Someone should have called him off, it was never 2b's ball. But, rookie superstar debut....new player to get familiar with....and no matter the level, sometimes the ball is just hit in an absolute horrible spot equidistant from 3 defenders. A couple of feet in any different direction and it plays out differently.

From the video, it looked like Holliday was shaded up the middle on the edge of the grass...which gave him a better angle than he would've had if he was playing straight up. So I think he saw it go glove side and thought "I can get that" but then it ended up being too deep. That's Cedric's ball 100/100 and if Holliday didn't chase after it I think Mullins gets there, but they've probably barely been on the field together. That kind of stuff will work itself out with time.

Wait, it's not on MLB.TV? I can't remember what plays what anymore! My brain is scrambled from all the subscription hopping and having to remember to cancel free trials!!

He's literally having a field constructed in his yard in AZ. Neighbors are pissed! https://nypost.com/2024/04/05/sports/former-mlb-all-star-j-j-hardy-angers-neighbors-with-mini-baseball-field-project-for-his-backyard/

Are you sure? The website doesn't mention that. I just added a rookie plan into my cart - I already have a pro, so I can't actually try and check out with it.

Get the flex plan! Go to whatever games you want and get 15% off face value. Plus you'll get dibs to OD and playoff games (which you can flip for profit!!! )

Urias is a respectable 3-7 (.429) vs. Sandoval. Mateo is 0-2. Pretty sure Urias will be on 3rd. Hays and Santander also have nice #'s vs Sandoval (albeit limited at bats).

It's basically been a given that Henderson was going to get most of the time at SS this year. Hyde said he'd "primarily" play SS. He'll still play 3b at times...but obviously way less and probably not starts.

I mentioned this after the 1st ST game and I've watched several ST games since, and I've felt the same about each of his at bats - to me, he looks like he's pressing to impress a bit this year. He's taking big cuts. Last year, he was probably just happy to be up, and he looked good. He wasn't in over his head. Not a huge sample, but he drew 4 walks to 4 ks in 2023 ST. He was also basically 1/1 in AAA and basically every stop. I've been hoping all along that he makes OD....I think his eye is good enough (and learning curve short enough) right now that he should be in the OD starting lineup. I'm hoping he makes it and that settles him some. I'd hate to see him get sent down for service time only to press to get sent back up and start out in a funk. Sportsfan mentioned it a page or two back also, but to me, Urias has to be odd man out. I don't dislike him and know he has value, but.......somebody's gotta go.

I originally misinterpreted the 50%....I was thinking exchange=forward. You can exchange 50% of the tickets for the Reserved Membership (actual game plans) on a dollar for dollar swap. You can do whatever you want (within the limitations of the specific level) with tickets purchased through the Flex Membership.

Interesting. I'll use 50%+, but that's definitely good to know. What about sales? Do they count as exchanges? Actually, can you post a link? I've been looking for a while now...can't find the fine print on the plans. FOUND IT: https://www.mlb.com/orioles/tickets/season-tickets/guide

Same here. I had a 13 game Sunday plan for years that I gave up in 2018, but I looove playoff and OD games. I jumped back in to buy a 2024 plan simply to have access to 2023 playoffs, and then being able to get OD and 2024 playoffs would just be a bonus. When you commit the money and can then spend it however you want, the plans are pretty hard to beat (as long as you go to at least a small handful of games per year). We got tickets to a few promo giveaway games and will probably spend the remainder on random weeknight games for slightly better $eats.

This is literally a thread about high OD prices. I'm so sorry you don't approve, but I promise you I'm not worried about what anyone here thinks of how I spend my money. Not bragging. Sorry you seem offended. I've paid secondary market prices myself for certain games - I'm a fan of capitalism so it is what it is, there are pros and cons. I've also offered PLAYOFF tickets on this site at face value (exchange). Was simply making the point that they're selling for 3.5x face....in a thread about high OD prices.

Just sold them! Section 208. 3 tickets. Bought them for $294 total ($90 each plus $24 in fees) and just sold them for $349 each, or $1,047. My cut will be $942 after fees. That pays for buying the 3 OD tickets plus more than half of the $1200 for my plan.

I pulled the trigger on a $1200 flex last fall to get playoff tickets. Glad I did!! I won't use all $1200 personally, but I've spread the word to friends who might want tickets to a game or two. They benefit from my 15% discount while helping me deplete the $1200. It really is a no brainer if you go to even a few games. I just went and checked SeatGeek....my seats are estimated to sell for $308-$328 each plus I've had a schedule conflict pop up on 3/28 since I bought them. Hate to say it, but I'm probably pulling the trigger on selling them via SeatGeek. I could pay for nearly half of my plan with the profit. Prices are craaaaazy. I just texted my kids to get their thoughts.
