Are they 100% positive that these conditions didn’t exist before they had COVID-19? 

I think Ed-Rod is pretty safe to say it wasnt there, as they do an pretty intense medical workup on all their patients.

My own heart doctor agreed that COVID can hurt the heart, thankfully, my current checkup compared to last years, with no changes.

He did say that the numbers of people impacted by COVID on their heart,  was not near the amount that social media was portraying.

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

Exactly... in a world where a player can throw out their shoulder just by washing their truck, then there are risks.  There are risks in everything you do in life.

Except with this, when one player throws out his shoulder washing his truck, 7 other teammates don't simultaneously throw out their shoulders with him.

A lot of questions about why the game wasn’t cancelled yesterday with 4 Marlins testing positive. Probably because MLB has no protocols in place for this. 

This.  I saw a snippet from an article from The Athletic that someone posted on another forum, and it's not a good optic for the Marlins and MLB that they played the game yesterday.

Clearly the protocol is for a 31 year-old shortstop with a career .671 OPS to make the call whether to cancel the game based on group text conversations with his teammates and a consensus that they want to "play hard". The system worked.

I think I’m missing something.

Every time an athlete steps on the field there is risk involved.  Whether or not it is "worth it" is very difficult to define.

From my perspective as a fan and an outsider, there are only two options in which the reward  might be worth the risk: (a) not having a 2020 season, and (b) trying to have a 2020 season in which every safeguard that doesn't interfere with the playing of the game itself is put in place and enforced. My own preference would have been the second option, but it may be too late for that. In any other scenario, I don't think the reward is likely to be worth the risk of illness not only to players but also to managers, coaches, trainers, and family members -- in part because it looks like the reward is not likely to be the playing out of a 60-game schedule with playoffs. The boat just left the dock, and it's already sprung a pretty big leak. It's time for some repairs, not to proceed full speed ahead.

I agree. I am not advocating that we continue. In the poll that was taken recently I suggested that we would not start up again at all.

The point is that if you’re going to start up you’ve got to have a reasonable process in place and it is very obvious that the greatest minds in baseball couldn’t come up with something that wasn’t a complete fiasco.

I doubt there are any greatest minds, in the current MLB front office or Ownership reps, or the players association.

Remember, they couldnt even agree on how to start the season, without a whole lot of drama involved.

      Is O’Hearn that much worse than Mountcastle at 1B?  I don’t think so.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Allan Bryant · Posted

      I understand your case and logic for Skubal  . I do like him too . However I question whether the Tigers will trade him and secondly , is Elias willing pay the high costs to acquire him ?  Knowing Elias , I’m not sure 🤷‍♂️

      Trade Proposal: Fedde & Kopech for Norby & Beavers

      By Chicago White Sox · Posted

      But that’s my point, who are all these flawless options?  By no means do you have to trade for our guys, but it’s not a stellar group of starting pitchers.  You’ll likely take on some risk with whomever you acquire.  I don’t like taking specific comments and then generalizing the whole board, but there is quite a bit of nitpicking going on from a large group of posters on almost all the SP options not named Skubal as well as some overvaluing of your lesser prospects who are unlikely to get something of value.  Getting an impactful SP in this market is going to hurt one way or the other, you just have to decide what trade offs are you willing to take. I do appreciate your viewpoints because you seem capable of saying something might be fair in terms of value, but at the same time not be a trade you’d actually make.  Personally, I think Crochet would be a massive coup for you guys at the price I just mentioned, but I can respect if you feel he’s too risky.  I’m not sure there will another SP like him available in terms of potential impact and now is the time you guys should really be going for it.

      Do we let Povich make his next start against the NYY?

      By now · Posted

      Thinking of Povich today after practicing flute--trying some note sequences that sounded way off, compared to some that were harmonically pleasing. Sometimes the biggest help to learning is find out what doesn't work. In other words, I'm betting on a good outing next time out, whether it's vs. NY or someone else. It can help to get beat up by the pros once in a while.

      Runs in the playoffs are generally at a premium, you want your best defenders in the game so you don't give away free runs. Mountcastle will be starting in the playoffs.

      We’re trotting out A lineup out there and Mounty is hitting 7th and Cowser is on the bench. Both have really ugly numbers since May 1 basically.  We’re discussing game 3 SP, why not discuss do we want Mountcastle starting in the playoffs if it’s not against a LHP?  I’d say no.  As analytic and swing decision our FO is, I bet they want to get rid of Mounty. He was a necessary dude to get us here, but not anymore. Not with Mayo behind him. Mounty might benefit numbers wise, not approach, to get away from the Wall.  Would a contender want him?  If so, which one?  I don’t see why a rebuilding team would want him.  Could we buy and sell at the deadline?
