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

Its gonna be hard to have a meaningful season even if this is just somehow limited to the Marlins.  If those 15 are all genuine COVID infections, even if only mild cases, you are probably talking about a mimimum three weeks before those players and coaches and come back and not be contagious.  There is no way you could make up three weeks of baseball with the timeline the MLB wants to keep.  So let's say you end the Marlins season, but try to have the rest of the teams play it out. Do the games against the Phillies count?  How would they balance out the schedule?

My obvious idea is bring discussed! As I said, it makes zero sense for the Phillies to not play and not have the Yankees play the Orioles.

The Marlins play the Phillies 9/10-9/13 on the same dates the Orioles play the Yankees, so they could even have the Orioles play the Marlins and the Phillies play the Yankees on two of those days to even the schedule back out somewhat.

There is no balance to the schedule this season.

Question:   is the service time gaming thing based on days in the majors or games?

In other words, if we don't play until the weekend, can we bring up Mountastle for the Tampa series, or does he have to be down 5 or 6 or whatever GAMES which would mean after the Tampa series?

(I know, he's really down there to work on his defense and will be up once he has adequately mastered the art of left field.   But humor me and answer the question anyway!)

Days. Players are still drawing their paycheck this week. They don't change the rules for two teams when an entire early April series is rained out.

This is all super embarrassing for Rob Manfred. Clown-shoes ass commish, man. Guy's got a full on mutiny on his hands at this point. Everyone can sense the leadership void and they're taking it into their own hands.

Having looked closely at publicly available material concerning Manfred''s handling of the MASN dispute, his report on the Astros' cheating, and his negotiation over the length of the 2020 season, I doubt the guy is capable of embarrassment.

      2024 Postseason Ticket Refund tracker

      By ThomasTomasz · Posted

      The 13 game plan is guaranteed playoff tickets…….if you purchase them.  Since I assume you went through the team and chose your seat and purchased it with a card, you should get it back.   At least for me, my wife and I thought we were going to be moving 30 minutes away from our house, but instead of an hour from Baltimore, it would be 1 hour 45 minutes, so season tickets of any sort didn’t make sense.  I also figured that we would get hit with 4 pm games mid-week to start, so it all just didn’t make sense.   I am also surprised that my rep didn’t reach out to ask why.  I opted in before as a 29 game holder, in 2014, 15 and 16.  I went back to 29 games this year after two seasons with 13, and I’ve been a Birdland member since 2014.  Oh well.  We may be opting back into 13 next year, or not at all.  We will have to see.  My wife will sometimes get tickets from work, and they were always when we had tickets, so it didn’t make sense to take them.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      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.

      Elias: It's on me

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      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.
