"The Orioles are expected to reach out on Monday to fans who bought tickets online to Saturday?s game against the Red Sox and give them a voucher for a future game.

With protests in the area for Freddie Gray, the O?s crowd was significantly smaller than expected as many stayed away from downtown Baltimore. Those who were in attendance were mandated to stay inside Camden Yards by the city?s police department and mayor?s office for part of the game and advised of the safest routes to get home.

Those who bought Saturday tickets at the box office will get more information later the week on how to go about getting a voucher."

There are some wild rumors of extreme violence in Baltimore right now. Does anyone think that games could be postponed as a result? Baseball is small potatoes compared to what's happening there right now, so I'd think that the safety of everyone involved would be the top priority.

Not really rumors.

The police claim they have creditable information that several gangs have join together to take out law enforcement people.

Pretty frightening stuff. If you're in town right now, be safe. It's a sad state of affairs to say the least.

John Angelos speaks and defends protestors:

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/04/orioles-john-angelos-baltimore-protests-mlb

I never thought I would ever agree with an Angelos...some wise words spoken here. Some far left-leaning economic viewpoints, but not something that is terribly inaccurate.

The protests were largely peaceful before things broke out with younger, more violent youth grabbing the headline. I repeat, most of these protests during the day were peaceful.

We all value the job the police do. We all have friends that are officers. I have some very close friends that are officers. That doesn't mean things can't and shouldn't improve. Petty crime and drug addiction doesn't justify death here or anywhere in this country. At the same time, the police have a very dangerous job to do and must not be the targets.

Cameras on officers not only protect the people, but the officers and department from unjustified lawsuits.

Things will improve, they must.

I also defend the right to protest but the people that got into fights with Oriole and Red Sox fans and tried to steal purses from patrons where not there to protest.

Hard to argue with that. Those individuals were uneducated individuals with little in the way of role models ever in their lives. Sad. Very sad.

Let's stay away for the politics of the situation. I appreciate that the Orioles take it all seriously.

Any idea if they are going to offer something or postpone tonight's game in light of this?

Staying away from politics just wanted anyone going to the game tonight or thinking of it to be aware.

Also this from the Sun:

e University of Maryland Baltimore, citing concerns about potentially violent activity in the area, abruptly closed its downtown campus Monday.

It was one of several Baltimore businesses, including Mondawmin Mall, T. Rowe Price and Lexington Market, that closed early Monday.

In a statement, UMB cited "scheduled activities today beginning at 3 p.m."

According to widely circulated flier, a high school "purge" was to take place at 3 p.m., starting at Mondawmin and ending downtown.

No problem sir. I remember last year (I think it was), a game getting rained out at Norfolk. We decided not to drive down (3+ hours) to see the games. The Tides would not refund or offer a credit. I contacted the Orioles and they offered me a free set of tickets for our troubles. The customer service of the Orioles has grown leaps and bounds since Buck arrived. I am very thankful for that.

      I think he’s fine in the regular season but if you look around at #4 starters on contending teams like NYY, LAD, PHI, and ATL you get: LAD: one of Walker Buehler/Bobby Miller/Clayton Kershaw (if healthy) ATL: Reynaldo Lopez (3.60 xERA, 2.90 FIP) or Max Fried (3.16 xERA, 3.51 FIP) NYY: Gil, Stroman, or Schmidt PHI: Turnbull (4.19 xERA, 3.62 FIP) or Sanchez (3.73 xERA, 2.58 FIP)   The only guys I would consider Kremer over are Stroman (who is probably the Yankees 6th best starter when Cole comes back) or Turnbull (very similar career numbers but has been much better this year). Again, he’s fine as a #5 but I would not want him starting another playoff game and if Irvin reverts back to being a 4-4.40 ERA guy, I don’t think we would be thrilled with that either.

      It certainly goes to show the Orioles have a good team when almost all of their DFA's are claimed now. But that's exactly why having three options was put into the MLB system. This gives guys like Nevin, McKenna, Baumann major league opportunities when they would be stuck in AAA with the Orioles. while it stink for the Orioles to not have those depth players, it also give guys chances to becomes those depth players still in the system.

      It’s really hard to watch veterans struggle, but I still think the O’s are a month away from doing anything more significant than they’ve done already to adjust playing time, etc.   Hopefully some of the vets wake up before then.

      Is it me, or does ti appear that Adley drops to his knee on almost every big swing and is off balance even when he connects with a ball? I don't remember this pronounced "drop to a knee" swing in almost every single at bat. That cant be a good thing for a hitter or even if it is not a concern, Adley gets out of the box slower because he's off balance.

      Seems like we’re just going in circles on this. Showalter is exactly a use case for why I think JF could be moved at some point. There’s only a select 2 or 3 on Elias’ absolute no touch list (presumably - but no one knows for sure obviously).  JF would be moved if the right team asks in the right deal as I doubt he’s not on the into untouchable list. We are both ultimately saying the same thing here…I think. BTW, interesting what the Cards are doing with Showalter, moved to pen and pitching only once a week. Man he’s been dominant. 18.1 IP, 30K and only 13 H and 6 BB allowed this year. I was in the camp that was very disappointed he was moved (even before Flahery came over and clunked).

      One thing I have to add on Young.   That analysis was based on about 17 IP.

      Plus, McCann might not be as safe as we think.  We could pretty much rotate catcher’s in off the street for what McCann brings. I’m sure some catchers in the minors have June 1st opt out clauses too.  Hunt could just be a CYA thing if there is a guy out there with a June 1 opt out date that we’ve already identified.
