[Matheson] John Schneider was told the field was “too loose” and couldn’t take any more water. John Schneider disagrees and says it was handled “kind of poorly”. “In my opinion, the field was significantly better than it was in the third, fourth and fifth inning.” #BlueJays

  1. This whole things was a complete shit show by the umps from the get go.

    >Desperately try and play game through bad weather. With mutual off day coming up.

    >Stand around for 10 minutes to decide if they should call for the grounds crew.

    >say the game will resume shortly.

    >call the game after players had come back out on the field.

  2. Total farce. 1 run game with 4 innings left. I can see why the Kansas City grounds crew didn’t want to do their job.

  3. If it took 4 innings to make an official game they would have only played 4.

    It’s clear all they care about was getting the game in.

    Not safety, not the fans, not the players, just the game being official

  4. Today was a display of a ridiculous series of decisions from the umpiring crew. The rain was heavy enough that they could have put the tarp on earlier, waited for the rain to stop, and then had the grounds crew prep the field and play out the rest of the game.

    Trying to play through those downpours ended any chance of a full and complete ballgame and was a total mistake.

  5. such bs why not play the game tomorrow or at least finish off the remaining innings tomorrow… ahh disappointed Jays fan

  6. When I saw a KC grounds Crews fat fuck dump ~75% of a bag of that sawdust type shit and twist the bag to wrap it up before the official rain delay I realized we were fucked.

  7. Umps got an official game in, which I am sure is always the goal whenever possible. Avoids reschedules and doubleheaders.

  8. Teams that can’t afford a roof over their head should automatically lose if the game gets rained out. Buy a damn roof you cheap fluckers

  9. So a game can be called a win after 5 innings? Is Baseball going to be ruined like the NBA?

  10. according to both KCR fans and kevin roth the expected result was a PPD/delay since yeserday

    if you want to get mad at someone, the umps are not it (try vlad or atkins, for example; not for today, but for generally being ass)
