PM>-=> Tom Young took a called strike three for saying to Mark Yoder <=-
PM> TY> Suspended games stats count for players, even though they might not
PM> TY> figure in the standings.  If two games were halted by weather or
PM> TY> darkness or time (can't start an inning after a certain hour) and not
PM> TY> completed (say they were the last game of two series) if the
PM> TY> completion of the games would not affect the pennant winner, the 
ames
PM> TY> would not be completed, but would be counted as a game played and the
PM> TY> stats count for the players.
PM>Suspended games are almost always completed later in the season, and the
PM>records from the game (both the original part and the part after the
PM>suspension) count. Usually, the completion of the game doesn't depend on
PM>whether or not the game affects the standings. Suspended games always
PM>show up in the standings.
PM>The usual reasons for suspending a game are: lighting failure,
PM>sprinkler malfunction, curfew. One famous game was suspended due to pine
PM>tar.
PM>Games are NOT suspended because of weather. Games are STOPPED because of
PM>weather. If the game is a legal game (losing team had 5 at bats), the game
PM>counts in the standings and records are retained, or is a legal tie game.
PM>The game is NOT resumed at a later date. If it is not a legal game, it
PM>does not count in the standings and the records from the game are not
PM>counted. Tie games, and games stopped before they are legal, are
PM>rescheduled and replayed from scratch, unless they are late in the season
PM>and don't affect the penant races.
Mea culpa, thank you for the clarification.
