Ha, woops, I'll correct this. Just years of Fred Manfra, clearly.

I think I saw another poster or two make the same mistake, which is why I was wondering if there was something going over my head, lol.

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

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 see your point, but the vast majority of players are indeed safer without than with playing. I expect that the vast majority of players quarantine and take precautions.

Then they should be able and be trusted to take precautions during the season given what we know at this point about transmission outdoors.

And again, he caught it away from baseball, it's not particularly intellectually honest to use him as an example of the dangers of baseball activities. For that matter, had he never reported for baseball, then he might not be receiving the care he is now.

Orioles heading home. No O's-Marlins games in Miami this week.

Makes sense considering the Fish are still in Philly.  That doesn't foreclose on the potential of an Orioles Marlins three game series at Camden Yards, assuming... well, assuming a lot of things.

Yep, trying not to get too far out over my skis in editing the title of the thread.

Presumably the whole team is tested today again and if nobody new tests positive and if the Marlins player pool is such that a reasonable 30-man roster could be constructed for tomorrow, and if MLB decides to say "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!", the Orioles and the Marlins could play a baseball game tomorrow in Baltimore. 

I think it is much more likely that all four games against the Marlins are bagged, but we are in uncharted (not unchartered, as Derek Jeter wrote) waters here.

Thats not the point.

So all 14 Marlins got it away from Baseball?

The point is, there is dangers to catching covid, even if they treat you, there could be long term affects.

That was my point, and its not dishonest, its the truth, heart and lung issues have been found in healthy people after COVID crisis was over for them.

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

I’m not 100% sure, but they did play the Braves before going to Philly. The same Braves team that had 2 catchers go on the COVID IL.

Fwiw, the 2 Braves catchers tested negative for Covid, but they sat out with flu-like symptoms.

Does anyone know if it's too late for players to opt out? Wouldn't be surprised if some were changing their mind right now especially if they were on the fence. Of course you might just wait and see what happens since there is greater than zero possibility the season falls apart in the next week.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      I would be pretty happy with that outcome and I think it's realistic. I'm not sure what the Rangers would want for Scherzer. Maybe Beavers or Bradfield? I believe he would need to waive his no-trade. That could be the biggest issue. We will have an opportunity to scout him first hand tomorrow.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      With a Major League that is this good combined with a farm system that is this loaded, I am not very comfortable with the idea of relying on a player to have be “gutsy” in order to be successful. I would rather just acquire a player who has the talent to be successful. To me, it is important to make additions with a high floor in order to improve our chances.  We tried the high risk/high reward/low cost acquisitions last year and they flopped and proved to be a net ZERO.

      Elias brought him in because he was basically free- a waiver claim making the league minimum. He's making over $2 million now and will only get more expensive from here. No rebuilding team is going to squander part of the value of their trade chips to acquire him instead of a prospect with a higher ceiling and more control.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      This schedule is brutal until after the All Star Break. The O's have 2 July off days before the All Star break, but they bookend a West Coast Trip It eases up after the All Star Break up until the Trade Deadline.  I think Elias is probably trying to play .500 baseball up until the all star break. His guys will finally rest, they will hopefully be playing winning baseball up until July 31, and he can take his time making the right pitching moves at the best costs.  He might have to trade for a back end starter for some depth to make sure they make it through July though. I think the big splash is coming, but I don't think it will be until the deadline bc he's gonna bargain

      Poll - Bigger Need… Game Three level SP or Elite Closer?

      By The Goob · Posted

      To get to the playoffs?  Any model you look at gives the Orioles greater than a 95% probability to make the playoffs.  I think all the talk of a starter is the focus on the ups and downs of the team over the last several weeks.  This team has a +110 run differential.  Does anyone think the Phillies or Dodgers are not going to make the playoffs? The Orioles are in the exact same situation as them as far as making the playoffs.  Only difference is they don't have a team like the Yankees in their division.  The more balanced schedule though means that fact does not impact our ability to be a playoff team. This team should be focused on what it needs to be successful in the playoffs.  To me that clearly is arms in the bullpen that can dominate a game after 5-6 innings from your starter.  Who starts Game 3 of a playoff series is not a significant determination of playoff success.  That guy may only get 4 starts in an entire postseason run even if every series went the distance.

      We will see, either way I think Urias will be in another uniform before long.  I have enjoyed having him in an O's uniform and he made an impact in turning this team around but it is time for the uber talented youth to take over.
