Are totals graded in Rain Shortened MLB games?

[lander]

BHB & I understand that shortened games are ARE NO ACTION, but some Rubber Room whiners are crying otherwise ...

I've ALWAYS understood that sides stand after the game is official & totals ONLY stand after 8.5/9.

.. Any thoughts from the experts?

of course not...this is a no brainer

No Action... also No Action on Run Lines

Thanks guys, I thought this was pretty standard.

Can somebody please explain this to DennisTheWoman in the RubberRoom?

 

[dennistheman]

I UNDERSTAND THAT.
BUT U DID NOT POST THAT IN THE RULES.
SO IT SHOULD BE A PLAY THAT WAS GRADED A WIN.
IF U TEAM WAS IN THAT SPOT U WHOULD HAVE MADE THE RULE ALL GAMES WHITH TOTALS ARE GOD AFTER
THE GAME STARTS.
WHAT OTHER RULES U WANA MAKE UP?
WE NEED ANOTHER EDIT AFTER THE FACT?
WHY NOT JUST ASK US?
NO IM LANDER IM GONA MAKE MY OWN RULES BECAUSE
IM KING OF THE SHIT HOUSE.

Denny,
I didn't say that games are counted if the total ends in an odd number ...

.. should we complain about that too?

Some stuff is obvious - don't be an idiot.

[lander]

Nope, I just telling that it's NO ACTION.

How does one reach "King of the sh*thouse" status?

Inquiring minds want to know.

The first step is to understand the standard grading rules of the sport you are capping

Then you fade your RR <friends> and watch your bank grow.

Pretty simple really, aside from them tricky reading skills

In baseball, the total and run lines are action if the game goes 9 innings, 8.5 if the home team is ahead at that time, even if the game is called while tied after that.

If the game doesn't go 9 (or 8.5 if the home team is leading) innings, totals and run lines don't count. It works both for and against unders and overs. You could have under 8, the total would be 2-1 after 8 innings, the game is rained out and ends at that point. No action. You got screwed. Too bad. You could have under 8 and the score was 15-12 after 8 innings, and the game got rained out. No action. You got lucky. Same way for overs. You can get screwed or you can get lucky. It doesn't just work one way.
