Going for the Sweep (vs. NATIONALS, 8/09)

[orioles22]

I wonder if the game would have already been called if the Nationals were ahead. The ground crew's struggles should have ended it.

How long do they wait?  I mean, are we going to restart this after three or four hours?  I know the Nats don't want to throwaway a comeback attempt just because of the incompetence of their grounds crew, but come on...  enough is enough.

Depends how long the fans stay. They don't want to lose out on concession sales.

Rays take 3 of 4 from the Yankees then?  After the Orioles swept them?

Have to assume they want to beat the traffic.

Yep, baseball is back.

Red Sox walk off vs. Jays. Non-compliance on the social distancing at the home plate celebration. Let's see if MLB is serious about their enforcement of this (their strict memo from earlier in the week).

Heh.

In the meantime, several members of the Cardinals staff have visited the ER room.

Rays score off Britton in the bottom of the ninth to beat  NYYs,, 4-3.  Britton seemed reluctant to  use his breaking  ball with a man on third after Sanchez missed one.

Rays  were down 3-0 in the seventh.

O's and Rays now two games behind.

Shows the real value of having someone like Severino behind the plate.

If I'm Hyde I would have liked to take my W and gone home.

Are they starting up again?

[O-The-Memories]

Can someone explain to me what exactly happened? Did they just botch getting the tarp out? I went away for a bit and missed all of it on the radio feed.

Edit: Nevermind, just saw the video posted. LOL, the music makes it even better.

Hyde taking cell phone pics of the infield is just classic.
