Stowser sounds like a cross between Stowers and Cowser.

I don't understand why they couldn't just cut back in to the game as soon as they realized that the inning wasn't over. I had no idea what I was watching when Santander hit that pesky pole HR.

I'll be shocked if he's not in the lineup tonight.

Apparently not, but Roch wouldn't put up a blog post about it if he wasn't 100% sure.

You're referring to Brett Phillips.

I'd rather keep Akin and send down Heasley. As to who to bring up, that's a good question. I'd say Baker but he's not exactly reliable or consistent.

Or could Mullins & Hays possibly not be at 100% health and the team is just not publicizing it? They both have a track record of relatively frequent injuries.

Kevin Brown said Hyde was hoping to stay away from Coulombe and Cano since they pitched yesterday.

It may not have even landed yet.

They're allowing re-entry for any fans who left earlier.

If they were going to postpone the game, they would have done it hours ago. Considering that the rain is getting lighter now, the fact that they've already waited this long tells me that they plan to play the game today/tonight.

The Royals series starting tomorrow is in KC, not Chicago.

Looks like the worst of the storms & heavy rain have passed Baltimore. They've already waited 3 hours so I expect that they'll play at some point tonight. If they were going to postpone it, I think they would have already done that a long time ago.

Yes, that could work. The Royals have a 2 hour 45 minute flight to KC after the game, so starting that late shouldn't interfere with that.

He just needs to stop talking about the "Swifties."

No, the visit from the catcher doesn't count for the rule that says you must change pitchers after 2 visits. It does count for the overall mound visit allotment of 4 per game, though.

I'm glad it's not just me, but I hope they fix the issue soon.

It's 6:35. I'm trying to watch it but the screen just says "Coming Up." Anyone else on here able to view the game?

Based on the current forecast, it will be tough to get 3 games in against KC. A doubleheader Wednesday starting at Noon should be feasible, since the O's are off the next day and the Royals would have just a 2 hour 45 minute flight to KC after the game(s).

Thanks for posting this, I'm looking forward to watching it since the O's are off.

Ortiz is playing today and is 1 for 1 so far.

Hall is pitching on Saturday, not tomorrow.

Should be fun. I'm looking forward to watching at 2:00.

It's noon and we've heard nothing about the official OD roster or about the status of Nevin & McKenna.
