Looks like the tail of this system could sweep across Baltimore tonight. But things change pretty quickly. Ugh... would hate for another delay. Already a late start to begin with.

But didn't even think of a possible day game tomorrow. I think we'd be able to swing a night game tomorrow, but definitely not a day... bleh!

As blessed as our season has been, it seems like our post-season is a bit... cursed.

It's a big system of rain and storms. But if you look at the radar map, it looks like Baltimore might luck out. As of right now, it appears that the storms are heading northeast of the city.

Let's all cross our fingers and go do the rain dance to Seven Nation Army. Oh wait, some people don't like that.

Everything is moving NE and right now, Baltimore looks to be in a good spot. We might get some rain, but the bulk of it looks like it will go North or South of us.

I am going to take a shot at amateur meteorology. It looks like we have an upper level low coming in from the west and another low developing off the coast. Right now we are stuck in the middle of both.

I don't believe the storm off the coast will affect the game. The rain out west is not making a lot of headway east and appears to be weakining slightly. Two things normally happen here with this set up.

1) As the west storm moves closer to the developing storm to the east rain will fill in which could cause several hours of showers/ rain this evening and tonight.

2) The moisture to our west begins to weaken as the moisture starts transferring to the developing storm to the east which would leave us with a couple of passing light showers or drizzle.

I am trying to be optimistic as I have tickets to the game tonight. I am leaning towards #2 happening however as I said I'm not a paid weather man. If #1 scenario happens then the game could get postponed.

Regardless I don't think this gets called early. All of us with tickets will probably need to show up and see what happens.

Since I last checked, weather.com has lowered the chances of rain at 8pm from 50% to 10%. 9pm is still 40%, increasing to 50% by midnight and 70% at 1am.

Updated weather now showing only 10% chance after 5:00 thru 10:00, then it goes up to 50%. Hopefully this trend continues...

We better get an early lead then.

Can you imagine how pissed the MFY would be if we win 1-0 in a rain shortened 4 and a half innings!!!!!! Or are there different rules for the postseason?

      How should we look at FA contracts going forward?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I would prefer not to do a 7 year deal. But my point is if not Burnes than who? How long are we going to be able to trade for 1/2 year rental types (like he currently is)?  If we allow Burnes to walk in FA, then we are going to have to sign someone (who won’t be as good). OR trade one of our top level prospects for a Luzardo or maybe one of the Mariners young controllable starters. If the Reed Sox were allowed sign a Burnes and we do nothing or go with some kind of patchwork Kyle Gibson signing, they would be real close to catching up to us.

      Obviously, the years/dollars matter in regard to Burnes. I can see where Burnes might be the next in line to lay claim to the Verlander/Scherzer crown as one of the preeminent power pitchers of his time...that is to say he goes through his 30s and comes out the other side as one of the top 5 pitchers in baseball for a decade or longer.  He's been durable, he seems to prepare himself in the way that those guys do and I think he will last.  Of course, it's not my money. I don't know how the new ownership group will approach free agency and quite frankly, I'm not sure if I really care at the moment.  I'm sure I'll care in the offseason, though. I will say, I'd really like to see the new ownership spend to lock up the talent we already have before spending on free agency.

      Dean Kremer 2024

      Completely agree. Not sure what the analytics would say, but to me (from TV vantage point), Kremer’s best stuff comes by two pairings: (A) 4 seam 95mph at top of zone and curveball, and (B) splitter and 2 seamer at bottom of the zone.  Both probably tunnel in the same way to the batters.  And his cutter should be reserved only for jamming lefties on their hands, bc he hangs far too many meatballs against righties.

      How was the weather?  My recollection was that he didn’t have a feel for it that game and had trouble locating either for a strike or close enough to get a chase.

      We can just say impact = well above replacement level. Kremer is a great guy to have as our #5 as he would have been on Opening Day if not for the aforementioned starter injuries. I'm sure no one really thought Bradish would be AL Cy Young-4 in his second year in the MLB. That's a fantastic hit by Elias. That and getting Gunnar in the 2nd may be the most impressive things Elias has done?  To answer your question, no I probably didn't think much of Bradish when we got him as an A Ball pitcher. Would I have bet he individually would be elite? No. But would I bet there'd be an elite pitcher in all the pitching prospects we got back for Manny Machado, Zach Britton, Jonathan Schoop, Kevin Gausman, Darren O'Day, Dylan Bundy, Jonathan Villar, Miguel Castro, Jose Iglesias, Cole Susler, Tanner Scott? Well I'd hope so. Out of them we got Bradish, Kremer, and Tate (1 elite SP, 1 decent SP, 1 reliever and a bunch of names we've forgotten). I'll take it. We'll see what we get any SP's out of the Trey Mancini and Jorge Lopez hauls.  Now we're in a different position where we aren't selling off assets to get back dart throws. At this point, our conversation will get circular but it will take value in prospects or value in dollars or some combination of both to get more elite talent in the rotation. Don't expect to give middle tier contracts out and get back elite level performance. And I don't think we'll be able to maintain this ridiculous level our farm system is at forever. And we won't be able to have the luxury of sending off 12 years of Joey Ortiz and DL Hall type players for 1 year rentals every year.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I actually think you hit on it.   The more realistic extension candidates are Cowser, Westburg, Kjerstad, Mayo, and Basallo.
