Thinking about grabbing field box seats for under $20 from Stubhub in the hopes that the game will be rained out. I went on Saturday, not sure I could drag my wife to another sub-60 degree game, even if the rain held off.

Clever idea.

I've had the same thought and attempted to buy cheap on stubhub but they just refunded me in the past for rain out games.  Would be interested to see if it works for you. 

Really? That is super lame. I have bought tickets on Stubhub to a game that got rained out and they didn't refund me. I had to sell the tickets myself when I couldn't go to the makeup. I wonder if Stubhub only extends the option to cancel sales to sellers who sell a lot of ticket on Stubhub.

 

My guess is this game gets in regardless, with sprinkles throughout the game.

Tomorrow looks worse.  I'm sure they do everything possible to get the game in tonight. 

I was just about to make the same post. I have to think they're going to do everything they can to get in the game in tonight because there's a very good chance tomorrow will be a rainout.

I've done this a few times and never was refunded for a rescheduled game.

 

Specifically did this for an Oakland game either last year or year before and ended up with front row sec 14 seats for under $10 for a game they made up on like a weekday 2pm.

Hey, that is a really nifty idea.  Buy good seats cheap on stubhub just before a rain out, and then go to the makeup game when the weather is nice.  At worse, you would break even  if you resold the makeup game tickets.  I got the 29 game plan but still go to some extra games.

Yeah, I ended up buying tickets yesterday and when my wife made it abundantly clear that she wouldn't be joining me, no matter how great the seats were, no matter how early we could leave, I resold them on Stubhub and made $1.50.

I wonder if it depends if the tickets were truly resold by ticket holder, or ones that the Orioles dumped in hopes of selling tickets?

      Elias on contract extensions

      Gunnar is the only one you worry about. I would still sign Holliday as well but I think Gunnar is the bigger fish to fry. I no longer would consider an extension for Adley. I would wait on anyone else.

      Something that doesn't show up on the stat sheet is something like being able to hit behind the runner to advance him.   The O's have been successful in building an analytics offense.   Focus on hitting homeruns, develop a swing to achieve optimum launch angle and exit velocity to hit the ball over the fence.  Result is they have a team of beer league software players and not baseball players and struggle to score when not hitting homeruns.   Analytically, if you review their offensive rankings for the season, it says, nothing wrong with the offense, at least from a macro review, but we all know that this offense has issues.   Runs - 4th Home runs - 3rd AVG - 7th OBP - 11th SLG - 3rd OPS - 4th  K's - 18th (this was interesting to see considering how much they seem to strikeout) All of the above looks good, nothing to fix. The O's had 6 sacrifice hits for the season, ranking 30th.  Interestingly, Arizona who led the league in runs scored also led the league in sacrifice hits with 34.   The O's do not need to necessarily to focus on small ball, but they do need to be able to add that skillset to their offensive arsenal.

      Do the Orioles need someone like Machado?

      Sounds like Buck. Anything to get a slight advantage. It’s something this team sorely misses.

      Detroit has been so much fun to watch. They have Skubal and literally 11 completely interchangeable pitchers who Hinch uses at any time and in any situation. They all can start games, throw in middle relief, and close. Every Tigers pitcher has to be ready to come in at any time because nobody other than Skubal actually has a defined role, which can certainly help keep them focused.  That guy Holton who started Game 1 in Cleveland closed Game 3 yesterday.  Of course he did! And Hinch seems to have complete faith in everybody, which I guess works since they all seem to have rubber arms and never get tired. It must be so annoying as an opposing manager to try and game plan against them or to be a hitter and have absolutely no idea who you are going to be facing until you actually walk up to the plate.  Not sure how long this "gimmick" will last, but it has been really enjoyable.

      So if Westburg ends up being a very good but not MVP level player you aren't interesting in extending him at a team friendly rate? I disagree with your strategy. If you can lock up even a young 3 win player at a team friendly rate I say do it.

      The most obvious player to extend is Gunnar, his agent is Boras, which means most likely, he will not be interested in an extension.  All others, you have to wait and see.  Adley after that horrible second half, you really need to see if he bounces back.  Westburg, need a full season before locking him up, plus he would probably want a season to post big numbers.  Cowser, wait and see if he learns the strike zone before extending.

      I agree with you on Gunnar. I'd wait on Westburg until he puts up a Gunnar like season, and spend money on Burnes this offseason. Oh and do something temporary to bring the RF wall in 10-15 feet
