Has anyone in the league been worse compared to expectation than Gunnar Henderson? It's got to be he and Cal Raleigh as the most underperforming bats in the game currently. Just abysmal in every single way at this point. Dude is hitting .219 right now and OPS is sub-700. Just awful

Early season snows in this type of Nino are not very common. I'd anticipate a low chance of anything appreciable until January-March. Just a matter of if we can score anything small prior to that.

Elias needs to go and we need new hitting coaches. It really comes down to a bunch of clowns trying to run the show. Instead, they are running players into the ground. Insanely bad hitting this season. No way around it.

Been saying the same thing. I think a ton of it is a mental issue, but it really comes down to the type of person he is too. He gets upset at himself and that just gets in his head. He really should have a sports psychologist to help him because he gets in his own head all the time. On a technical level, he is chasing so many offspeed pitches, it’s insane at this point. He is susceptible to it and the league knows it. He is a huge reason we are underperforming. Can’t make up that kind of talent.

0.50-0.60” at my place. Still raining. Needed this. Happy for those that got the goods today. Still looking for the gully washer we all could use, but it’s a start!

This is an amazing animation JT. Thanks for sharing! Insane how hot the HI got in that two day stretch. Widespread 110+

That's going to hurt, both literally and figuratively. Idk what this team is going to do at the deadline, except I'm sure it'll be something completely stupid. That I'm almost sure of.....

Summer convection is so fickle. The plot of soil moisture anomalies is pretty textbook across the eastern half of the country. Tons of sporadic wet/dry signals within close proximity to each other. Only a few larger areas noteworthy for widespread wet top layer soil conditions. Need a broader synoptic scale disturbance to provide a more widespread convective threat followed by stratiform to get things to be evenly distributed. Could use one of those remnant tropical disturbances that have been lacking in these parts, outside that sweep over from Ida.

Can the Orioles do the unthinkable before the end of the 1H of the season and put up a 4 game winning streak? Stay tuned!

Agreed with this point. Talking about this at the office the other day a bit. I'm thinking juiced potential is very high within this scenario, so it will take timing cold shots. It might very well be a wet fall and winter, which I am completely fine with. We seriously need some precip around here. My time frame of interest is likely Jan and Feb for something more significant in these parts. I don't foresee any early threats which are not customary in a stronger Nino.

Nothing worse. Going to need a flan to counter

That and the topography out there. A combination of both likely the case. Good ole Mount Airy to Woodbine!

Even if its off by a few degrees, these DP's are no joke added with this heat. It feels pretty close, if not dead on from last year's heat wave in late-June. Oppressive

Can confirm. Dew points in the upper 70s to low 80s over here. It's NASTY

DCA: 97, 100, 99, 98 BWI: 99, 102, 100, 99 IAD: 97, 101, 99, 98 SBY: 98, 102, 99, 98 RIC: 99, 102, 101, 98 Total Rain: 0.31

I just don't want it to be 99/82 in my neighborhood like last June's heat wave. That was ridiculous. It does look like 100+ is a lock in the lowlands. How hot can we get? Stay tuned! I think 102F is in reach for areas just away from the water.

This team despite all their failures is still very much in it because of your last statement. I won't give up on the season as we have the talent to make a run, but my God, the bullpen is terrible and our defense is atrocious. Gunnar Henderson also continues to piss me off. I can't wait for him to suck here and then go to the Yankees on a 6 year 250 million deal and rake like every other hitter we have.

Well, I think this L from the Orioles will be the proverbial nail in the coffin for the season. I don't see how they come back from this one. They might get swept in back-to-back series and fall 9 games under .500 after this one with the Dodgers. They needed to win tonight and had a chance and blew it.

You give me that hemispheric look and I'll take my chances

I hope you have backup plans to sit at Obrycki's

Saw this way too late, but got some excellent responses below. Nothing to add to what has already be hashed out. Environmental conditions thermodynamically were solid for the setup, but we were lacking in shear within the mid and upper levels to sustain prominent mesocyclones to really pack the punch needed. I was skeptical of the risk posed by SPC yesterday. I genuinely think they need to spend a year out here to experience how much we suck at severe so they can think twice. After living in West Texas for 5 years, there's not much that excites me here anymore, severe-wise. If I am excited, you should be too as my standards have been raised after being spoiled for years in the Southern High Plains.

I freaking laugh snorted at this this morning

Great to hear the news, @Ian!! Will be supporting anyway I can and would love to chat in person sometime. Feel free to stop by more!

It's quite impressive to see this signature in our neck of the woods. That's some Grade-A futility right there. Ooof
