You would think that MLB has a contingency plan if something like this happened. They should open the book to what ever page that plan is on and proceed accordingly. There is no way they could not have a plan for something like this.
Morgan Freeman narrative voice: “They did not have a plan.”

...so 12 players on one team are out for a minimum of two weeks and then have to test negative twice over 2 or 3 days, is that correct? So that team is basically playing exhibition type games for 2 weeks if playing at all. 5 or 6 series in jeopardy.
I don’t think the minimum of two weeks is correct. Though i’ve heard contradictions to this. They need two consecutive negative tests 24 hours apart.

Wait.. they don't have rapid testing?
They do, but that’s not the official testing. For example, when Soto tested positive, he was given a bunch of rapid tests throughout the day which were negative. But they can’t use those to get him back on the field.

They may end up bringing up their taxi squad. The Marlins team can’t play for a while, so either they don’t play for a few weeks or you bring those players up.
They’d have to make that decision sooner than later. Not enough time in the schedule to make up games.

Any word on how often these guys are getting tested? I assume they aren't going to CVS and waiting 6-10 days.
Every other day. Not sure if you get tested more often if you test positive.

Marlins had 3 or 4 positives today, according to rumors.
Including Urena, today’s starter, who they had to scratch two hours before the game.

Any of us on this page love baseball, and love the Orioles..even if they dont always love us. But even despite the blowout , I couldn't stay with the game for very long. The lack of crowd and energy exposes baseball's oldest criticism...it DID seem slow and plodding. The dirty little secret about sports is that the sound and passion of the crowd at any event elevates the excitement and anticipation. Neither was part of opening night. Yes, the Orioles were awful, but in truth, without the crowd, every game to me feels like an intraquad game in Dunedin,Florida in March.Hard to watch. I think the TV numbers might be big for a week or two...but will dramatically drop off after the curiosity fades.
You also have the playoffs in hockey and basketball picking up soon. So the casual sports fan will likely turn their attention to that.
The Yankees/Nats delivered 4M viewers on opening night. A record. The season premiere of Dancing with the Stars in 2019 drew 8M.

$18 in play. Win $21. No thanks to Nick Delmonico. Shane Bieber is a boss. Max Muncy can hit a baseball.
Two days, two winners.

Grand slam!

Walk. Bases loaded. DP in play. Pitching change. Going with a submariner.

I agree with keeping politics out of the site. Sports are a diversion for many people, and while I recognize that they also have a role in social issues at times, I do agree with keeping it off the forum. I am part of a forum for the NFL that has the same no politics rule that I help moderate, and it's made that site much more fun for me than other sites in the past where we allowed politics to be discussed.
On that site, I moderate the Washington Football forum. I am a diehard fan- I've survived Snyder to this point, my uncle played and coached for the team and caught touchdown passes from Sammy Baugh, and my most fond memories as a kid are attending games with my family. I'm trying to lead that community through a tough change, all the while questioning how I personally feel about all of the change happening at one time.......plus everything else going on in life. I still haven't made the decision on what I'm doing with my fanhood, but I am going to give it a year to see how I feel about the team and how things go.
That would be my suggestion to Tony, and anyone else having an issue with MLB right now. This site is positioned as a unique forum for Orioles fans and discussion and I would hate to see it go away.
What site is that? I’m also a fan of the WTF WFT.

4-3. Going to the bottom.
-
Base hit, pop out, walk. Bases juiced, two outs.
-
Base hit would have scored the run
-
3-5-6-5 to erase the lead runner. Ouch.

Oakland/ LAAAAA
Overtime. History in the making.

I think the Mets are going to have a tough time with their SP injuries. Their lineup is solid. Nimmo and McNeil have developed themselves into really solid players.

TJ MacFarland is on my TV. Lots of ex-O’s I’ve seen on this ESPN triple header today.
-
Josh Harrison is someone I’d kick the tires on simply because of his position flexibility. His past two years have been injury plagued.

Largest audience for an opening night telecast, last night’s Nats/Yanks game.
Marlins ( and now Phillies) season(s) on pause, O's to host Yankees on Wednesday and Thursday

I saw that Moustakas went on the IL after mashing in the opener. Didn’t realize it was sickness and not injury.
