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?
I think they have to do it between innings

Let's hope these bats travel well to Milwaukee -- Lou
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
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.
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
I think Miller takes 25-30 minutes for Miller to close
Evey Hammond: Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici. V: By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
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.

the best minimum-salaried, former hated rival, midseason pickup EVER

seriously. NO KIDDING. good job, jim hendry!
I think it’s just his face. - dat cubfan daver
by halfblindcubbiegirl on Jul 31, 2008 2:08 PM CDT up reply actions
think about his pickups this year (after spring training)
Johnson- DFA minimum salary hitting .286
Edmonds- DFA minium salary hitting .280 as a cub with 12 HR!
Harden- 10ks in 3 games as a cub….1.00 ERA
i am sure i missed someone….oh, the Shark has been pretty impressive as a callup
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've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
i don't know how that works out for Pie....do they get percentage for
which ever team they play for, or is it based on MLB experience.
For FAs
Arbitration is simply an agreement to settle any potential impasse while staying with a team. The 20% cut rule, and the salary comparison rule don’t apply.

I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling, so why don't we just ignore each other til we go away.

Disagreed
Ward is not having a great year, but he’s a vet that has had success in a PH role. Hoff has only had a few PH appearances. And, as bad as a fielder as Ward is, a more competent OF than Hoff.
