Rain Delay 6/24

[-tz]

If anyone hears anything about when this is likely to be over, please post it here. If it's being discussed in the Game Thread, I can't see it.

[LDG]

Stephsamps is at the Stadium and just posted in the GT that the grounds crew has come out to remove the tarp.

[SheffRocks11]

supposed to start at 5:30

[-tz]

Thanks!

[-tz]

Tarp's off, Kay and Singleton are back on YES!

[Nick]

Is this your 2nd year of being banned? Is it permanent?

[SheffRocks11]

they should just call the game..

[obsessedyankeefan]

Tarp back on the field.

This is gonna be a loooooooong night.

[BroadwayBomber55]

they should just call the game..

Agreed. Safety first for the players.

Shh, can't talk about it. I enjoy the rest of the site.

There's another rain delay now ...

And I missed my chance to take my sweaters to the dry cleaners.

For anyone who missed the first half inning, the Fish scored one on a hit, a HBP and a dubious long single that on replay was clearly to the right of the foul line. A GIDP got Chacon out of the inning.

It really wasn't that clear. Especially at "life"-speed. The announcers needed several camera angles and super slow motion to show that it went foul. Quite honestly, Chacon shouldn't have put himself in that situation with a horrible HBP.

Postponed until 8:00 tomorrow.

Per YES.

[The Dynasty]

Postponed until 8:00 tomorrow.

In the morning?

[obsessedyankeefan]

Postponed until 8:00 tomorrow.

Per YES.

This sucks.

[Yankee Steve]

I believe that the game tommorrow night at 8pm will NOT be on TV. ESPN has exclusive rights to the Sunday night game of the week and it would appear that our game will not be available on YES.

Great I will have to listen to it on radio.

[Yanknut023]

Who is going to be the other starting pitcher besides Moose?

[drjeckyl]

Postponed until 8:00 tomorrow.

Per YES.

I doubt that.. It's supposed to rain pretty much all day tomorrow..

They have exclusive national rights. Local broadcasts are permitted.

[Yankee Steve]

I would doubt that Chacon would pitch. Too bad roles weren't reversed and Josh Johnson didn't get to throw an inning or two before the game was postponed. Means we WILL get him in addition to Willis. RJ should be well rested as he last pitched on Monday. He already had an extra day of rest and I feel pretty sure he will pitch.

[JeffWeaverFan]

I had a ticket for todays game. Is it definitely going to be played tomorrow at 8 PM? And will my ticket stub work?

[Seth]

Just saw on the YES scroll on the bottom of the screen that they'll play a day/night doubleheader with first game at 1 p.m. and the 2nd game at 8 p.m., which I assume that the second game won't be on TV.

[Yanknut023]

Johnson is still serving his suspension. It was 5 games not 5 days.

[YanksForLife]

Yeah we got screwed on that one.

He can't. suspended two more games.

And the game is fully allowed to be shown locally.

[Yanknut023]

Would the Yankees pitch Beam or Smith.

[YanksForLife]

Johnson is still serving his suspension. It was 5 games not 5 days.

I wonder how Wright would do on short rest. I guess we will see Veras back up tomorrow in place of Reese.

[gold23]

Would the Yankees pitch Beam or Smith.

Neither are starters, and would be a bad idea. I'd guess you'd see someone like Villone, or a kid getting called up from the minors. Beam or Smith woudl hammer the bullpen, which you can't do.

As some of us have said, this is a perfect example of needing a legit long man on a club. The Yanks don't really have anyone that can give them more than 2-3 innings in the pen.

[Yankee Steve]

They have exclusive national rights. Local broadcasts are permitted.

Hope your right... but what other network would telecast nationally except ESPN? This is no different than FOX having their Saturday afternoon exclusivity. If another team had a game scheduled at 1:00pm, it could not be seen locally. That is why they schedule games at 4:05 on Saturdays. Maybe ESPN's exclusivity clause differs from that of FOX? I don't know, but on YES when they signed off this afternoon after announcing that the game would be played at 8:00pm tomorrow night, Bob Lorenz specifically mentioned that tomorrows 1pm game would be on YES and only mentioned that the makeup game would be played at 8pm, not mentioning that it would too be on YES. I guess we will see...

So what you are saying is the Yanks should have held on the Small or Erickson for this situations.

Maybe Al Leiter is available.

I 100% guarantee the night game will be on YES, shown locally. If you have MLB extra innings, no luck. And it will be blacked out on MLB tv. But it WILL be shown in the tri-state area on YES. I am absolutely certain of this.

[dabomb2045]

Who from the minors can we call up to start one of the games tomm?

[SheffRocks11]

Not necessarily. What I am saying is that it IS a smart move to have a guy who can throw long periods. I said it when they released Small. I don't think he's a good pitcher at all....but they no longer have a pitcher who can come in after a guy gets knocked out in the 3rd and pitch four innings to save the pen, or someone to start in the event of a DH or injury. It's unwise.

Your ticket stub should be fine; apparently 8pm is the time, but I'd watch the weather.

[SheffRocks11]

too bad hughes pitched last night

[Yankee Steve]

[QUOTE=gold23]He can't. suspended two more games.
Oops... sorry, forgot about that.

[NJ Fan]

Not sure about tomorrow night's game but, in case you didn't hear.....hold onto your ticket, because you will be able to use it for any game next year.

[fredgmuggs]

It's old timers day weekend, I'm sure they can scrape together a few pitchers.... maybe Coney will throw a few, followed up by Gator and the Goose

[YanksForLife]

DePaula would be on normal rest if I'm not mistaken.

[dabomb2045]

I think they will be lucky to get one of the games in tommorrow. Alot of rain in the forecast....

[GoYanks]

[JDPNYY]

I'd throw Cairo in the 8pm game tomorrow. Won't even need a DH then.

[metalboy15]

my guess is that Steven White will be called up, he´s the closest thing we have to a mlb pitcher in AAA.

[flymick24]

they could call up steven white (i believe he was supposed to pitch today but the columbus game got rained out too) or if they don't want to go down that route, they could start ron villone.

[TheMelkMan]

Ron Villone has historically sucked as a starter, but I guess if torre won't use him for anything else...

Really, I'd rather see Steven White called up, and Reese sent down (or Bubba DFA'ed) to clear a roster spot.

I quote from the www.yesnetwork.com web site...
"Due to the ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball exclusivity, the second game of the doubleheader will not be televised. However, as scheduled, the 1 p.m. game can be seen on both the YES Network and MLB.TV."

[YanksForLife]

Chacon is going to start the Sunday night game. If he can't start then Villone will make the start.

100% guarantee? I'm wondering about this, too. (Please explain, thanks.)
