Current forecast is heavy thunderstorms rolling in to the Baltimore area at 8 PM and lasting several hours.  They won't get a full game in before the rains come.  Hopefully the O's take an early lead and make it through the top of the 5th before the storm hits.  Otherwise we could wind up wasting Burnes' start.

I think in that situation they may finish the suspended game tomorrow. A 1.5 game doubleheader, similar to what happened in STL earlier this year. 

So we can get swept in the same manner by a NL Central team? Awesome!

Depending on the exact expected timing, the O’s might be smart to use an opener tonight and then bring Burnes in after the inevitable rain delay.  I’d hate to see him pitch 2-3 innings and then not be able to continue due to the delay.

Wise beyond your years.

The line looks like it won’t hit til around 8 that is probably 5th or 6th inning.  I think you just roll the dice and hope he gets 6 innings in.

There have been a few times this season I suggested this and everyone said it was a dumb idea because the weather is too unpredictable. I think it's a great idea but the rain may be coming too late. We don't want to be stuck with Irvin for 3 innings and then end up wasting Burnes in a game that's already out of reach. Will need to study the radar and make a game time decision but I would bet Burnes starts.

You could roll the dice tonight with the thought that if he ends up with a very low pitch count then pitch him on short rest on Sunday vs the Yankees.

He's not pitching on Sunday then again in the All-Star game.

Obviously he wouldn’t pitch the All Star game in that situation and that shouldn’t factor into the Orioles plans whatsoever anyways.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By 1fingerwillie · Posted

      Baltimore and DC surrounding population around 9 million. NYC around 24 million.

      This is accurate based on pockets.  But the Yankees have positive Cash Flow even with the huge payroll, because they are the richest franchise in the MLB.  The fact that the owner can fund higher salaries is certainly important, but it isn't the same thing as team revenue.

      These two paragraphs are not congruent.  I disagree that the Orioles have to resign Burnes.  I think they should be in on him, but they don't have to sign him. I completely agree that if they do not sign him the have to have another TOR.  I think counting on Bradish to return is a poor decision.  You hope so, but planning on it would be weak.  Same with assuming #2 status for Rodriquez.  His case is stronger of course, but still.  We have some depth IF we have a TOR and that should be Burnes or someone comparable.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.

      I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.

      It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.
