This is what I suggested earlier. The games need to be moved most likely because this situation will be dragged out. No reason to make MLB have to have the same discussions every day.

My guess is if they make a switch, they would move it to Chicago (such a peaceful city) and switch the July 2-4 series here.

How many games get moved? Think this will be over in two more days? The City needs to stop making space for riots and shut it down.

It appears that MLB have been making all the decisions.

White Sox play on Thursday. Might be hard to do in such a short time. Maybe play these games at Nats Park.

Or just take three home dates away from the O's.

Would you put it past them?

No, I wouldn't.

Have both teams travel to Chicago tonight and get at least two of the three games played. Then the Orioles get payback in July.

This I don't know. If they are planning on protesting on Saturday again, I wouldn't be surprised to see the whole week moved until this is settled.

I think switching locations like you suggested could work. Unless they want to move it to a third party stadium but that just punishes the Os fans.

That's fine if they can pull it off. What about stadium employees, hotels, travel etc .

That will not happen. Why not just swap out this weekend with Tampa, not like a bad travel issue but I know there is more to it than that.

Why wouldn't it?

I'd try and do it if I was commish.

Just let the O's bat as the home team and up their slice of the (non-existent) attendance a bit and call it a day.

      John Means 2024

      I am not giving up on Means.   A little rest, some chewing gum,  maybe some duct tape.  I think he will be back.  His ERA is about 2.64 over the last two season.    Don't count him out yet.

      No holiday card for Laz Dias this year

      Rather amazingly, a 1.13 run favor to our opponent is only the 3rd largest disadvantage we’ve had so far this season, per Umpire Scorecard — Vic Carapazza gave the Brewers a 1.21 run edge back on 4/13 and Sean Barber provided a 1.65 run advantage for the Royals on 4/21. Looking at Umpire Scorecard is actually infuriating me at the moment, because we’ve gotten absolutely hosed by the umps so far. Only Oakland and the White Sox have received more of a disadvantage from the umps so far, with the O’s checking in at a whopping -7.56 runs so far. Our most favored game thus far has been getting a 0.71 run edge against the Nats on 5/7. We’ve had SIX separate games where we were more disfavored than that. Cleveland has actually been the most favored team so far (by a wide margin), but I’m sure you can guess who is number two. I don’t like to Judge, but the umps have been quite a Boone to the team whose meat the league has Rodon for decades.

      B-Ref's portrait gallery today has him tucked between Grayson Rodriguez and Kyle Bradish on rWAR contribution YTD, but they are all behind Albert Suarez who I guess is the most direct beneficiary if the Orioles follow through using a sixth starter to help with the coming weeks. I guess Means now is where Bradish was around the Super Bowl.     Conservative treatment and good fortune, I don't yet rule him out as someone good enough to have their September form monitored if he isn't in surgical recovery.

      That's sad.  Maybe he's just one of those guys who, despite a lot of God-given talent, just doesn't have the physical strength to handle his chosen profession.

      I didn't even have him making it out of his rehab assignment.

      What's worse for Means at this point - it's a sprain that he has to rehab for a few months and finally makes it back again by the end of the season and he pitches a few starts and hurts it again. Or he tore it and it's TJS 2.0.  Honestly, starting to think the latter. Maybe the surgery works better the second time around and he doesn't have to keep starting and stopping like this.

      Well called it earlier in the season when I said he probably would probably be back on the IL by June. I believe my words when he came back were, "I give him about a month or 2."
