There weather forecast wasn't accurate and they should never have let this game get underway. This is a huge issue for both teams when it comes to the starters. Now both teams will be in a totally different position and it completely changes the complexion of the series and anyone (myself included) who bet on either team on the series price. MLB needs to get there shit together. This was a bad decision.

[big joe 1212]

agreed

[SportsMushroom]

pretty sure they dont factor 'ruining peoples wagers' into their decisions

but pretty moronic to let a playoff game start when there is bad weather coming

weather forecasts can be pretty accurate these days, there is no excuse

[iceminers26]

I agree LB

Leyland even pitched 2 starters in a game earlier in week to set his rotation just how he wanted it now that has gone to shit

[Mikail]

So who has the advantage now? I see how it poses a problem but I don't see how this gives either team a clear advantage. They will adjust.

[pavyracer]

I'm pretty sure Yankees pushed for the start knowing it will rain so they will knock Verlander out of the game. don't think this wasn't done intentionally.

[wtt0315]

first of all yankees should of been early game. why have texas out west playing in heat then yankees at night on east coast. i know ratings but its dumb as hell.

[forloveofthegame]

well the guy who predicted light showers all game is out of a job

Now that is a good point.

thats the problem right there. it mkaes things complicated for both sides.

yeah verlander was doing so good in the first inning.

exactly. burned for the ratings attempt.

[ebbearsfb1]

cant both these clowns go back out there tomorrow?

they barely pitched an inning.. they shouldnt be such weiners about it.

[pavyracer]

He had a no hitter in first inning.

You'd think so but they won't.

[TheMoneyShot]

LB - I totally agree. I was just saying to myself.... totally foolish on MLB's part.

you answered your own question.... TB a small market while NY is one of the biggest, its all about ratings to these folks, they could give two fks about if it makes any sense or not...just as long as it makes the most money

[Br0nxer]

your right

someone fukked up

but that someone was the yankees

its the home teams discretion until the game starts

then its on the umps

[JMobile]

LB, you wanna come over and play cards???
My ditch my friends tonight to win Tigers mL.

[neverstoppers23]

I agree, 100 percent. Just posted about this in the other thread. They had to seen this coming. I would rather them delay the game 20 minutes and be wrong (of course telling the starters ahead of time), then for this to happen. This Royally screws the Tigers, and their fans. They needed to win game 1 with Verlander. Now the odds are that much steeper without him.

[neverstoppers23]

your right

I never heard that before, that the home team decides when they play.

[eidolon]

Is this another of Selig's doings?

If it is or isn't, this guy needs to go. He has almost destroyed the game of baseball.

[neverstoppers23]

Destroyed?

[will2survive]

MLB dropped the ball in this instance

[Br0nxer]

I never heard that before, that the home team decides when they play.

yes

if and when the game starts is on the home team

once the game starts its on the umps

prior to game starting its the home teams discretion

[lakerboy]

yes

yanks started cause they went with the weather forecast thinking that it would be delayed for a bit and then they could get into the tigers bullpen.

[ShowMeDaMoney]

I read this is usually the case, but during playoffs and last week of season it's up to the MLB.

True?

[MoneyLineDawg]

Who did you take Lakerboy in the series? And how is it that bad, starting pitcher-wise?

Seems to me both teams are very similar when it comes to their starters......CC-Verlander are the aces, Nova-Fister 2 pretty good and solid #2's.......After that, a crapshoot (Scherzer maybe a little better than any other Yankee SP)

I have the Yankees series @ -150 and I'm pretty indifferent about what happened tonight.....teams just gotta adjust, shit happens

I have yanks series -147.

[Love The Action]

What is tomorrow's pitching matchup? Fister v. Nova?

[lakerboy]

Yes

[MoneyLineDawg]

I have yanks series -147.

Why do you think this will have such a huge impact? If anything, I feel like it helps us out

[lakerboy]

How does it help us out? We might get cc only once but then again det will def only get verly once.

Detroit definitely has the edge in the Fister/Nova matchup. With that said, Fister does not have the best history against the Yanks over a small sample size.

The bullpen edge goes to the Yanks, so if they can knock Fister or any other Detroit starter out early, they should have no problem.

I think this series could give the Yanks some trouble. The Tigers have a comparable offense and have been one of those teams that never gives up. I remember a few weeks ago, they beat me for a 2x play when the White Sox were winning by 8 runs and the Tigers came back. They just don't quit.

I think the Yanks win the series when it comes down to it. However, I think the Tigers get one at the least and maybe two wins.

[Rixsaw]

Yes....MLB need to take bettors into consideration and tell 10 of thousands fan to go home and come back tomorrow. You said it yourself, the weather forecast wasn't accurate. It's a fuking FORECAST.

Redsox fans were already told to go home ....
