Finally, after tomorrow, broadcasters and fans alike won’t have to create garbled and rambling sentences to account for “...and the completion of the suspended game on September 6th”. Saturday morning we will wake up to a team whose “games played” total is an integer, not a fraction.
And as that day approaches, the A’s find themselves in a slightly awkward position not of their own making. Liam Hendriks is on the mound, thanks to all of 4 pitches he threw before the rains came — oh wait they never did — so he won’t have the 9th, but presumably he’ll have the 7th.
