Phillies vs. Yankees aint happening tonight... book it.

Do any of us really trust Manfred/MLB to pull a rabbit out of their buttholes to save this season?

Sounds like the Reds may also have a potential outbreak on their hands. Moustakas and Senzel not feeling well... which means half a dozen others probably asymptomatic.

This is the MLB you're talking about. The contingency plan was based on if a couple people got infected on a team. There's no plan for a full blown outbreak, there never was, because there's just no good plan for that. They're rolling the dice and hoping that didn't happen.

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. 

 

I know they aren’t the ideal model, but the Orioles have played without a full active roster before.  It might not have been a good idea, but it has been done.

We are not talking 1 or 2 players, but over half the team, get serious.

I saw that Moustakas went on the IL after mashing in the opener.  Didn’t realize it was sickness and not injury.

Well, if the season is over, the Orioles will be the first team that ever went from losing 2 out of every 3 games one year to winning 2 out of 3 games the next. Complete turnaround!!!

Clearly. Of course, this thing does not spread through 1 to 1 transmission, it's more of an all or nothing situation when you are talking about groups of people in enclosed spaces.

There is in fact a minimum roster size of 25 players this season. It was supposed to be 26 players before COVID because the union is (rightly) not happy when teams have less than a full roster. There was previously a minimum roster size of 24 players when there was a 25-man roster.

    • 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.   
    • 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. 
    • 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. 
    • Trade Mullins & Mountcastle. Let O’Hearn go.  Sign Juan Soto
    • As someone who attended 15 games this year in section 80, and watched numerous games on TV, I might have had the chance at 3 home runs.   RHB are trying to work the ball towards the bullpen versus dead pulls.   OPACY, due to the summer humidity, is still the homer dome in the summer time.  But this was supposed to be our benefit to stack the lineup with LHB, and it was also proved that a team could stack their playoff roster with LHP to neutralize it.   I think the dimensions are going to be the way they are for a while, and I think the pitchers are going to be fine with it overall.  There were far too many ‘cheap’ home runs from RHB on high pop ups, but also off the end of the bat from LHB.  
    • The Diamondbacks have 125 million in 10 players. Would they really want to have at $155-$165 million in 11 players of a $199 million payroll (their 2023 amount)?   https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/payroll/_/year/2025/sort/cap_total2
