Hoping for a rainout tonight

[crowmst3k!]

Just to allow the O's to get their bullpen back in order, give everyone a day off on this brutal, long schedule. Currently, the O's are scheduled to play (including tonight) 15 straight games.

For once, I wouldn't mind a rainout. I think it would do everyone some good.

August 20-22 double header then. The 23rd is the only day they have off in a 27 day stretch so just as well Texas has a game that day.

There's the Caps game tonight, so I wouldn't be too upset about it.

But I think the BP should be fine at this point. Everyone but O'Day and Ayala have had 2 full days.

Its amazing they havn't had any rainouts yet, remember last spring? seemed like we got rained out every other night.

Accuweather says there an 85% chance of rain between 6-9 tonight, anyone know what its doing right now?

Got the tarp on the field right now. The O's sure could use the night off. Radar doesn't look great. But they could get it in if they have to.

That's a road series, though. Would you really want the Orioles playing a "home" game in Texas in August? Despite the arguable benefit there may be due to the sudden maelstrom involving the rotation, there could be something worse occurring then. Add to that all the hell that would be raised regardless. If there's a doubleheader, might as well have it in Baltimore tomorrow and get it over with.

I don't want a rain delay cause it'll likely be a doubleheader tomorrow. That would allow our bullpen to rest, just to get taxed again tomorrow before the Rays series. It also doesn't help our battered rotation cause we'll still need an arm for tomorrow (one of the games) and Friday.

A double header tomorrow would be murder.

[The Rick]

A double header tomorrow would be murder.

Encina just tweeted that that would be likely. He also said a common off day re-schedule is another option they're discussing.

[crowmst3k!]

I feel very foolish having suggested this as, yes, a twin billing tomorrow seems like the likely scenario. That would be far worse.

[Nigel Tufnel]

Game is rained out. DH tomorrow.

[Gurgi]

Chen is going to have to go 6 or 7. Against this lineup this could be a bad day tomorrow.

You think they could do another 30-3?

[RavNMadMan]

Game is rained out. DH tomorrow.

That decision is very disappointing. As someone suggested we may end up going into the Rays series on fumes. Just plain bad luck.

That would knock O's fans back down to earth, wouldn't it?

Be careful what you wish for.
