Why are we acting like someone's pulling something here?

I'm guessing the Red Sox want to be extra cautious with inclement weather given the reduced capacity (12%) at Fenway right now and the less-than-modern architecture (wouldn't be good PR to have everyone crowded together in the concourse)

Those are tiny concourses.   Even smaller than the ones at Memorial used to be.

It is definitely a bummer but that is why they have the built in Friday off day. Looking forward to Orioles baseball being played every day until the home opener. 

Yep.   And I wasn't going to be able to watch the game today, I'm still at work.

Tomorrow I think I might get in early and then take a couple hours off and get an early start on my weekend and watch the game.   So I like the rainout.

Same, I'm off tomorrow and was sort of bummed I wouldn't have an Os game for the day off.

One of the oddest feelings in my life was going back to Memorial Stadium in 1996 for Ravens games. After 5 seasons of Camden Yards opened going back was crazy. It was like how did we deal with this all those years.

The Orioles beat the Royals on Opening Day in 1997. Just looked up box score. I remembered they won and who it’s was against.  
 

The losing pitcher that day for KC became a future Orioles player years later. 
 

Who was it? I never would have got it. 

Jamie Walker was the answer  I could have guess for a month and not got it.

For what it's worth, I watched the Penguins vs. Bruins hockey game on the Pittsburgh sports channel this evening.

Penguins announcer Steve Mears said the weather in Boston was just awful.  He said the Pirates, who played in 36-degree weather in Chicago earlier in the day, were probably glad they didn't have to play in conditions the way they were in Boston.

What f'ing weather?

30% chance of rain up until 11 am and then it's like 45 degrees and cloudy the rest of the day.  As opposed to the 43 degrees and partly cloudy that's forecasted for game time tomorrow. 

 

 

Sounds like our typical MLB Opening day weather. :)

    • McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.
    • I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it. 
    • Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.  
    • Jeff Tackett was also part of the single-worst baserunning display I've seen in my entire life.  No exaggeration.  I was at the game with a friend who was at her first baseball game ever, and she asked me what was going on.  I still have no idea. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1993/04/18/three-man-jam-at-third-costs-the-orioles-7-5/7eb4c3d6-545f-481a-89f4-9bc0036ad89a/
    • No doubt, I'm expecting that from Mateo. But sub .600 with worse defense is a possible outcome for Holliday this year. I hope it doesn't happen but I don't think we can rule it out.
