if a pitcher throws a ball that does not cross home plate between the batter's armpits and knees.

When a pitch is made, it will be hit, or be a strike or a ball. In baseball, the strike zone is the volume of space through which a pitch must pass in order to count as a strike(if the batter does not swing). The strike zone is defined as the volume of space above home plate and between the batter's knees and the midpoint of their torso. Whether a pitch passed through the zone or not is decided by an umpire, who is generally positioned behind the catcher. If the ball is not hit, and it is not a strike, it is a ball.

Baseball regs confuse me but, 5 complete innings is the magic number for a "regulation" game and allowed to be "called" by the umpire. Before 5 full, it's replayed from the start (not a "called" game). Here's where it gets confusing and I'm not sure - after 5 full, the home team always deserves it's bottom half inning to complete if they're trailing so if weather interrupts play, the game is "suspended" until it can be resumed from that point even on another date and with substitute players if needed. Not certain, but makes sense. [Love the game, hate the ridiculous salaries - just spoils it for me, unless I were one of them maybe].

What is the minimum temperature that baseball can be played at?

There is no absolute limit. The head umpire (or, if a World Series Game, the Baseball Commisioner) can call a game if weather makes the field "unplayable." Note that it's the field, not the players, that are important. Player discomfort is a case of "too bad;" a field that is rock solid due to frozen dirt would probably be called.

What happens when baseball World Series game is dalayed due to rain?

If the game hasn't started yet, the home team manager has the authority to allow the game to play or not. I'm sure they do a weather check to find out what the conditions are before making such a call. If the game has already started, it's the umpire's call. Again, they check to find out what the conditions are. There is no set time as to how soon you will find out if a game is postponed. It all depends on the weather conditions and the call by the manager or umpire.
