What do you think the odds are that they play today? It's been raining all night and looks to rain up until 2 or 3. Rain seems likely to be pretty heavy at times looking at the radar. Rain chances drop to 25% or lower between 4 and 8. That could indicate a break in the rain that they could squeeze the game into, but no guarantees. Of course, that's 3 hours after the scheduled start time. We've got tickets for the game, but with young kids it is a very long day when you're there for hours with nothing to do.

I have tickets to the game and kids and I'm leaving on a business trip out of BWI at 6pm. Pretty sure we're skipping it. Sitting through a long, wet delay, only to have to leave to fly out and have my wife drive the kids two hours home doesn't seem like a great idea.

You aren't a true fan then. Real fans make their wives sit in rain delays:)

2012 ALDS Game 1. My then four-year-old and I sat (and walked through shoulder-to-shoulder claustrophobic crowds under the stands) through something like a three-hour rain delay and then watched the first five or six innings before bailing many hours past his normal bedtime.

The older you get, the more practical you become. Sitting in rain delays aren't fun and with the fam, very hard to expect.

When I was 25 I'd have probably been leaving at 9:00 just to be there for the gates opening so I could run around the stadium and hang out and whatever. I sat through 2-hour rain delays at BaySox games and never left my seat. I sat in the airport for six hours overnight in Boston soaking wet trying to dry off in bathroom hand dryers after a Virginia Tech/BC Thursday night game in a monsoon.

Now I'm skipping 15 rows behind the plate at OPACY with no regrets.

Well, at least the rain makes your decision an easy one. Sorry about that.

I'd rather it rain out and get made up tomorrow.

Pen could use the rest.

I'd prefer this. However, when the Rangers game was rained out on the 17th, both teams had an off day the next day but they didn't play then. Not sure why but that leads me to believe they wouldn't make up the game tomorrow.

      Good guess. Would be more impressive if they hadn't already announced it!

      Yea, Tiger SHOULD have. He dominated his sport unlike anyone ever has in basically any sport. He absolutely wins way more if he wasn’t a knucklehead, didn’t get hurt, etc….thats not even up for debate.

      I had a feeling we might see Cowser on the bench tonight with Kjerstad getting a start in LF.

      What happens next? Mayo debut or Holliday back up?

      By RZNJ · Posted

      If Mayo comes up, Urias is still here. Hays and Mayo here.  McKenna and Kjerstad down.   If Mayo is unplayable at 3B because of defense but he’s raking, he either goes down or gets worked into the RF/DH mix.   If he doesn’t hit but the fielding is adequate he gets a long leash unless it’s Holliday epically bad.      Lastly, if Mayo is great on both sides of the ball here are some options with Holliday.   He can replace Urias as a backup at 3B and 2B or he can put up numbers at Norfolk. Longterm.  Experiment with Holliday in CF.  He’s got the speed for it and a better arm than Cedric.  If he takes to it, he could replace Mullins as soon as next year.  You could attempt the same thing with Westburg.  Or you could put Holliday at 2B and make Westburg an everyday backup who plays all over.   Or you could trade one of them. I would lean towards the CF experiment for Holliday.   Kills two birds with one stone.

      Should have? Unless you're saying everyone should reach their ceiling even if they have injuries, I don't think your word choice is correct.  Now Nick is different than Tiger. As Drungo pointed out, he basically treaded water after a great start to his career. I can see you thinking he should have had a better career than he did. I actually think that's probably correct, though I assume it's pure speculation on why he didn't in fact have that career.

      First, Kids 2 and under are free no matter what.   Second, Kids 9 and under are free - you just have to get tickets in certain sections with a paid adult ticket.  Usually, they run about $17 per ticket.  So, a family of 4 going to the game would be $34.00.  Thats not that bad at all. The Orioles also do a lot of ticketing strategies / plans to make it affordable IF you do plan on attending 4+ games in a season.  Sometimes you just have to do it before the season starts. What I don't like - is that every year the concessions cost more $$$, the portions get smaller, and the parking fee's increase.  I remember back in 2014/2017 you could go get a pretzel for $5.00.  It was decent size and now of course - its like $7.50 and they changed the shape to a small "O"....  All of that is getting out of control.
