I feel like there was a lot of optimism. I seem to remember @ORH_wxman, @CoastalWx, and others from NE being in our forum a lot. There must have been optimism because I made a 39” snow stake on a snowboard early in December. And yet it still got buried in February.

I haven’t brewed in awhile, but that was my favorite pumpkin clone to try to imitate. Went to Heavy Seas tonight for the first time in forever and they’re doing some big beers that are pretty good!

AL East went 0-7 in playoffs.

Heading to TX for the total in spring. The shot below is from Lincoln City, OR, in August 2017 off an Iphone.

Both of the Ravens losses this year were giveaways.

Brutal drop there.

Flowers is going to be a beast. I love how much fun he has on the field.

A buddy of mine has tickets to the O’s game today but can’t use them because his kid’s soccer team refuses to lose in a tournament in PA. Debating whether I want to go. Well, debating if I want to spend that much $$$.

Cmon man. It’s game one. I’m sitting at a bar and everyone is so tense. It’s been a great year. We’re young. Everyone relax.

What are the O's fans doing for the game tomorrow? Who's going? This is about the only time that I miss being a beer vendor at Oriole Park since I gave it up about five years ago. But I'm okay with watching from my part-time gig at the brewery while tending the beer taps.

This is the best I can remember Lamar playing. Not trying to do too much and great accuracy with the pass.

What’s up with the Bengals?

Lantern flies here.

We were neighbors. I was in 8.

What a game! And this play?!?

Brutal.

Dreary night. Just got home from the Annapolis area and heavy drizzle to light rain everywhere. Good night for the O’s to be off.

That non-call was pretty bad.

1.93” and still counting.

I am waiting for the pivot before calling this done.

Perez!

I think that’s typical, and it’s probably not as bad overall this year with the rule that pitchers have to face three batters unless they end an inning. Someone more knowledgeable than me might have more to say, but I think the biggest problem for the O’s is that most, if not all of their pitchers are in uncharted area. They’ve never pitched this many innings. They’ve almost all over performed at some point this season but as @Chris78 said, they are taxed. Hopefully they can win the division and get a week of rest. Otherwise, I don’t think they’ll go very deep into the playoffs. Regardless, it has been a fantastic year, but it would be disappointing to get this close to the division title and not be able to take advantage of the advantages that come with that.

I thought this break was modeled yesterday. If they’re right, should start again early afternoon, another break, then decent rains this evening and overnight. Wait and see I guess. But plenty to do in the meantime.

We likely caught a break playing that four game series against the Rays as they were finishing up their own 17 straight game stretch. The difference though is their pitching depth. They are better equipped for that kind of schedule. I wish that the O’s had addressed the pitching a little more at the trade deadline. Flaherty hasn’t been good, but maybe he can offer us some long relief today. Means can’t, or shouldn’t go more than 80 pitches. And hopefully we get a quality start from Gibson tomorrow.
