Even if it's like Irma it should only impact one game at the most. Besides, O's have a better chance if there's no power.

Be safe all OH Floridans.Plan now is a DH on Monday .Play maybe

Tuesday  afternoon or could change based on timing and track.Always make up one game late in the year.

You bastard ........ but if they don't play in Houston, and you are subsequently not at the game, then you are an OK guy again.

Rays set for weekend games vs. #Indians to be played as scheduled (Fri night, Sat night, Sun afternoon). After checking hurricane forecasts and talking w/MLB today, #Rays as of now also planning for series vs. #Orioles (Mon-Tues-Weds) to be played at Trop.

Last I heard, which was several hours ago, the storm was expected to hit Tampa/St Pete Tues night/Wed morning.

Yes,and what I have heard many scenarios in play.Monday for a doubleheader and Tuesday  day game.All could change since the hurricane can hug the East Coast in one of the Eutopean model runs.Still the runs are all over the place.So no one knows till probably Sunday or so.

Close.  The Weds game is moved to Tuesday in a single-admission doubleheader.

What Ernie said, or is quoted as having said, is "We've got the setting: sunshine, fresh air, and a team behind us. Let's play two!" I'm not sure how effusive he would be about a double-dip inside the Trop.

That's why I always root for extra innings. "Free baseball!" More baseball >> less baseball!

    • I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?  
    • 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 
    • 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.
    • 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.
