MLB will probably reimburse them in some way since they made the call.

Ehh...I doubt it. MLB has revenue sharing but that's kindly an understood payment either annualy/monthly for all teams, not a one-time payment like you're stating.

Mlb will definitely come up with something... why wouldn't they?

Re: 4/20 - 5/3 Game Discussion Thread

So...side note to stay away from the politics perspective.

This will be a huge hit to the franchise's revenue...if even 20K people show at, say $20 a ticket, that's $400K lost in one day, likely much higher given concession sales and the variance in ticket pricing which depends on seat level.

It's naive to assume the issue will be resolved this week...what if the situation is still bad or worsens on Baltimore's next homestand starting on 5/11? I don't think BAL would be okay with continually playing these "home" games in the vistors' place like they will for TB this weekend and these empty home games will have a huge hit on their finances.

There's been similar circumstance where the home stadium couldn't be used (NO with Katrina, MIN with the snowy Metrodome) but that was issues with the stadium, not the surrounding environment.

Maybe it's the nerd in me...I just find this portion of the story interesting as to what the franchise/MLB will do.

Most fans already bought tickets to the game, I'm guessing. And I haven't heard anything to say that they have reimbursed by the team or the league. So the only thing they are losing out on is the day of game sales, which I am guessing is small maybe like 5K. And concession sales which does hurt.

Dodgers players on DL:
Ryu
McCarthy
Puig


and now Carl Crawford. I guess its a good thing we kept Ethier.

Braves putting the hurt on the Nationals who are putting the hurt on themselves. 9-2 in the 3rd.

I can assure you fans who bought tickets prior to the game and season ticket holders will be reimbursed for the games so it's a lot more than 5k.

Allows Ethier and Guerrero to get some more at bats. Guerrero especially.

Nationals back in the game thanks to errors, Jose Lobaton, and Denard Span thinking he's Ty Cobb or something.
