I wouldn't be at all mad if the O's bunted a guy on in the last two innings.

The pitchers can't hold on to the ball, batters are drying their bats off between their legs between pitches, the left side of the infield is a puddle.

They just pulled the tarp and whoever was on the hill for the Orioles was giving an umpire a whole mouthful and rightfully so.

I wouldn't either as long as it was legitimately attempting to win.

I wouldn't be at all mad if they called the game either the infield was looking like it'd become a swamp any second.

If they had kept the game going to try to preserve the nono I wouldn't have been mad at the O's for bunting either, just get them to call the game so no one gets hurt

gotta love them getting the leadoff hitter on five innings in a row and not scoring at all

also Ross pulling one of their only offensive weapons in a one-run game to "prove a point"

Getting a runner on base increases your chance of scoring runs :smuggo:

In college I worked a bit in event management at a DI school, and had to moonlight as a tarp guy or dirt spreader occasionally. The stuff they pour all over a really wet field like that is a kind of baked clay. From what I saw, when that stuff gets raked into the wet dirt, it'll dry out the top so you can play on it, but if it's soaked enough, just under the surface it's like raw dough. Then by the next morning there's been enough desiccation that the whole thing is loving hard, and the grounds crew has to dig up and rake out the whole thing while watering it.

I'm sure field turf technology has advanced since then, but getting that infield right for tomorrow's game won't be easy.

idk putting in our worst guy when we're up double digits against one of the worst teams in the majors seems like pretty good bullpen management frankly
