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.

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?

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.

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.

Be careful what you wish for.

      The Marlins are not trading a guy who would be a highly sought after guy for a top 75 prospect, a one year expensive (for them) rental player and essentially a throw in vet in Urias.  That’s laughable.    Even if the Marlins really value the bat of Santander, that trade would get blown away by many other teams.

      Hopefully Ohtani ends up in the NL. How crazy would this be if he didn’t get injured?

      Hyde on the playoff loss: “it hasn’t eased for me”

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Love Hyde. It hasn’t eased for me either. Bradish and Grayson got much needed exposure to the playoffs. Looking back on the juggernaut that Bradish faced… was that actually a “good” playoff start?  Grayson has all the humbling fuel to have a big offseason and learn to become a true #1.

      Is Luzardo a realistic target?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      A Kimbrel signing would tell me that we’re out on Luzardo, and Cease. Wells as a SP. Why give up one of Westburg, Holliday, Mayo, Basallo, Cowser, or Kjerstad? I wouldn’t doubt if Santander, Urias, and Ortiz, was our actual best offer. Kimbrel as closer puts us where we were at the end of September. Wells should be able to build upon his really strong 1st half by able to go another 30-50 IP as a strong SP. I’d feel comfortable if we added Robertson too. The time to get aggressive is at the deadline. I doubt Elias and Co. chose Flaherty over Montgomery. Seems like his hands were tied over Montgomery costing more money the rest of the way. $4 million ish. Elias just knows what to expect this deadline and to leave himself some wiggle room.

      They need to add the ability to trade picks other than the awarded comp picks.

      IMO Bradish, Grayson, Means, Kremer, Wells Kimbrel, Cano, Webb, Baumann, Baker Coloumbe, Perez, Irvin AAA - Hall, Tate, Zimmerman, Akin It makes a lot of sense. We could bring in the Japanese reliever to have optionable depth on the RH side. We could sign Robertson. We wouldn’t have to trade a big piece for Luzardo/Cease.

      Do you care what Adam Frazier has to say?

      By wildcard · Posted

      Do I care what Frazer thinks?    Yes,  he has been around for a while with Pittsburgh, Seattle before being part of a 101 wins in Baltimore.  He has a perspective that is interesting. I like his points about why Hyde is such a good manager.   His comment about Holliday was good to hear.     Glenn kept trying to get him pumped up about the O's being special and Frazier enjoy his time here.  Thinks they are winning group of players, some special moments but overall he wants to be on winning team and says there are other places to win. He know the chances of returning to the O's are slim.   And he also wants to get paid which is not in the cards with the O's going forward. Overall a nice interview.
