No, I was hoping at some point it would stop raining.  Is there going to be another worldwide flood?

Not a worldwide flood, but not a good day for baseball.   They'll be lucky to get one game in.   Scheduling two makes no sense when Toronto will be coming into town again in July.

I want the streak to end as much as anyone bc I am sick of hearing about it.

That said, I thought if we lose tomorrow then we have been swept bc the rescheduled game is now part of the July series?

The streak ending requires the Orioles to lose. Why would you want that?

How many teams in mlb can throw better arms out there over10 innings than Berrios, Garcia, and Romano?  Maybe there’s 5-10 matchups like that in mlb. 

It took all of that to beat us on a game where we had two baserunners other than Adley’s HRs. Hit, walk, ghost runner. 

Literally, everything had to go right for the Jays to beat us in a game on May 14th.

Weather app is showing 45% chance of rain at 11AM and nothing after that.  I imagine we get this in.  

Woo! I’m cutting out of work early to walk over, so I’m hoping that I can successfully play hooky on this one!

So if we get rained out again does it mean our sweepless streak is over?  What if we play and lose?  We only played 2 of the 3 scheduled games of the series.  Hmmmmmm

I think a loss today means the streak is over. 
 

A rainout shouldn’t mean that because 1 game is not a “series”, nor is it a “sweep”, by any definition of the words.

    • There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.  
    • I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.
    • Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization. 
    • The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.    
    • I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.  
    • Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.
    • I care I bet the over on 88 wins, looked like a lock now not so much, come on O’s, daddy needs some new shoes
