Yesterday I was joking but I thought I understood the rules...maybe I don't. Help me out here. If a game goes less than five innings it can be postponed as if there were no game.
After five innings the game becomes official, BUT if the home team has not batted last (and they are behind...meaning the visitor has had more at bats at the point of stoppage) when a game is stopped then the game will be continued from that exact point in the game at a later date (nulling any wagers on the game even if the game is official...)
So, if Atlanta is behind and they are the home team and the game is stopped in the top of the seventh after a couple of St. Louis batters have struck out but with a third batter two pitches into his at bat, then the game would be stopped and continued from that point at a later date....right? Wagers would be voided for that game on that day?
Anyone...am I off? If so, a brief explanation would be much appreciated. tulsa
