Ya think, with a game this important, they would stop play for a short while?
Clearly the problem lessened by the 9th and definitely in the extra innings.
I'm sure the umps could have asked for advice. This is not the first time the bug thing has happened in Cleveland.
Ya know, you've got a kid on the mound, Chamberlain...who threw a pitch at 99mph the inning before...who was clearly bothered and wild as all hell. If he would have hit a batter in the head with a pitch, then what?
There were players on the field spraying them selves with bug spray. It's a ONE RUN GAME, in the playoffs. Stop the damn game for 45 minutes if ya have to.
Sometimes I am amazed at the stupidity of people. This was one of those times.
