One problem with playing in a stadium without any fans is there’s nothing to do with the baseball as you’re running off the field. Usually it’s the time when players completely get a fan for life by throwing it to that adorable kid or rabid fan decked in the team’s gear head-to-toe and waving their hands like that ball is the most important thing they could ever hold in them.

So without fans, Davis seemed unwilling or perhaps did not how to stray from tradition and threw the ball in the stands anyway.

He’s not the only one without his normal interactions with fans (though of course in the big picture of everything going on in Baltimore, this was not a big deal.) Caleb Joseph pretended to sign autographs before the game.

While the Orioles players may have had a bit of fun joking around at the strange situation, the team was somber in the clubhouse before the game. “I watched the news more in the last couple of days than I have in my whole entire life,” Davis said according to USA TODAY Sports’ Paul White. “Just to see the anger, the emotion, the frustration of the city the last few days was shocking. It’s frustrating. I understand why people are upset and rightfully so. It’s unfortunate that it’s escalated to what it has. I think a lot of people were trying to do things the right way. I think there’s still a long way to go but I think we’re headed in the right direction.”
