What a total joke that is.

B.tching out and asking the umps to come save your overpriced closer because he's struggling?

They could have stopped it at the top of the inning and delayed it but girardi said nothing and thought he could get the win.

The second his guy starts struggling, he comes out and asks them to stop the game, which they do for some odd reason despite the conditions being exactly the same as the previous 4 innings.

Screw the yanks and girardi, whiny little babies.

If you had told me in January that the O's would be tied for first in late July 2020 with a .667 win percentage, I'd have laughed at you.  Yes, that was tongue in cheek.

Wow, unreal 9th inning in the Bronx. To summarize:

--Yankees led 6-5 when the inning started at 10:36 PM in a heavy rain.

--Chapman walked the first hitter, then went 3-1 on the 2nd.

--Girardi asked the umps to stop the game, which they did.

--Rain delay lasted 3:35.

--Play resumed at approximately 2:15 AM with Yates replacing Chapman.

--Yates struck out the first batter then surrendered HBP, HBP, 2-run single, HBP, BB, 2-run single for a 9-6 lead.

--Yankees go down in the bottom of the 9th without scoring.

--Game ended at 2:45 AM on Ellsbury's flyout to left with 2 runners on, so the 9th inning took 4:09 of elapsed time to complete.

This makes me smile.

Twitter Reacts to Rangers-Yankees Rain Delay: Convenient Timing for Struggling Pitcher

(Sports Day, Dallas-Fort Worth)

http://sportsday.dallasnews.com/texas-rangers/rangers/2016/06/27/twitter-reacts-rangers-yankees-rain-delay-convenient-timing-struggling-pitcher

I remember there was an O's-Yankee game that was effected by the rain and in which the umpires had us pitch and field in the rain and the Yankees didn't have to if memory serves me correct. I think it was when Mora was still on the team.

Melvin Mora got thrown out of the game when the umpires allowed a game to continue in a torrential downpour' date=' THEN called for the tarp to be put on the field after a 2-run single by the Yankees gave them the lead. Mora was going crazy, and rightly so.

I was there (at O.P.A.C.Y.) over a month later, when they completed that game.

The Orioles were down by 2 runs, scored a run in the bottom of the 9th off of Mariano Rivera, added another base-runner, and then Brian Roberts missed winning it with a home run by a few feet (the ball went foul.)

We won the regularly scheduled game right after that, though. My brother Pete (Mets fan) immediately jumped out of his seat, pumped his fist in the air and said, [b']"Yankees lose !!!"[/b] right after the final out.

I still think Toronto is the team that is the biggest threat to take the division away from us. Boston was playing over their heads. Guys like Bogarts, Bradley, and Betts were carrying the team with their white hot starts, but they can't sustain that level. Pedroia and Ortiz will fade/get dinged up as the season goes along.

I think the Red Sox have a lot more means to add to their roster than the Blue Jays.

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.    I won't bump it again, even ironically if we kick their butts in the playoffs.
