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.

      This guy pitched three no-hit innings against the O's back in April.

      O'Hearn blatantly disregards the need to run up the starter's pitch count and lines a base hit on the first pitch.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I absolutely would not pay a price that includes Mayo and Basallo. Where are the instances recently as it relates to trades where a team gave up two top 15ish position player prospects for any pitcher? I bet they are very rare, and even less rare with pitcher injury rates being what they are. I get that the Tigers can play hard ball and don't "have" to trade Skubal. But I also know that is a risk for them in that he could get hurt and then have no trade value between no and next deadline. IMO the Tigers are not going anywhere with or without Skubal for the next few seasons. They simply don't have the position player talent/offense to be a serious contender. And there best prospects (while admittedly very good) are all in single A. That's why I don't think that Kjerstad holds much appeal for them. Because he doesn't really match their competitive timeline. I don't think any team would pay that kind of price for Skubal. IMO only the Phillies are in a position to offer that sort of package. Maybe Seattle? But neither of those teams need pitching. The Phillies are absolutely loaded as is in the pitching department. And Seattle does have enough offense to seriously challenge. Having said all that, I would certainly seriously consider surrendering one of Mayo/Basallo. But it would have to be in a type of deal like this where I get back a difference making starter who is cost controlled for more than one year. And yes to McDermott (absolutely). Now DeLeon is interesting in that he may have some serious upside. But if you believe in your International/Dominican academy/program, then you have to trust that you can find/farm more young/high upside arms like him.

      Santander gets his first Coliseum homer in his last game there, wrapping one around the foul pole.

      Trade Proposal: Fedde & Kopech for Norby & Beavers

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I think those two would be fine in order to get us through the regular season. My concern recently is at least one time through the rotation the last 4 times, we have had at least one blow up start thus taxing our bullpen. Those two would be fine in order to provide a much higher floor than some of our last three starters. However, I don't really think either does that much for us when the leaves change and the calender turns to October. If we are in an elimination game and either is on the mound against one of Seattle's starters, I think they would have the advantage. (Not that Seattle is a shoo-in for the playoffs.) But Philly and the Dodgers are most likely to get to the Series (which of course is no guarantee). And if we were to face either one, I don't like our chances against their top 3 with Fedde and/or Severino on the mound. Plus, I think we need protection at the top of the rotation in the instance that Burnes is to leave after this season. I'm not sure Grayson plus the rest of the non-Burnes guys that we have is even a rotation that qualifies for a playoff birth let alone wins a World Series. A lot of posters are clinging to our the stat that points to our team ERA being 5th in MLB. But if you like at how much it spiked in June and how high it is so far in July, it is clear that it is really going in the wrong direction.
