I know Buck is supposed to met with Angelos and discuss options.

Baseball commish was in town last night, so pretty sure, he will be a part of the talk.

105.7 suggested a day game today at 1:05, to clear the fans out of the city before nightfall and the kids off the street before the curfew.

Makes sense.

Personally, I don't see them doing a double header today.

For now, we sit and wait, and speculate.

I would not be surprised if Baltimore plays a "home" game when they visit Chicago. I don't know how quickly they can switch tonight's game to an earlier start. Maybe a 4 or 5 o'clock start depending on what is happening in the city? I would imagine staffing, concessions, etc is difficult on short notice.

I wonder if the city school kids get in for free if it is a day game. Schools are closed in the city

No political commentary here, just want to state a fact: a large number of city school kids were the instigators last night. I would think that it would be a terribly bad idea to just let them pile in for free. Potentially thousands of them gathered together in a relatively tight space may lead to some significant problems.

There are some really tough calls that the O's/MLB/Baltimore City need to make today.

At this point I don't think they are even slightly concerned with any of the things you mention above. They are not trying to make money right now or even care if there is anyone in the stadium. They just have to get the games played due to the logistics of the schedule.

Agreed, but my perception is that some of the violence was that occurred had high schoolers involved. Unfortunate happenings can result from the best of intentions. Free with adult supervision??

I did mean with adult supervision. The younger ones and also maybe with a free ticket they can do some type of community service. Clean up and stuff.

I would not be surprised if MLB is contemplating playing the game with no public access. It's the safest option right now and with good weather and both teams here, they really need to find a way to squeeze this in. I stated in a previous thread that there is actually precedent for this (although not with the MLB).

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.

      I’d have brought up Young immediately after DFAing Kimbrel. Baker has no place on this club this year. Would have been nice to see Young up here.

      Yeah, but they could've brought him up a month ago and seen what they might have...And Im not "pining" for Brandon Young, just wondering if he's any better than some we have in the pen..
