I have no issue with the rule


I know it could be a logistical nightmare, but I think the rule should either be completed at a later date or voided altogether if that can't happen.

But as I think more about it, last night was a pretty rare occurrence where the team that was winning when the delay happened ended up losing. Let's say Ole Miss was up 12-1 when the delay happened in the 7th inning, it'd be pretty fricked up if that result was voided. Maybe a rule in place that if it's a case like last night, there has to be a way to finish the game at a later date.

I do have a question. If LTU was up 4-3 going into the 7th, and Ole Miss scored two in the bottom of the 7th to take the lead, but the inning was still ongoing. Would Ole Miss get the win, or would it revert back to the score at the end of 6? If that were the case is there more than 0% chance that Ole Miss would accept the L?

Who doesn't tarp a field during a lightning delay though? It's not like it's some crazy notion that rain may accompany lightning.

In the offseason, they should be able to add an addendum to the rule that the game results in a no-contest if the trailing team ties or takes the lead in the top half of the inning. But they'll probably focus more on trying to shave another 5 minutes of total game time while not addressing the long commercial breaks.

To AwesomeSauce's hypothetical, would they consider the fact that Ole Miss was able to bat in the bottom half and take a lead to qualify as a "last equal inning played"?
