I forgot where I read it, but there was a suggestion to hold the draft in August, after the Summer College Leagues.
Makes sense to me.

Kinda why I posted it. NO baseball (shoulda had a MASN TV game last night and coming up Sunday grumblegrumblegrumble) and if there WAS baseball we'd just be getting our asses kicked! Gerritt Cole Opening Day was going to be no picnic... No chance of ONE day even in 1st place undefeated.
Reminds me of the time Roger Clemens predicted throwing a no-hitter against the O's on opening day and we kicked his roid-raging ass.

This is the video I wanted!
This is a great tonic for tough times. Thanks for posting.

So many questions. Here are two:
- If they keep the players working out together, will they start paying them at some point? This could be critical for minor league players.
- If they break up camp, even though they won't be playing, will players on visas risk deportation if they don't leave the country?

Question about the poll and the last option: if the 2020 season doesn't start in 2020 is it really the 2020 season?
If there is one less year on Davis's contract afterwards, it's a season.

Im pretty sure that is already happening
There is no evidence of this happening on a coordinated national level, so I'm pretty sure it's not.

As interloper says below flattenthe curve. Healthcare treatment capacity could be greatly benefitted by taking every precaution. Even if the exact same number of people got it but over a longer period of time it can still stay under the healthcare capacity limit.
Put it this way, I know some healthcare institutions are looking at their stocks to determine if they have enough preventative gear (masks, gloves) for their healthcare workers to provide care and its close. The less the general pop has to use (for instance not having 1000s attend baseball games with masks on) the better.
If we don't make a national effort to flatten the curve we likely will have multiple pockets where the caseload is too great for the hospitals. It will resemble what's going on now in northern Italy.

They should stop playing exhibition games now, or play them with no fans in the stands.

Thank goodness this list doesn't include anyone we'll be counting on in a few years.

Elias is probably happy that some fans are encouraged more than last year.

Though Roch used the word "surgery" in his initial tweet, he didn't use it at all in the blog post he published later, simply calling it a non-baseball medical procedure. Not to be alarmist, but for someone in Florida who has flu-like symptoms for five days but hasn't caught the flu, two weeks of self-quarantine could be what the doctor ordered. Not saying that's it, just that it could be.

Good to see everyone here is in mid-season form. Might want to stop watching for a few weeks, it's gonna be a grind.

I know they've only been playing for 66 years, but you'd think the O's would have hired at least one African American announcer by now for more than occasional fill-in work. Have I missed someone?

At least Davis would have a bench buddy. Also, they could bank together.

Glad to see that he's trying new things but quite frankly anyone who's catching games for the Orioles these next couple of years is just a placeholder for AR.
That's when they'll move him to 3B.

Working with an offseason hitting instructor is the new "best shape of my life". Bring on the rainbows and unicorns.
I like the way the bat comes out of his mouth.

This is sports sounds like an excuse.
I was in the service, I didn't act that way. No one acted that way with superiors.
Why do athletes get an exemption?
Because they can't be put in a stockade?

O's should change his uniform number to 26, as in the 26th man.

Shouldn’t be paid
Players don't get paid for spring training. I guess he could be fined. I don't know how long he would have to not show up before they could put him on the inactive list (which would mean not paying him).

Surprised his shadow didn't have him on "Ignore."

I see we've made the inevitable transition from Shakespeare to Valentine Davies. I bet the Astros saw this one.

When Will the 2020 MLB Season Begin? (Poll)
in Orioles Talk
Posted
If the estimates that we can expect somewhere from 40%-70% of the total population to become infected over the next 18 months are accurate, normal will never be the same again. Hopefully, they will develop some drugs to treat the virus while creating and testing a vaccine.
