Have to think that was it for Wells.

Bryce Harper won the MVP at age 22 for Nationals.  The following year at age 23 he had his worse year and only for hot last month hit .241 still walking a bunch.  Soto had great year last year at 22 arguably could have been MVP if team was better.  Now this season at 23 he is struggling and hitting under .220 but walking a bunch.  The similarities are striking.  

The difference is that Soto has been a more consistent hitter for average prior to this season.

OK for now but rain supposed to be coming through sometime after 8.   I expect we will see the tarp on the field before this night is over.

Tyler Wells may have just pitched the Orioles' first complete game since John Means' no hitter, and our 2nd since 2018 (last one other than Means no hitter was Alex Cobb in August 2018 vs Cleveland).

LOL.  Kevin Brown: “it’s always great to see a grounds crew efficiently roll out the tarp at an Orioles-Nationals game.”

I kind of hope that this doesn't get called, I'd love to see Hays go for the cycle. 

However I'll take the W as well lol

On another note the Rain Delay graphic on MASN has upside down raindrops??

lol, you're right, but is this really a surprise given the production values of MASN.

Also the radar is not looking promising, I'm not sure this game restarts tonight. It's bottom of the fifth and the O's are winning, so would the Orioles get the win or does this game start backup at a later date?

Game is official, we have the lead and the visiting team has batted in the 5th.   If they can't restart, we win 3-0.

But it appears they are taking the tarp off the field,

Watching the game on during rain delay.  Hoiles was batting 9th w/ 25 HR.  Different offensive era and much better team.

I didn't expect the rain delay to be this short looking at the radar, but I want to see Hays hit for the cycle. Then the rain can start back up if it wants.

Resuming at approximately 9:45

We have 4 innings of bullpen to cover.   Krehbiel / Perez / Bautista / Lopez?
