2024 Game Twenty-Six: Royals 2, Blue Jays 1 (F/5)

 

guys it is too rainy to play catch right now

A genuine debacle of a rain delay: three-hours and thirty-eight minutes! And then they didn't even resume play! Just call it! Before any of that! Really, it's amazing they got the four-and-a-half innings they needed to make the game official, dumping all kinds of extra dirt all over the infield to try to dry the pools of standing water that had much of the infield, like, lagooned-up. It had that optimistic but doomed "it'll probably be fine once we rake it" minor baseball/softball energy. A fitting anticlimax to an uninspiring trip to Kansas City. I should note that Dan Schulman and Buck Martinez feel that Kauffman Stadium has the best soft pretzels in the league; I hope this is information that you have a chance to make use of someday, dear reader.
