Got sorta skipped but about 0.25”

Swing and a miss

Yup. Looks like a MD split unless something changes in a hurry.

Come to papa

Hi SE friends. I’m in OBX this next week for my first ever visit. 76 with a lovely breeze right now.

Basallo is fine to stay in Norfolk. He still hasn’t caught that much. But 2 weeks could make a big difference for Beavers if it included regular playing time. Every single O’s prospect has required 100+ ABs at the MLB level to start getting into any sort of rhythm.

Trade seems to be early fall cold front with gorgeous weather or cat 5 up the Bay

Beavers isn’t even a top 100 prospect right now. So this roster manipulation bullshit is all for the vanishingly small chance that he gets added to those lists at the end of the season and then wins RotY in 2026. The big deal is that management is prioritizing this microscopic chance of an extra 2027 draft pick over the CURRENT FAN EXPERIENCE. They’re raising ticket prices and forcing fans to watch an outfield of Greg Allen (who??), Dylan Carlson, and Ryan Noda. If you had a healthy high-performing outfield this conversation would be moot. But it’s not. Your outfield is decimated and you have someone who’s knocking the cover off the ball at AAA.

Total bullshit

I cackled

Sunny 79/59. 10/10 for August

Wow. Sky seems much clearer here today than the last few days.

Hugo redux on HH GFS

Looks beautiful for my OBX week now. Hopefully the cat 5 up the Bay hold off until a few days after I get home so I can get my insurance squared away.

It was a windows open drive to work

95-96 top analog yet?

Yeah the forecast for the whole week has improved dramatically in the last couple days. Fingers crossed.

If it’s still hot and humid with no end in sight by the time I get back from the beach in 10 days, I am going to be insufferably whiny.

12z guidance (and going back to overnight runs) mostly want to washout the SE coast tropical low or pull it northeast out to sea. Either option looks good to me!

Nina-ish precip pattern, but the longwave pattern is workable for some cold air availability. Could be much worse.

Very northern end. Sounds good. I can deal with a day or two of rain, but need some dry weather after that.

I’ll going to OBX on Saturday so I’d rather not do all this
