The Garceau and Bordick teaming is as bland as dry toast.

There is no atmosphere tonight, bit it is good to see baseball again.


Kind of hard to have any real tension with no fans in the stands. However, you are correct, it is great to watch MLB again.

It will be interesting to see if the players can ramp up the intensity, when the games actually matter.  Last night they were very relaxed.

 

I believe they will and I think it will be very visible.

The National announcers doing tonights game.  Going to try to listen to these two homers.

The Nationals are using chants and  rally clapping as background noise.

I always liked Gary Thorne on-air.  Thought he was probably the most listenable TV play-by-play guy the Orioles have had in a while.  Ben McDonald is a fantastic analyst in my mind too...

 

I LIKE Scott Garceau the person.  :)  I don't enjoy Scott Garceau the play-by-play voice.  Never have, nothing personal.  :)

 

But these games with empty stadiums still feel and look like a joke to me.  I doubt the perception will change much for me come Friday, even if the games suddenly "matter".  And even if Gus Johnson was trying to breath some life in to them...

Looks like we get the 30 man today.  A lot of people sick and banged up.

Are there any stadiums that have a third area inside the stadium that the Blue Jay's could use as their clubhouse?

It's not just a lot of extra cleaning necessary if they are a guest at Camden Yards (or another park), but the home team would have to completely move out of the home clubhouse to allow the Jay's to move in for a series.

Could they set up a temporary clubhouse elsewhere in the stadium? Suites or somewhere in the Warehouse maybe?

Elias was on 105.7 yesterday.  It certainly sounds like Herrera is making the team.

Probably the last cut with Smith making the team.
