So if the season WERE to end from this and the O's don't play any other games.....could the O's declare themselves 2020 AL East Champions?  Asking for a friend.....

I was disappointed to see that the Orioles had to travel to Miami.  I'm assuming there's a good chance this game doesn't happen tonite...but on the flip side of that coin, if this game doesn't happen

Best of both worlds, hang the banner AND retain the #2 overall pick for 2021 (unless they decided to go to a lottery system)

2 days to get test results. How many days before those that have already contracted it have positive outcomes? You have to think at the moment they need to operate as if the entire team has it. I think it's a few more days before we find out how bad it actually spread thru that clubhouse. Miami isn't playing for a few days, at least.

Wait.. they don't have rapid testing?

It seems like the 40 man roster would have to be expanded or players will be getting DFA'ed left and right.

Precisely. You can't just "call up" 12 guys from your 60-player pool. A lot of those guys would need to be added to the 40-man roster, how are you going to make room for 12 guys?

40 man shouldn't even count this year.  They're making all kind of changes why not do away with the 40 man roster limitations for this kind of problem?

This could be the beginning of the end for the season. I don't see how the Marlins can field a team. Unless their secondary camp team can swap in completely, I don't see how they can play in the next few days until they pinpoint who didn't catch it yesterday.

All you need is 9 to play. Active roster is a max not a minimum. I wonder if we will be seeing some games with <25 players on the active roster. 

Realistically, hard to imagine Marlins playing within the next 10 days. Glad I don't have any of those guys on my fantasy team.

Well, I don't know. Ask Fred Manfred and the MLBPA! But it is what it is, I'm just saying, you can't simply swap dudes in as you please. Especially when it's double digit dudes.

It almost seems like they have to if they want to have a season.  I can't believe that they didn't anticipate this happening (likely multiple times), and have some kind of contingency plan.

Such overreaction... just swap the B squad and go on with life.  You can't stop living for something that has a 99.6% survival rate.

So if all 900 major leaguers catch it only 3-4 will die. Pretty good odds.

They do, but that’s not the official testing.  For example, when Soto tested positive, he was given a bunch of rapid tests throughout the day which were negative.  But they can’t use those to get him back on the field.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I only watched the first two innings.  I didn’t think he’d last much longer because he looked very hittable to that point.  I really question the pitch selection to Rorthsveldt on a 1-2 pitch with a man on third and one out.  He just swung threw a up in the zone fastball, Suarez’ best pitch.  Throw another one same spot, or higher, or in, or even try to bury a changeup low.  Anything to try and get a swing and miss.  But a two seamer (that’s what they called it) down and away? Credit to Suarez for giving us 5.  I don’t really think he’s a starter but he’s getting it done.  Why can he hit 97 in the first inning but not in relief?   I guess it’s a warmup thing.  The 2023-24 Orioles are very good at “winning ugly”.   They find a way more often than not.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I hadn’t heard an up to date report on Gillen’s arm.  He’s two years out from that surgery so that’s certainly not good.   I like Lindsey too.  The only real drawbacks are that he’s a RH hitter and the power projection is questionable but he’s got top of the line speed. I’m really not interested in the hit first college types like Amick.   I’d like to see them go HS position player or roll the dice on a Brody Brecht/Jonathan Santucci college pitcher with big stuff and command issues.   At #22 and #32 maybe they can do both.

      We've really needed Suarez to step up, and so far he has. He does this a couple more times, I might be a believer.

      Been going downhill ever since Roy started calling for him in the pen. The jinx goes both ways.

      Suarez traveled 🧳 a long road to arrive with the Orioles . I can’t help but root for him to succeed this season

      Jorge Mateo 2024

      By Allan Bryant · Posted

      Before the season, I was one in trade Mateo camp . He only played SS , but with Gunnar locking up SS , I was not sure about his value anymore. But when he started playing at Second and CF , he looked like he picking up at these positions.  I think maybe he should be their utility player now.

      I  regret to hear news on Wells and Means setbacks.  I like Means because Orioles drafted and developed him .  He will be free agent this fall , should Orioles tender him or let him walk ? As for Wells, he has the stuff but durability is his drawback . Every season Orioles slotted him in starting rotation, then he gets put on IL this season, 2023 and 2022 seasons also .  When Wells returns next season  , they should slot him in bullpen permanently  , JMO
