Ok split the difference and go with 65.  What a week we thought MLB would screw it up  last week now the NBA deal seems to be falling apart no because of COVID though and NFL having Fauci say there could be no football if rates stay same.

Been the rule on here as long as I remember, and I’ve been here years. You want a site about Orioles discussion to devolve into political disputes? That kind of defeats the entire purpose.

Believe me, it's very obvious you don't like the Orioles. You have a near constant aversion to logic when it comes to your feelings toward the Orioles so there is no pleasing you. Just the other day I

I guess your definition of “infinitesimal” is different than mine.    We are still having about 150,000 new cases per week and roughly 5,000 deaths per week in this country.   Happily, the death rate

Exactly. We’re so close now. Just play the damn thing. They could beat the NBA back by 10 days. If they blow this, the owners and players deserve each other.

I can fairly easily work up a 60-game schedule in which each AL East team plays four three-game series against each other AL East team (48 games), plus one three-game series against each of four NL East teams (12 games).

A 70-game schedule would be possible by having each AL East team play four three-game series and one two-game series against each other AL East team (56 games), plus one three-game series against each of four NL East teams and one two-game series against the other NL East team (14 games).  Some teams would get a couple more home games than other teams, though I'm not sure how much the home field advantage matters if there are no fans.

For a 65-game schedule, you'd need to have each AL East team play three three-game series and two two-game series against each other AL East team (52 games), plus one three-game series against each of three NL East teams and one two-game series against each of two NL East teams (13 games).

60, 65, or 70, they're all doable.

Play ball!

This is like two guys standing in a burning house, each one of them with a fire hose, and yet neither turns it on because each wants to prove to the other they can tolerate more misery.

And of course, eventually, the house is going to fall in on both of them.

They should just give up a season.  Neither side really wants one and I don’t think players health will be affected by it but if a whole team gets infected during the mini season what do you do? They would be out for two weeks.  Shut it down and hope you get it straightened out by April.  Without fans I don’t see the point to baseball anyway.

NWSL opens their season on June 27th at 1230 PM with a game to be aired on CBS.  Maybe they can gain some fans with the other sports sidelined.  

I am sure everyone has an alert set on there phone for that.  Maybe they can play at Camden Yards too!

No they were pretty smart and they picked Utah where the virus hasn't been much of a problem.   They will be on a major free network while does baseball even have regular seasons game on over the air networks?

Yes.  Fox airs many Saturday games during the summer.

The Bundy Doesn’t Cover Home game was on Fox.

Oh I didn't even realize that.   I thought they only had the Sunday night games on ESPN.

Just because you don't care doesn't mean other people don't care. I am not sure why you have a hostile attitude towards it. If people didn't care it wouldn't be on CBS.

      2024 Postseason Ticket Refund tracker

      By ThomasTomasz · Posted

      The 13 game plan is guaranteed playoff tickets…….if you purchase them.  Since I assume you went through the team and chose your seat and purchased it with a card, you should get it back.   At least for me, my wife and I thought we were going to be moving 30 minutes away from our house, but instead of an hour from Baltimore, it would be 1 hour 45 minutes, so season tickets of any sort didn’t make sense.  I also figured that we would get hit with 4 pm games mid-week to start, so it all just didn’t make sense.   I am also surprised that my rep didn’t reach out to ask why.  I opted in before as a 29 game holder, in 2014, 15 and 16.  I went back to 29 games this year after two seasons with 13, and I’ve been a Birdland member since 2014.  Oh well.  We may be opting back into 13 next year, or not at all.  We will have to see.  My wife will sometimes get tickets from work, and they were always when we had tickets, so it didn’t make sense to take them.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      That Jimmy Fallon movie was Fever Pitch.  Came out in late 2004 I think, because they had enough time to have the last scene being him and Drew Barrymore on the field in St. Louis celebrating the World Series win.  It actually was a really good movie at the time. But because the Red Sox and their fanbase became completely insufferable beginning with that comeback against the Yankees and carrying all the way through their 4 championships without so much as a loss in the World Series, it is hard for me to still enjoy it. But the underlying premise and that question of what has your favorite team ever done for you definitely resonated and certainly does even more so now with the Orioles.  And for Os fans the answer to that question is over the last 40 years, they haven't done much at all.

      2024 Postseason Ticket Refund tracker

      By eddie83 · Posted

      I have 13 game plan. Last year I was refunded. I hope I am this year.    The Ravens used to keep your money for playoff games not played and people complained. They stopped doing it. It’s pretty unethical in my opinion they keep the money towards next year. You can use that money for something else and make payments when they are due. Instead a business getting handouts from the state keeps your money.    The fact that you didn’t get playoff tickets due to this is alarming. They should wake up and be called out on this. It’s not acceptable.

      Elias: It's on me

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I didn't watch the Astros or Os press conferences, mainly because I didn't want to look at or hear anything Elias or Hyde said. But I imagine that Houston fans are going to be far more accepting of how things ended than our fans are (or should be). The Astros fan has had a pretty charmed life (cheating stigma aside) since the last time we won a playoff game.

      According to park factors, OPaCy was friendlier overall to righties compared to lefties. This is the second time in three season that has been the case. But it’s way friendlier to lefties in terms of hitting homers.
