2 things ........

 

A. ) We're playing 3 games at Yankee Stadium on April 12th, 13th, and 14. There are tickets as cheap as $5 directly on the Yankee site (no joke), and as cheap as $4 on Stub Hub. Would any of you like to go to these games, and possibly meet up before and/or after the game(s) ???

 

B. ) One poster talked about an Opening Day part, where a bunch of us can get together and watch the first game (I have free Opening Day tickets from being Fan of the Game in the last 4 games of the season last year, but I may be giving them away.) Are any of you that won't be making the 4-hour trip to Baltimore interested ??? Thanks.

If you're giving away tickets to opening day, I'll take them. :) And yes, I'll make the 4hr drive to Bmore.

I might be down for the 13th. Depends if I can get off, and what bus fare would be for the trip.

Yankee Stadium is a blast.

Last games I was up there were in June 2008, where the Orioles and Guthrie pasted the Yankees, and (I think) July 2009 where Hernandez battled Pettitte and Matsui hit the walkoff.

Who says that Oriole fans don't travel as well as Yank fans and Red Sox fans ??? ) :D

I've seen the Orioles at Yankee Stadium before, and I'll probably try to catch a game again this year. It's no Oriole Park, but it's a nice place to see a game.

Yankee Stadium and its surrounding area isn't half as great as the atmosphere of OPACY and the inner harbor, and Little Italy a mile down Pratt Street.

    • i think they have to make a trade for it to happen, no?  and, i agree with you.  he needs to be up here!
    • He just doesn't seem ready to me. The only thing to do is send him down. It's a huge leap from AAA to the majors and it's showing. And not just at bat where he looks like a single A guy trying to hit off Cy Young. He is really shaky in the field and even his throws seem slow. I think keeping him up here is a mistake for the team and for Jackson at this point. Let him go back to Norfolk and have him work on his fielding at second and fine tune his swing and his approach at bat. I feel bad for the kid but even worse if he continues to flail (and fail) at bat after at bat up here.  
    • He only threw a 55% of his pitches for strikes and only missed 6 bats but yet he only let up 5 base runners. Odd start. Wasn’t really good but it didn’t hurt him either.
    • Oh, and Kremer hit 97, a good sign. 
    • Agree. Kremer deserved better. Oh well, that’s baseball. 
    • I’m guessing:  1. Gunnar - SS 2. Adley - DH 3. Mountcastle - 1B 4. Santander - RF 5. Westburg - 3B 6. Mullins - CF 7. Hays - LF 8. Urias - 2B 9. McCann - C Hyde may flip Hays and Mullins for righty/lefty reasons. 
    • 2. The Other Baby Birds We get it, Orioles: You’ve got talent. Adley Rutschman, Gunnar Henderson, and Jackson Holliday are consensus top prospects from three consecutive years, which is ridiculous when you stop and think about it. They’re slam dunk great hitters, all of them. They even have the same flowing golden locks and questionable facial hair choices. (In Henderson’s defense, his mustache is allegedly only still around because he broke out when shaving it off.) The future of the Orioles is a great baseball club that looks like a prep school lacrosse team. Plot twist: Those guys have been a mixed bag so far this year. Henderson is mashing, to the tune of a 171 wRC+, but Rutschman hasn’t found his power stroke yet; he checks in at a disappointing 106 wRC+. Holliday got a late start, and he’s still searching for his first extra-base hit. In aggregate, the three have put up a 110 wRC+, not what you’d hope for from a trio of franchise saviors. Not to worry, though. The other prospects the Orioles have amassed in recent years are more than picking up the slack. Michael Baumann — our Michael Baumann, not Baltimore’s — already covered Colton Cowser’s hot start, with the 250 wRC+ and homers to parts of the stadium that no one was even sure existed. But that might undersell how outrageously fun his start has been. The nicknames are coming in hot and heavy. Fans are already calling him “The Milkman.” The Camden Yards faithful moo every time he comes to the plate. “They’re not booing, they’re saying (word)” is a pretty common sports trope, but “They’re not booing, they’re mooing” is definitely a new one for me. Cow masks at the stadium are just par for the course now: Cowser might be turning fans into cow people, but another O’s youngster is breaking out just as much at the same time. Jordan Westburg isn’t a rookie – he played half a season last year and looked like a steady contributor. He’s off to nearly as hot of a start as Cowser, though, and he’s doing it in huge spots. He keeps coming up with runners on base, and he keeps racking up extra bases and RBI. Is his start sustainable? Probably not. It’s hard to run a .349 BABIP, hard to have as many extra-base hits as singles, hard to barrel 12.5% of your batted balls and make hard contact 62.5% of the time without huge raw power. But his approach looks legit, and it’s not like he’s hitting those doubles and home runs by accident. He has a solid approach and a fly ball swing. The stadium isn’t a plus for him given the bite out of the left field fence, but he looks like a nice everyday contributor at worst, and I’m willing to dream on a little more than that. He can also handle second and third defensively, which suits Baltimore’s roster quite well. That doesn’t even mention Coby Mayo and Heston Kjerstad, who are absolutely annihilating Triple-A at the moment. Connor Norby and Kyle Stowers have started hot. Yes, the O’s are headlined by their flaxen-haired top trio, but there are more reinforcements waiting in the wings, and the other birds are helping to drive the offense right now. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/five-things-i-liked-or-didnt-like-this-week-april-19/
