Saturday, May 18: A Wet one vs The Seamen

So pretty....

[SteveA]

Pre game decisions to start, or not, are at the home team's discretion.   Once the game starts it's in the hands of the umpire crew chief.

I'm sure they didn't start because no one wants to start, have a delay, and then not want to bring back the starting pitcher after the delay, because he has too much downtime, and use 7 innings of relief.   So they err on the side of waiting based on the forecast.  That's an Oriole decision but I'll bet the Mariners were happy with it too.

I guess they put pitcher health above the desires of the fans.   Given the $ involved,  I guess that decision makes sense on a cost/benefit basis.  If you are sitting there in a non-rain situation not watching baseball like Denise, I can see how that would be annoying.

I'd rather listen to something called that over a Blink-182 album.

I feel like that actually benefits the Mariners. We can just put in Irvin after the delay, whereas they have to find a replacement for Castillo that can eat innings.

Two hours of Dontrelle Willis, 2003 World Series reliever, on the pregame makes me wonder who other than Cole Irvin goes into the bullpen by the end.

I'm way too much a snob for Blink-182.

I was honestly just about to post this on the music forum.

 

Apparently he's Czech.  I'm not finding links in English.

Anyhoo working on a Peel Session Spotify playlist.
