Francona just handled it really poorly. They knew there was going to be rain, then it rained for over 2 hours. True that the game should have never started but he knew it was going to get shut back down quickly by just looking at any radar, and he still chose to put his starting pitcher in to burn him.

I'd chalk it up to really bad luck more than anything. I'm sure Francona was told by MLB that once the game started they would get it in. As i said in a comment above it looked like the rain that screwed things up after the start was going to slide north of Bristol but expanded south enough as it came in to mess things up. Weather has no rules.
