When will a MLB umpire call a delay of game?

The home team is in charge of determining whether the game starts on time due to rain. When the managers meet with the umpires at home plate before the game, the umpires are then in charge.

Below are snippets from MLB Rule 4.01:

"Unless the home club shall have given previous notice that the game has been postponed or will be delayed in starting, the umpire, or umpires, shall enter the playing field five minutes before the hour set for the game to begin and proceed directly to home base where they shall be met by the managers of the opposing teams."

"As soon as the home team's batting order is handed to the umpire-in-chief the umpires are in charge of the playing field and from that moment they shall have sole authority to determine when a game shall be called, suspended or resumed on account of weather or the condition of the playing field."

Is 6.38 a good time for the 40 yard dash in baseball?

Oh no. Your faster WR type guys will go about 4.4...bigger linemen types with speed like Richard Seymour about 4.8. Anything below 4.5 is above average speed, like a 4.2 is blazing. Shawn Merrimen, a LB ran just under a 4.5 coming out of college, bulked up for the NFL and ran a 4.61 at the combine. I mean, 6.2 might be good for someone not going to the NFL, but that's the only reason I even know what a 40 yd dash is. ahh no i mean how big are you for one thing? a good 40 dash would like 4.3 to 4.5 in high school college and a 4.4 to 4.6 in middle school but no 6.2 sucks man but if you are a linemen or like a grade schooler dont worry bout it
