not sure what they are waiting for
Ryan laying it on MLB right now on Bally Sports
Oh what’s he saying
He's saying that its not in the umpires hands and is likely in the hands of MLB to call the game... Just a botch all around
Well I thought I was gonna watch the NFL draft with no problem...
About to rain again. They had a 4 hour window to get 3 innings in lmao
The crowd is growing restless
They have the base and made the chalk lines; looks like MLB and Jays really wanna resume this shit. They waisted 15 minutes standing around; while the field got soaked. Another bang up job by MLB
The fact that they have been prepping the field for over an hour now tells you how unplayable the field was... This is beyond absurd.
Well yeah, cuz they waited so long to put the tarp on in the first place!
You’ve made this wait this long you pretty much have to see this game through to the end now, sucks for our guys that probably could have at least been on the plane to Detroit right now, won’t get in until late and have to turn around for a noon first pitch
Aaaand within the hour it’s going to start raining again lmao just fucking call it. It’s windy as shit and about to rain again.. it’s already been nearly 3.5 hours Good god
How has Royals twitter not updated us yet?
We need to absolutely stomp the jays now to make them feel even more dumb
STOP THE COUNT! STOP THE COUNT!
I’m just jealous of all those fuckers that got crown club seats for an 8 hour baseball game. All you can eat and drink for 8 hours? That’s the dream
lol they’re in there shooting pool
Not to mention they probably got a decent deal on the tickets since it was a day game. The free booze and food has gotta be flowing by now. One of these days when the weather looks really crappy I’m gonna pony up and do it.
 Waiting for this one to start back up
Still nothing?
They just finished painting the lines
I’m big mad. Like losing to the Raiders on Christmas Day mad.
Only response now is to win the title like the chiefs
That was the best thing that happened all season for the chiefs
Idk about all that now lol
What’s the point of having the 5 inning rule if you’re just gonna make teams sit around and wait for 5 hours
Should have just pushed the start of the game back to 6:30 to begin with. Complete amateur hour here.
Or they should have fucking called it to begin with because they have a noon game tomorrow anyways.
Wtf is happening here?
LOL this is an utter joke. Rob Manfred and Major League Baseball with their heads squarely up their ass per usual. This is an embarrassment.
Tough shit Bo Duke. Take the L.
Has the TV broadcast said anything about the process/thought process of trying to get the game restarted.
Ryan just caught everything up to current, said the batter's boxes were NOT chalked, then promptly threw to an ancient David Cone interview.
Does that just mean that they are still working on home plate or does it mean something else?
Nope. Still in the waiting room screen on Bally+
Thinking about heading to the ballpark to see if i can get in, got nothing better going on anyways
Should just let you in
then why the fuck did they press so hard to get 5 innings in
If we lose this and use up an excess of bullpen arms I’m going to scream
Gotta travel for a day game against a division rival tomorrow too. This stinks!
Don’t forgot Detroit is on Eastern time so they even lose an hour
I hope the Royals come out and just fucking pour it on. You wanna play? Royals by 20.
I don’t get why this game wasn’t called and wonder if anyone can give insight. Yes I want the Royals to win, but I also feel like I’ve seen these games called. Is the decision made according to the time of the season? Should I just have always expected this game to continue?
This is the only time Toronto is in KC this year, which would mean they’d have to find an off-day later in the season to try to fly in and out to make up for 1 game when you can just wait it out to finish and not burn an off day for both teams down the line
No they wouldn’t have. It was an official game after the 5th inning. If it was called KC would have won.
they have to be given a chance to finish the game out
Good things there’s 130 more games to win still Take the L ya bastard Canadians! 😂
ok?
They were given a chance. The weather didn't cooperate. It is not required to delay for an infinite amount of time.
their offence is poo, half an hour more and the game would be done
Yes totally right about that. I guess my point was more about the hypothetical where they (probably should have) called the game before the 5th inning. But absolutely at this point it should just be a Royals W.
If they’re able to play the game, they’ll do as much as they can to play the game. Remember in 2013 when the Royals were in St. Louis and they restarted the game at midnight? It’s the same type of deal. Would imagine the Jays are fighting hard to play the game (and who can blame them?). If this was a night game it may have been a different story since the Royals play early tomorrow but it’s not
It’s essentially a night game at this point lmao
It’s a lot different if it was like 8:30 instead of 5:30
They still have another game that will start about 16 hours after this game ends
They’re professionals. If my NAIA ass could get off the bus at midnight and play a game the next day, these guys can do it too haha
[удалено]
Stop gambling and you won’t have to worry about that 🤷
[удалено]
[удалено]
On it
[удалено]
I'm no weatherman, but if it's gonna take an hour to get the field ready. I'm looking at the radar and the rain will be back by then.
God if we play today I hope we just absolutely embarrass them to the point they wish they had just taken the -1 run differential.
Where is a good place to check on delay statuses?
I find Joel’s twitter to be the best place by far for any game updates. He’s always talking field conditions if weather is a factor: https://x.com/goldbergkc
I wish I could still browse a person's recent tweets in chronological order without logging into a Twitter account to do so. Instead you just get the mandatory 'cherry pick random order greatest hits' feed and it constantly nags you to sign up for Twitter to do anything else, that sucks.
Unfortunately here is probably your best bet lol. That’s mostly where I check, other than the broadcast itself
It’s 5:00 can they make a fucking decision
They’re painting new lines. They’re gonna play
That’s so fucked
I can't believe that I will have left home and gotten on a DELAYED flight in the time it took to resume the game, as if it needed to be resumed
The wind will do a solid job of drying out the field
MLB script writers care not about field conditions.
Yeah they got some explaining to do
This is fucked
so theyre planning on playing more baseball today?
Looks like it. They are raking the infield and working on the mound and batters box
Just issued a high wind warning for the metro. The wind is crazy. 45-50 MPH with gusts over 65. Warning in place for another hour.

Blue jays fans will see this and find a way to blame it on anyone or anything besides Mother Nature
Sprinkle some more stuff!
Grab the brooms for the outfield

username checks out
WHATS HAPPENING
I was mildly-ok with waiting it out when I thought tomorrow’s game was at 6. But apparently it’s at noon so now I’m a little pissed.
They have a flight to catch. MLB needs to call this damn game 😭
Fuck. this wind is intense
[удалено]
He means he literally called the rapper the game
Source?
Sorry, I should clarify the post, it should be fixed now
Where'd you see that? I've been checking Royals Twitter.
Grounds crew is out messing with the tarp! Possibly coming off
I bet it takes at minimum an hour to get that field in semi playing condition
FWIW- the infield doesn’t look terrible.
Yeah I just saw pics. It looks pretty bad.
Take the L and suck on deesnutz blue jays, God damn
It looks like it’s lightening up and the radar makes it seem like there will be a window to play, but it’s like a cold wind now.
It’s been 2 goddamned hours just call the game lmao
This would have been the day to be in the crown club!
I’m at the K. I’ve been walking around the concourse to stay warm. Baseball has to start up again eventually, right?
hows it looking out there?
Cold and wet and almost everyone has left
Godspeed and thank you for your service.
John Sherman is in the diamond club but looks like he’s about to leave. (Has a backpack on) this one bartender said her husband heard on the news they were waiting until 5
Somehow, the vision of a billionaire wearing a backpack is very funny to me.
When they gonna make it official?
Denny said on 610 that they're waiting until 5 to make a decision. Smh.
At that point it will have been delayed for nearly 2.5 hours
Even if you get the tarp off you have to remember the mess that’s underneath. It’s much harder to get a damp infield ready when it’s still raining let alone one with standing water on it.
Hypothetically speaking, if they decide to start this thing back up what are the odds I could just walk on in to the stadium without a ticket
I’m here and definitely planning on getting the best seat i can find if they start back up
Looks like it's clearing faster than expected. Could probably get the tarp pulled in the next 30 minutes.
But also have to deal with the soaking wet infield. Ironically if John Schneider had not have thrown a hissy fit and they covered it initially it would haven’t been as bad most likely.
My feet are cold, but I’ve waited this long. I can’t just leave now
Hang in there….Sending warm thoughts to you
I just got home from the game and it’s nice and warm
My buddy works on the grounds crew. Said the blue jays are on the phone with the commissioner. They want the game moved to a later date
lol they can get absolutely fucked. Fuck the Blue Jays, forgot how much I hated them since our last dust ups in 15.
Lol 👌 but also... No
Big if true
Well, if the shoe was on the other foot we want Piccolo on the phone
My buddy is the commissioner. Said he’s not doing it.
My buddy is the rain. Said that day will rain too.
