Not looking good for tonight...

The game will not be starting at 7:05. It's miserable and the tarp is still on the field. No estimated start time has been given yet.

Saw that on the pregame. Amber and Rick look frozen and you can barely hear them over the wind in their mics.

I have tickets tonight, but no way I am going to drag my butt from DC to Baltimore so I can hope that they play and I can sit in 48 degree drizzle for 3 hours. Too bad, I only have tickets to six games. I'm rooting for the rainout, but I bet they will get this in even if it takes 4-5 hours to do it.

Don't be soft.

Sucks to be you. :rolleyes: I'm totally envious. :hearts:

I won't lie: It's pretty awesome — during baseball season. Kind of a dead zone throughout the winter (except for during Ravens games, when Sliders/Pickles are packed). But I work in D.C., so I'm hardly ever here ... that part blows.

Don't be soft.

I'm entitled to be soft. I go to baseball games to have a good time. Fighting traffic for 90-120 minutes to get to Baltimore, sitting through rain delays, then sitting in a wet seat in the cold drizzle and getting home after midnight is not my idea of a good time. 20 years ago I would have done it. If it was September and we were in a pennant race I would do it. But I'm not doing it on a cold night in April. If they do eventually play, I'll be happier sitting on my couch watching it on HDTV.

    • Where are you getting your stats from that's not correct looking at OPS.
    • On the O's this year, Martinez would have been: 5th in OPS 5th in AVG 6th in HRs in 120 games
    • I think PFF is grading Roquan badly because the safeties behind him are playing like ass and it's making him look bad.  If teams are going to attack him over the middle on crossing routes with WRs (like KC did with Rice) he doesn't really stand much of a chance if the safeties behind him don't throw him a bone.  He's still a huge help in the run game.   In general I think PFF assigns a little too much blame to linebackers on passes over the middle, so unless you're an elite coverage guy at LB it's really hard to grade well.  The flip side to this is that teams probably need to adjust their coverage areas to account for the fact that LBs aren't going to be able to hold down WRs for long.  
    • Thanks. This tells me what my eyes have seen with Roquan. He's been a liability in coverage and the fact that Simpson is ahead of him is not good for our defensive leader. Do you have the PFF grades for offense too?
    • What you want is perfectly reasonable.  But you seem entirely to focused on money.  The team needs to work to improve.  I don't care what it costs, you shouldn't either.  They are going to spend money and payroll will be higher next year and the year after that.  We need them to make improvements and some of that is rightfully going to come from within and not cost much. The improvements that are needed are going to cost too, I'm not saying they wont.  But ownership and the GM should simply work in tandem to make sure the team has what it needs.  I am not really concerned about how much that costs because it should be able to be done without jumping this particular team into say top ten in payroll.
    • This is the right approach. the orioles should be spending more money and I believe they will, but I expect it to be measured with less risk (ie we won’t be handing out a Hader type deal or a  long term contract to Santander IMO) improving on some of the obvious weaknesses certainly makes sense.    1x SP: Burnes, Fried, Buehler 1x RH OF/DH: Martinez, O’Neill, Profar 1x 1B: (wishlist) Alonso, Walker
