So,.... where do you bat Henderson in the lineup when Mullins comes back?  And what do you do with Hays?  You can't push your best hitter down to 6th in the order.  Against lefties, I would go Mullins- Hays-Rutschman- Santander-Henderson as the first 5.

I'd have the same order against righties.   Spots 6 and 7 would be reserved for 2 of O'Hearn, Mountcastle, Urias, and Hicks.  8 and 9 for 2 of Frazier, Ortiz, Mateo, and Lester

There was an announcement over the PA at the stadium that they are monitoring the weather and might have a delayed start.

The field is covered by the tarp

7:29pm still covered…. Radar looks like a cell is moving northeast over Baltimore city imminently. Very foggy out by the skyscrapers.

Is the grounds crew stirring? Not sure….

Does it look like there will be baseball tonight?  That sky doesn't look promising

Absolutely, the forecast shows that there will be no rain within an hour from now.

I predict a start time between 8:30 and 9.

Going to be rough trying to catch them in the second half when they have so many more off days to rest up in the heat.
