Reschedule Game/Series

[DrungoHazewood]

Drungo probably knew that, but doubtful many others did (definitely including me). That is a looonngg day of baseball.

I didn't look at the link, but was that referencing the NL Orioles' sweep of Louisville in a tripleheader in the 1890s?

Single-admission doubleheader (two for the price of one) will be played on Thursday, May 28th, vs. the White Sox.

That will mean 20 straight days of playing, 21 games in 20 days. I wonder if MLB will allow an extra player that day.

I would be shocked if that wasn't the case.

Still can't believe it is closed to the public. That will be crazy to watch!

I guess, they are worried about food staff and ushers to work the crowds and also the police protection needed, which takes away from their other locations.

Stupid question, are they going to have walk-up music and PA announcers tomorrow? Talk about the Twilight Zone!

Have to get my tickets for the Trop this weekend.

That's a solution.....it will certainly look like a ST scrimmage. Have to go back to the OLD radio with the ticker tape in the background and announcers creating sound effects. I think players are more into the game with crowd noise. I expect a very different kind of game.

Shouldn't be that hard, just you and some of your Oriole Floridan fans.

Any chance one of the series supposed to be played in Tampa will be switched to Baltimore?

Bob Uecker in Major Leagues comes to my bat, when they have to make sounds for the radio broadcast.

Good questions-gotta watch on TV! Hopefuly it will be televised..maybe it won't?

Maybe we can get the Falcons to pipe in crowd noise?

FYI: most twitter links are blocked for people at work. Not always the case, but pretty common.

In fairness, it probably should, but then their fans would get screwed. Can't see that happening, even if there are only about 500 people that show up there.

[DrungoHazewood]

There have been cases in Europe where teams were being punished for something like racists incidents in the crowd where they were forced to play games without a crowd. But I don't think I've ever heard of this in MLB, or any North American sport. Well... not on purpose. I'm sure there were some St. Louis Browns games in the 30s that drew dozens of fans, and two-bit indy leagues with teams ready to fold up shop with essentially no one coming to games.

No question about which 3 game series will draw the smallest crowd for the Orioles this year. They are taking a financial bath this week, moving 3 games to the Trop and reducing 3 admissions vs. the White Sox to the one double-header.
