#Orioles announced schedule update

 

Tomorrow's #WhiteSox game closed to public 2:05pET

Weekend #Rays series now in TB

 

Wow. No fans at tomorrow's game.

That's what I thought would happen when they locked the gates last night. Just let the 600 or so in.But I can understand they didn't want to be at least partly responsible if when the game ended, the area was not safe.

Cue Cubs fans making jokes about empty stadiums.

this is a god damn joke. The whole thing.

I already did:

On a plus, the White Sox are used to playing in an empty stadium. So, it's basically a home game for them.

I was trying to find a list of sporting events played in empty stadiums. I'm guessing it has happened before, I just can't think of a professional match. I have heard of High School and perhaps a college that cleared out all the fans to play.

It happens in soccer all the time across the world as punishment to overzealous (violent) fans

Thank you. I should have thought of futball first.

This really just screws the White Sox so bad in May. Now the Sox have to fly to Baltimore on their off day after playing Toronto to play 2 games in one day and then fly to Houston after the double header

Hopefully I can either dvr it or even get out of work a little early. I have to see how weird this game will be.

Why not go ahead and play two tomorrow (when the teams have just had two days off) as opposed to playing two on May 28, when the Sox will be in the middle of playing 17 straight days?

That is what I am wondering. Start the game at 11 or 12 local time and just play two games and be done by 6ish and fly out.

Because the Sox got bent over by the league and took it.

Well, at least it's settled. The Sox must have approved this scenario.

 

Hopefully a win tomorrow, and then Jeffy can drop his appeal finally.

It's pronounced KA-CHING!!

 

$$$$ Concessions etc etc

 

Or with the appeals they are looking to use the twin bill somehow to the teams advantage. Use that day if the appeals don't an out and it might not change the rotation schedule.

moved to 1:05pm (central) and CLOSED to the public (EMPTY STADIUM!)

@MattSpiegel670 Can we get the Score staff in studio doing mock background crowd noises?

— Husky Caucasian (@HuskyCaucasian) April 28, 2015

 

It's a good idea, @HuskyCaucasian. We @670TheScore should become old school radio recreationists and do some foley artist ballpark sounds.

I wonder with this game being played and closed to the public how many people will be outside of the stadium. Is Camden Yards one of the stadiums where you can see the field somewhere outside of it? I could see dumbass people trying to throw things in the stadium or trying to climb fences and cause problems

Because the Sox got bent over by the league and took it.

 

I know this is f***ed up, but lets not pretend that there was anything they could do but bend over and take it.

Now the players could go back to their roots

 

Hey batter batter, s w i n g batter batter . . .

Ah, isn't this the same owner that voted to strike when he had the best team in baseball? The ownership group has proven to be baseball first, team concerns second. I'm not surprised at all. And they will rightfully expect the same benefit should it ever be reversed and there was a problem in Chicago.

Now the players could go back to their roots

 

Hey batter batter, s w i n g batter batter . . .

 

Too bad we're not playing the Royals. I'd like to hear all the s*** talking from the dugout.

It's basically sandlot ball on a pro field at this point.
