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.

      I think there's something else beyond the injuries,  but a person would have to be naive to think this lineup wouldn't be drastically different with even 2 of the RH hitters on that list.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      Also, our Bad Manager had Mullins bunt with men on 1st and 2nd and nobody out precisely…two games ago, on Sunday in Detroit. Fouled off the first two, then flied out rather meekly to center field (advancing the runners anyway on nice tag-ups by Soto and Henderson). But then Santander popped up and Kjerstad hit a weak tapper back to the pitcher, so we went empty. Gave up an out with one of our hottest hitters — just to set up two dudes who couldn’t come through. I didn’t see Hyde getting too much praise as a Good Manager for doing that on Sunday. If he’d gone right back to the same strategy that failed a couple days ago in the exact same situation, then we’d be telling him “job well done” this time? Only if it worked, I’d wager…

      Different era obviously, but Rochester AAA manager Earl Weaver replaced O's skipper Hank Bauer in '68, just a year and a half after Bauer won the World Series.

      A good manager would have instructed him to bunt Well not for nothing, but I would like 100 dollars for every time a Good Manager did not bunt with first and second with nobody out. Now if the SF pitcher was LH, I would be onboard. If they were down by 1, maybe. Why would you not let Mullins hit there?

      Putting aside the issue of “not counting” stats that don’t fit the argument, I’m curious who he would have had hit there. What were the other options? Eloy Jimenez (1 for his last 23) Coby Mayo (3 for 37 with 21 Ks as a pro) Jackson Holliday (0 for last 22 vs LHPs  with 12 Ks) Livan Soto (~.600 career AAA OPS vs LHPs)   Not saying Slater was some slam dunk pick, but I honestly don’t really even understand how folks can criticize Hyde for those types of decisions anymore. Every lever he has available to pull is clearly marked *WRONG* in flashing red lights.

      Is it really the injuries?

      People born in 1984 are 40 now and have never seen the O’s get past the ALCS
