Question on retractable domes
Does anyone know can stadiums with retractable domes close the roof incase of bad weather to avoid lengthy delays or do they have to leave in the position at start of game?

It takes a lot of time for some of the domes to close
I know in AZ it took like 20 minutes and they kept playing
by West Coast Diehard on Jul 31, 2008 2:06 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
They can close it with approval of the other team and the umpire crew...
typically play is stopped until the dome is closed, however is most situations the other team will allow play to continue during the closing, as some domes can take 10+ minutes to fully open or close.
by lswaidz on Jul 31, 2008 2:06 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
THey close domes in the middle of games all the time
Happened in Toronto when we played the BJ’s
by cubsonWGN4ever on Jul 31, 2008 2:06 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think Miller takes 25-30 minutes for Miller to close

It's at the discretion of the umpire-in-chief
though the ump usually relies on the head groundskeeper for weather reports.
But yes, they can be closed (or opened) during a game.

Harden- 10ks in 3 games as a cub….1.00 ERA

Actually, Edmonds isn't even costing the minimum salary.
He is costing a AAA salary, because he simply took Pie’s salary slot and bumped Pie down to AAA.

I'm sold on the Royals long-term plans.
They have a great group of young, core guys – Gordon, Butler, Grienke, Hochaver, Bannister, Soria – that can truly be special players. The Royals are probably one of the teams I follow the closest since I moved down to Kansas, and I don’t think they intend to be the “farm system” for anyone anymore.

Does a foul bunt
count as a K?

Time to get Harden out of the game. Oh, Lou's not gonna take 'em out.
Looks like he just wanted to give him a quick breather, and tell him to strike these MF’s out!
