Interesting point. I don't think it is a given that the Orioles will be willing to play on Wednesday, nor that it is a given that the state will allow the Marlins in.

The odds that someone on that team or coaching staff is still going to test positive in the next few days is high right?

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

Sounds like tomorrow's game is officially canceled (not being played in Baltimore as was thought to be a possibility).

This Binney guy seems to be the go-to source for a quote if you want to write an article slamming a sports league re: COVID

If 3 people test positive one day and 12 the next day, then yeah, odds are good that number is still rising.

I think if the state or the O's put pressure on the league it will be behind the scenes and the league will have a come to Jesus moment seemingly on their own, they don't want to look any weaker on this stuff.

Not surprising he is trying to get famous.

Feel free to find an epidemiologist who says that the Marlins should play as soon as Wednesday, haven't seen one yet.

I'm probably late but here is the "official" press release on mlb.com, including Manfred's interview. What a f-ing JOKE! Doesn't even mention 14 people contracting the virus. Doesn't mention ANYONE contracting the virus. I didn't even click Manfred's interview because I'm certain it is even MORE :bs: then the article is!

Just got a fantasy alert that the CWS/CLE game had been postponed. Thought it might have been another domino. Turns out it was just rain ?

White Sox manager Rick Renteria is away from the team to undergo COVID-19 testing:

Won't happen. :( The owners like him just fine. He spouts the company line ALWAYS and does their bidding without question. A perfect puppet for them.

Marlins, Phillies, and now the Indians and White Sox.

 

 

Season is done.

White Sox and Indians were rained out and have a doubleheader scheduled tomorrow.

Yankees and Phillies was postponed today out of caution in two areas: thorough cleaning of the visitors clubhouse before the Yankees go in there, and testing to confirm that the Phillies don't have any issues from incidental contact with Marlin players (and I bet they won't, duration of contact is a key, often ignored, factor in transmission and most in game contact between players is very brief).

So all is not lost yet.  The state of the Marlins is an issue, but they are the only team in MLB so far with more than 2 or 3 cases simultaneously.  If 2 or 3 more team outbreaks like Marlins happens, then I think the season could be in danger.

I think those events are inevitable.  We got to Game 4 before the first clubhouse-wide outbreak.

I’m keeping an eye on the Reds.  Chapman tested positive, then Moustakas and another player were scratched yesterday not feeling well.

Epidemiologists will always fall on the side of caution, but as Fauci even says - there’s a reason we don’t leave every decision to epidemiologists. There’s a myriad of interests that need to be considered and balanced. 

Ultimately I just don’t see it as the damning shot it seems to be presented as.

      Injuries have sucked, the pen has been an issue but is Adley the biggest problem?

      By MDK02 · Posted

      If you want to see how young superstars should play, look at Churios and Merrill. Both big time contributors to their teams in the post season, both players 20 and 21 years of age. Meanwhile, our Jackson doesn’t even get an AB. Something is just off with this organization and their development..

      I agree with some of the opening post. I cannot blame Hyde for this team not hitting. I believe it is completely analytical based. Analytics are against singles, walks, hit and run or bunts.    I know we can pick our guy to be upset with but I will go with Tony Taters. Adley hit a single to RF and with the right effort and baserunning he should have been on third base. Don’t have to talk about the terrible AB with the bases loaded. There was another play with the Massey single in the second that rubbed me the wrong way. The ball was hit 73 MPH and landed 250 feet. The RF wall is 325 feet away so how far is he playing back against Michael Massey? Tony did not strike me of a guy giving it everything he had to get to a fly ball. He basically assumed Mullins would get it and jogged in.

      Sometimes I regret being an Oriole fan

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I would have taken this loss harder in the past guess I'm getting older. Also this team has been telegraphing for over a half season how this season would end. I don't want to hear stats on how many runs this team scored it's a lineup that lives and dies by the home run. The problem is the weather cools in October and the ball doesn't carry as well in summer at OPACY. The Orioles actually got good pitching, but the offense came up small yet again. Elias needs to rethink the types of hitters he has on the Orioles roster and evaluate the effectiveness of having two hitting coaches. There's even an offensive strategy coach and what exactly does he do? "Hey Adley next time you get up the plate try not to make an out".

      Completely agree and there's no reason the O's shouldn't be a serious player for Soto.  Him and one top starter and I'm happy.

      Add a couple of seasoned professionals who know how to win. Solid players who have been around a while. These young guys are talented for sure, but that’s not enough. They need to learn to play better as a team and know what it takes to win consistently.  I honestly think they get caught up in reading about how good they are, not proving it on the field day after day.

      Except Cruz wasn’t an overpay. He’s the rare older free agent that actually earned his money. By the way, Cruz was the 55th highest paid player when he signed his FA deal after he played for the Orioles. He wasn’t even that expensive.    But that’s just an aside. I understand what you’re saying and your point is valid. I’m just still irked that the Orioles basically punted in that offseason that Cruz walked. I hope they are fiscally brave enough to take the next step and not count on Holliday and Mayo to improve next years team.
