IGT 09/28 — Fish in Flushing

[Benjamin Grimm]

So what's the verdict on this game? We know it's not going to be completed, but who gets the win?



Baseball Reference's stats have the Mets at 162 games, but with only 161 decisions. The standings on MLB.com have the Mets and Marlins also having played 161 games.



Nobody won this game? But it's not a tie? Is this how it's going to remain?

[G-Fafif]

MLB quietly shifted it into the win column for the Mets in its At Bat app standings in the last couple of hours, though on a different part of the app, it's still a suspended game and the box score doesn't reflect any decision.

The lack of resolution is driving me At Batty.

[Benjamin Grimm]

This is holding up the season-ending wrap-up for the UMDB, and for Schaefer!



Don't these maniacs know what they're doing???!??!

[G-Fafif]

That additional Mets win/Marlins loss has been deleted from the At Bat standings.

[kcmets]

Has anyone heard anything more on the 'outcome?'



BBRdotcom still has it as suspended and resume on October 2nd.

[Edgy MD]

Yes, the schedule is out. No, I don't know what you mean.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I sent this to Baseball Reference. I suppose I should try writing to the Elias Sports Bureau?

Do you know what is the final resolution of the Mets/Marlins game of September 28, 2023? The Mets led 1-0 after 8 innings. The Marlins scored two in the top of the 9th, but then the game was halted by rain. According to the rules, as I understand them, the two runs that Miami scored get canceled because the Mets never had a chance to bat in that inning. Since the game was never resumed, it would be a Mets win. But it has remained in a "suspended state", with the standings showing both teams having played 161 games. Neither team got a win or a loss. Could it be a 2-1 tie, as illogical as that sounds? It seems that MLB hasn't made any kind of decision regarding this game. Have you heard anything? Thank you!

[Edgy MD]

Maybe they'll resume play in the spring.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I've now sent the same message to the Elias Sports Bureau.

[kcmets]

The Mets official site now has it as a 1-0 final in eight innings.

[G-Fafif]

MLB presents a box score that no longer contains the top of the 9th nor ambiguity, and the standings there and on ESPN have our record at 75-87. Mets apparently won, 1-0, after a delay of approximately 132 hours.

[Edgy MD]

Big news for Hartwig! Bigger news for Anthony Kay!!



Baseball-reference hasn't gotten with the program yet.

[kcmets]

Great win! 75 sounds better than 74.

BB-Ref updates on a daily basis. I would expect to see the result posted there tomorrow and then feel total twelve under .500 finality from this season.

[MFS62]

So now that 75 is the official number, how did the CPF predictions go?

Later

[DocTee]

75 wins. Worse than Pittsburgh AND Detroit.



Sheesh

[Benjamin Grimm]

From the Baseball Reference people:

Hi Benjamin​,​ Thanks for reaching out. MLB have now made an official call on this, and the game will be a Mets win after eight innings as you say. That should be updated on our site soon. ​Best, Aidan​

[Edgy MD]

Aidan is the best.

[kcmets]

have vs has? I'll let all the lawyers and English majors here decide.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Aidan may be British. They refer to groups or organizations as if they were plural, even if they sound singular.

I just realized that the Mets Roster Central database had Grant Hartwig with a 5.05 ERA in 35 2/3 innings. His stats for this game being wiped out gave him a 4.84 ERA in 35 1/3 innings.



A much stronger position with which to enter free agency!
