Inclement Weather
One of the most common reasons for a delay in a baseball game, including the Baltimore Orioles, is inclement weather. Rain, thunderstorms, or even extreme heat can cause delays as the safety of players and spectators is paramount.
Technical Difficulties
Sometimes, technical issues with the stadium lights, scoreboard, or even the playing surface can lead to a delay in the game. These issues need to be addressed promptly to ensure a fair and safe playing environment for the teams.
Player or Staff Health Concerns
If a player or member of the coaching staff is feeling unwell or sustains an injury before or during the game, there may be a delay as they receive medical attention. The health and well-being of everyone involved in the game are crucial.
Protests or Security Concerns
In rare instances, protests or security threats may cause a delay in the game. Ensuring the safety of everyone in attendance is a top priority, and any potential risks must be addressed before play can continue.
