While some may consider Covid-19 to be not highly fatal for younger people, it is still dangerous in terms of lung scarring, heart damage, etc. The saying, "Whatever doesn't kill me makes me stronger,

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

They may end up bringing up their taxi squad.  The Marlins team can’t play for a while, so either they don’t play for a few weeks or you bring those players up.

Yeah I don’t see why they don’t bring up mostly their taxi squad and play tomorrow.

...so 12 players on one team are out for a minimum of two weeks and then have to test negative twice over 2 or 3 days, is that correct?  So that team is basically playing exhibition type games for 2 weeks if playing at all.  5 or 6 series in jeopardy.

  • The whole hotel where the Marlins was staying at, at to be impact.
  • The Yankees are not thrilled to be using the visiting club house in Philly.
  • The Marlins claim they were strictly following all health guidelines.

Once the dust settles it could be a really interesting case for some techs at CDC to look at.

Because the taxi squad is 3 players.

12 players will be headed to the COVID IL. 

Hence, you now have 40-man issues trying to replace all these guys.

Its a domino effect across MLB.

I don’t think the minimum of two weeks is correct.  Though i’ve heard contradictions to this.  They need two consecutive negative tests 24 hours apart.

Doesn’t every team have 60 players for this reason? Only 30 were with the team now. Bring up the other 30.

Clubhouse the Marlins used in Philly is locked down for now. Visiting Clubhouse staff in Philly is locked down too. Yankees brought own staff.

Did Marlins do their summer camp at their home ballpark? That thing should be shut down completely. Most likely the team brought it up to Philly. Best case scenario would be remaining players plus fill ins from the taxi squad start playing road games only in a few days? What a mess!

Then get working on the roster crunch and move on with it.

Easy for you to say. There are service time considerations at play, and you would have to DFA players and expose them to waivers. They obviously do not have the flexibility to DFA upwards of 10 people, many of whom are qualified major leaguers they want to keep. No team does. Use your noggin, champ.

Does anyone know if it's too late for players to opt out? Wouldn't be surprised if some were changing their mind right now especially if they were on the fence. Of course you might just wait and see what happens since there is greater than zero possibility the season falls apart in the next week.

      Matthew Etzel 2024

      Etzel's playable in CF by all accounts. Just a meteoric rise, As we've seen with Beavers, sustaining a hot start in Bowie can sometimes be a challenge.

      Catch probability question...

      By drjohnnyfever1 · Posted

      So last night, 7/3, Julio Rodriguez didn't make the catch on that 2-run double by O'Hearn.  It was a long run, but that looked like it should have been caught.  Then Hayes made a nice diving catch in LF and Santander made that sliding grab in RF.  I was wondering about the catch probability of those plays and where you guys get those stats/ details.  I'm thinking the Rodriquez play was less likely caught than the other two, but Santander might have been close.  I'm trying to get a handle on this stat, because of what was discussed in the last thread (...that I couldn't locate) and the understanding that how spectacular a catch might look might not be a good indicator of probability. My untrained eyes say Rodriguez was most unlikely, followed by Santander, and then Hayes.  I'm probably completely wrong.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Remember Komi Uehera?  Great splitter. The problem was you have to throw the fastball to set it up. He had an average fastball. The Red Sox did ride him to a WS though.

      Double digit strikeout games, 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      July 1: Chayce McDermott, 7 IP, 12 K’s July 4: Yeiber Cartaya, 4 IP, 10 K’s.   It’s possible I’ve missed one or two so far.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By e16bball · Posted

      He is such an interesting case. Obviously the extraordinarily late “breakout” age, but you also just almost never see a true one-pitch pitcher in today’s game. Aside from the splitter, he has no ML-quality pitches. The 4-seam fastball is mediocre at best in velocity for a reliever (94.6 MPH), it’s on the straighter side, and it gets tagged to the tune of a .405 wOBA (with a .400 xWOBA to match). It’s a bottom-tier 4-seamer.  And then he throws a cutter 27% of the time. A cutter which is so bad that I can only imagine Palmer would have a coronary watching him continue to throw it. It is arguably the worst pitch in baseball this season, and over the course of his two ML seasons, hitters are posting a .486 wOBA against it. What’s most shocking is that StatCast suggests he’s been lucky to get that outcome, with a staggering .511 xWOBA on two seasons worth of cutters.    Ah, but then you have that splitter. The gift from God. And it really is, to be honest. This is a dude who would be working some every day job like the rest of us if he didn’t somehow master that splitter. But he did, and now he’s making bank playing a game. So far this season, 81 PAs ending on a splitter. Opponents have 4 hits against it (.056 BA). All those hits have been singles. 53 of those PAs ended with the hitter slinking back to the dugout (a cool 65.1% K rate), and it carries a 58.1% whiff rate. The average EV against the splitter this year is 76.7 MPH. The two-year wOBA on the splitter is .133, with a .137 xWOBA to match. Those are goofy numbers. Those are the numbers my 5-year-old nephew will put up against my best wiffleball arsenal this afternoon.    In sum, really interesting guy. Only having one effective pitch concerns me — on the days when the splitter is not splitting, he’s useless. The splitter has gotten more effective this year, not less, so that does assuage some of my concerns about the league eventually getting the book on him and spitting on the splitter in order to wait for a chance to pulverize the other junk he tosses. But is he a guy you can run out 4-5 times against the same elite hitters in a short span in October? It just seems like they’d have to get a solid feel for him after seeing a few times back to back. But if all it would cost is someone like Billy Cook, there’s really no harm done in finding out.
