Apparently, the Nats made a deal with the devil that they get the 2019 WS win if they agree to have this series with the O's.

In October of 1985, Vince Coleman missed half of the NLCS and all of the World Series when his leg got caught under the Tarp before Game 4 against the Dodgers.

Wow they had an auto tarp unrolling machine in 1985?  And in 2020 we're back to a dozen guys pushing it by hand?

 I don't know how I missed this when it happened. I think I was checked out from baseball a bit in the mid 80s.

This is great. Would be a bit better with a running clock showing time elapsed.

You know, I'm surprised with rain in the forecast, that they didn't just cancel the game in the first place.  That's the Nats normal MO right?

Let's pray that when we go to the automated strike zone that no one gets hurt in the process. I imagine the testing will be a risky endeavor of life and limb. They are a doing cost / benefit analysis as I type this.
