2003.  I was in the upper deck behind home plate, and I couldn't see Jay Gibbons out in RF through the snow.  And, Gibbons couldn't see the ball that was hit to him shortly thereafter.  After that play (which scored a run), they delayed the game finally.  O's wound up winning in extras, if I'm still recalling correctly.

Sounds right.  I was at that one.

It will be some drizzle today but barely any rain the rest of the day.  Take a look at the radar….the storm is to the east of us and won’t be coming this way.

The weather guy I follow, who is far more accurate than anyone else, is saying the rain should clear out sometime in the morning. That is what the Euro weather model is stating and he believes that to

Btw, this same guy said that they never should have postponed it last year and that rain could happen on the Friday…and of course he was right.

In my complete inexpert opinion, "overcast with rain showers at times", trending toward no rain at all into the evening hardly seems like any reason to postpone the game.

While I do have tickets and while technically either day would probably work for me personally, for some members of my party, Friday would not work, so I'm definitely rooting for it to stay on Thursday.

Apparently things are trending in the right direction in terms of it being dry in the afternoon.

OTOH, Friday will definitely be nicer but it will also be windier. 
 

Would think they still play on Thursday unless something changes with the storm track.

They made the wrong call last year in hopes of having the nicer day. This year, it seems like the nicer day will definitely be Friday but also seems like postponing the game would be wrong in terms of doing it for weather reasons. 
 

Of course, the pre game stuff is also a big deal for OD, so they may prefer to have the nicer day for everything/everyone involved.

I just hope they announce everything by tomorrow.  Pretty sure they did it 24 hours ahead of time last year.

Sorry - don't know where else to post this. 

I saw you had a bridge collision/collapse back there.   I hope you and your families are safe and unharmed.   Scary stuff. 

Will this affect preening day?

Thanks.

If you're taking I-95 South to get to 395, prepare for that to be a disaster. People who live in Dundalk and Edgemere now have no choice but to take either 95 or 895 to get across the river.

They would definitely play tomorrow if it was just any other game.  It looks like it will be dry by game time.

However, since they have all the pregame stuff, it wouldn’t be surprising if they pushed the game to Friday.

And Friday is supposed to be nice. There’s really no reason they should try and force it. If Friday looked crap I’d say might as well try to play.

Except that it has been scheduled for months and people have made plans to attend and Friday is a holiday, which the same people may have already made plans for.

      The game is already tied. If he gets thrown out, the O's still have a runner in scoring position and just one out. You really didn't have much to lose by sending him there, with a chance to end the game.

      Yes.  He’s not a great bunter but at least try it once.   Santander was today’s choker.  He’s gotta be able to hit a freaking fly ball there.

      Same exact question Ravens fans ask every season.  No killer instinct.  In the game’s biggest moments, they come up small.  Exactly what you saw today.  Pathetic

      Should we have gone with a suicide or safety squeeze with Mullins? He might be better at bunting than hitting deep fly balls. Just a thought.

      I agree with the second but not the first. If the first fails, that's an extra out. If the second fails then they just get an out at home instead of an out at first, which is not really relevant with Gunnar going to 3rd. For the first case I'd think you need to be like 80% to succeed for it to be right, but for the second like 20%.

      The Sting of Losing Winnable Games

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      Bump. Tonight's game wasn't just "winnable" -- it would have been one of the top 2-3 wins of the season. Down 2 in the 9th and we come out single, single, walk, double to tie the game and have two of our fastest runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, with our 2-3-4 hitters coming up next.  And our guys gagged. They wilted under pressure. They choked.  Again.  This has happened so many times this season that I believe we need to consider the real possibility that the Orioles as currently constructed lack the character, stamina, -- the heart, if you will -- to win games like this. I think these players fail so often because they expect to fail. I remember after we won it all in '83 reporters were interviewing Ken Singleton in the locker room and one of them asked if the Orioles had been lucky. "You make your own luck" he responded. Well, the 2024 Orioles are making their own bad luck over and over again. How does that cycle of failure come to an end? I wish I knew.

      I know the OH hates Holliday, but it's a no brainer keeping him over Soto. We're talking about bench players who are going to, at most, have a small role in a few games. Soto has no pop and is slow. He's a warm body as it is. Holliday's ability to run can be very useful in the playoffs.
