In the parallel universe where everything is the same as this one except that the 2020 MLB season was about to proceed as planned, the Orioles would have played 78 games by now. We would be crossing the halfway point of the season this week. Instead, well, you know.
It remains unclear when there will actually be baseball games again. The brief burst of optimism late last week has faded against the reality of a continuing gap between the two sides negotiating, and perhaps more seriously, by the worsening of COVID-19 in a number of states with MLB teams: Florida, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, and California.
