Thursday night Orioles game thread: at Indians, 6:10

Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports One of the mysteries of our universe is why an MLB team would choose to schedule a weeknight game for 6:10pm local time. There is not an obvious answer. The Orioles and Indians will begin their game at the strange time of 6:10 Eastern nonetheless - barring some unforeseen delay.

Another, smaller mystery is why the Orioles still have Dan Straily in the starting rotation. I know the obvious answer: Because they don’t really care about winning games this season and nothing matters, so why not have a guy who’s not too great as a placeholder.

Maybe that’s a valid answer for the big picture of the Orioles, but that doesn’t make it any more fun to face down the idea…
