By Dan Connolly / The Baltimore Sun May 1, 2015 It really has been one of the craziest weeks I’ve ever experienced. And, frankly, I’ve been on the edge of all of this in Charm City. So many more people had much more difficult challenges than I did. And I’m still drained. So the drinks are on me. I’m buying this fake joint a round. And maybe more if I’m feeling inspired. All I want from you is your opinion. And not about the unrest or the riots or the causes and ramifications of what has transpired in our fair city. Barkeeps a lot smarter than me can moderate those discussions. Sports are an escape. And times like these, I’m glad we have them. I want to know how you think the Orioles handled this week. I know this probably isn’t a popular opinion, because many felt alienated when it was announced that no fans would be allowed into Wednesday’s game. But I have the Orioles’ back on this one. The franchise lost a ton of money this week – from the no-attendance game Wednesday, Monday’s and Tuesday’s contests being wrapped into a one-gate doubleheader in May and this weekend’s three “home” games in Tampa Bay, which will probably yield one-third (at the most) of the money that could have been made on a normal weekend here. The Orioles did what they did because they didn’t want to take away from security resources that are needed in downtown to quell the unrest. And I support that decision. They needed to play at least one of those games against the White Sox (they couldn’t ask the White Sox to come back twice and you can’t have a tripleheader), and it just wasn’t feasible to try to move everything to Nationals Park on such late notice. Some people complained to me that there are enough Orioles fans in the D.C. area to make it feel like a home game, but that’s not the point. It’s about making the logistics happen exceptionally quickly: Security and parking and ticketing and concessions. Plus, you are talking about three entities involved, the Orioles, their opposition (White Sox or Rays) and the Nats’ organization - - it is their park after all. And all of it would have to be approved by Major League Baseball and the players’ union. It was a terrible situation, but I think the Orioles made a good call. And be honest, you were at least slightly more intrigued by Wednesday’s no-fan game than you would have been if 20,000 had showed up for a regular April night game against the White Sox. Let me know what you think. Even if you think I’m wrong, I’m still buying a fake round. Daily Think Special: What’s your take on how the Orioles handled things this week? http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/bs-sp-orioles-trop-series-0501-20150430-story.html How Orioles' relocated series at Tropicana Field will take on a more neutral feel By Eduardo A. Encina / The Baltimore Sun April 30, 2015 Will John Denver play during the seventh-inning stretch this weekend when the Orioles travel to St. Petersburg, Fla., to play three "home" games on the road at Tropicana Field, nearly 1,000 miles away from Baltimore? Will Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Evan Longoria's walk-up music be played on his home field even though he will be wearing a gray road uniform? And just how exactly do you play a home game in an opponent's stadium? Those were among the internal questions and discussions this week after the Orioles relocated their three-game home series – originally slated for Camden Yards – to the Rays' home field because of the unrest throughout Baltimore following the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old African-American city resident who died in police custody. From a baseball perspective, the past week has been a bizarre one for the Orioles. When protesters began marching along Gate H of Camden Yards before Saturday's game, the gate was closed. Later that night, the ballpark was briefly under lockdown under order of the city as concern grew that fans flooding out of the park at the end of the game could be in danger. Monday was the darkest day of riots in the city, forcing the team's game against the White Sox to be postponed and Tuesday's was as well, as a 10 p.m. city-wide curfew was enacted. Both games will be made up as part of a doubleheader on a mutual day off. Wednesday's game was played, albeit in front of an empty seating bowl with the game closed to the public, mainly in order to allow police officers and National Guard troops who would be securing the park the ability to be deployed elsewhere around the city. That's also the main thrust why the Orioles, along with Major League Baseball and the Rays, worked to get this weekend's series relocated to Tampa Bay. Even though the Orioles wanted to swap this weekend's series for one slated to be played at Tampa Bay in July, MLB decided that it was already difficult enough costing the Orioles fan base five home dates in Baltimore this week, and would be unwise to affect another franchise's fan base as well, according to industry sources. The Rays have an annual summer concert series that is tied closely to their season-ticket plans. During that July series, the Rays are hosting a postgame concert featuring country music artist Kacey Musgraves, certainly creating one of their best summer weekend draws of the season. Since these games are still technically Orioles home games, the Orioles did request playing the same crowd prompts and videos that are played at Camden Yards, but were rebuffed by MLB, which preferred a more neutral experience. The Orioles will certainly have some home privileges. They will wear their home white uniforms, take batting practice first and bat at the end of the inning. And the host Rays are making several efforts to make sure the series will have an impartial feel to it. There will be none of the typical sponsorship elements presented during a regular Rays home game, no game emcee and no pump-up-the-crowd elements. Walk-up music for both Orioles and Rays players will be played. And the Oriole Bird mascot, as well as Rays mascots Raymond and D.J. Kitty, will all be there. The seventh-inning stretch, however, will undoubtedly be Orioles-slanted, with John Denver's "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" to be played. Both teams had to make several on-the-fly adjustments to make this series work. The Orioles had to book a charter flight on a different airline carrier and aren't staying at their usual team hotel because of last-minute bookings. Typically, those travel plans are made before the season begins. The Rays will have to bring in about 700 gameday staff members – all of whom expected to have the weekend off – to work the series. Tickets for all three games will be general admission with seating only offered in the lower bowl of Tropicana Field. Tickets to Friday's and Sunday's games will be $15 and Saturday's game will be $18. The Orioles, who set the ticket prices in conjunction with the Rays, will receive the gate revenue of the series minus the Rays' staffing expenses.

  • Why Did Cleveland Indians Sign Mike Napoli Instead of Pedro Alvarez?
    Why did Cleveland Indians sign Mike Napoli instead of Pedro Alvarez? Hey, Hoynsie Paul Hoynes, cleveland.com CLEVELAND, Ohio – Do you have a question that you'd like to have answered in Hey, Hoynsie? Submit it here or Tweet him at @hoynsie. Hey, Hoynsie: Why did the Indians sign Mike Napoli, 34, for one year to play first base when Pedro Alvarez, 27, was available? Did management know Alvarez hit 27 home runs last season? -- Jimmy Garst, Roanoke, Va. Hey, Jimmy: The Indians did show interest in Alvarez, who was non-tendered by the Pirates and became a free agent. I think a couple of things probably came into play: No. 1, Alvarez was more expensive than the $7 million deal the Indians agreed to with Napoli. No. 2, the Indians felt Napoli helped them two ways – he gave their offense needed pop from the right side of the plate and he improved their defense. Napoli – whose deal should soon be made official – allows the Indians to move Carlos Santana to DH while he will get most of the time at first base. There is no doubt about Alvarez's power, but he made 23 errors at first base last season. I think the Indians preferred Napoli, considering the cost, at first and Santana at DH instead of Santana at first and Alvarez at DH. Hey, Hoynsie: The Reds seem interested in moving outfielder Jay Bruce. Is the Tribe done with its outfield or would it be interested in a guy who is as streaky hitter as there is, but definitely has pop? – Carl Neifer, Cincinnati.

Each team has their own drafting strategy and by analyzing this you will gain a better understanding as to why certain decisions are made. The research explored the relationship between teams in the American League East with regards to when and how to draft players. To answer this question an analysis of each of these five team’s draft picks from 1998-2007 was completed by comparing each draftee by point of entry and round drafted in. The results show a clear correlation for each team in regards to the round a type of player was drafted and the position they play.

Avid fans follow their favorite teams not only during their respective seasons, but search the Internet and sports page in the off-season to find even the slightest bit of information. Popular holidays are interwoven with various sporting events, such as football on Thanksgiving Day or baseball on the Fourth of July.1 Some events even attract their own celebration, such as Super Bowl Sunday. If a city's local team is fortunate enough to win a championship, a large-scale parade is usually held to honor the players and coaches. 2 Clearly, sports permeate multiple aspects of our lives, and it is this popularity that sports franchises use to their advantage.

For the fourth straight year, a special panel of Hall of Fame players led by Hank Aaron will join fans in voting for the award, which is officially sanctioned by Major League Baseball and has recognized the most outstanding offensive performer in each League since it was established in 1999. Donaldson was the A’s top offensive performer in 2013 as he batted .301 with 24 home runs and 93 RBI in 158 games. He became the eighth player in Oakland history to hit at least .300 with 20 or more home runs and 90 or more RBI, the first since Miguel Tejada in 2002.

Van Bavel New York University Department of Psychology 6 Washington Place New York, NY, USA. 10003 [email protected] @vanbavellab Social identity shapes physical distance 2 Abstract Three studies demonstrated that collective identity and identity threat shape representations of the physical world. In Study 1, New York Yankees fans estimated Fenway Park, the stadium of a threatening out-group (but not Camden Yards, the stadium of a neutral out-group) to be closer than did non-Yankees fans. In Study 2, we manipulated identity threat among people affiliated (or not) with New York University (NYU). When Columbia University was portrayed as threatening to NYU, NYU affiliates estimated Columbia as closer than did non-affiliates, compared to when Columbia was non-threatening. In Study 3, Americans who perceived more symbolic threat from Mexican immigrants estimated Mexico City as closer. Collective identification with the in-group moderated effects of threat on distance estimations. These studies suggest that social categorization, collective identification, and identity threat work in concert to shape our representations of the physical world.
