Disappointing to leave runners on base as always, otherwise good stuff from the pitchers.

Beats the hell out of Matt Harvey’s of the world going out there! I’ll enjoy it while it lasts and hope it lasts for a long time!

This is absolutely true. Plate discipline is something this team has truly lacked for…years. And RMC’s recent ability to take a walk is extremely encouraging!!

He reminds me of Felix Pie. Give him every chance to succeed;

Outside my usher who is outstanding, I do not feel like they do enough for STH. We , like many have had them for many years and maybe something like a hat, or a laniard that says STH or Something, anything that thanks us for being with this team through the tough times. Maybe I’m being over dramatic, but I just don’t feel appreciated. I have the 29 game plan. I can’t tell you how many games a year, on average, I have to trade tickets in to get a give away night. I know it’s probably dumb luck, but maybe they could put the give away on nights where they 29 or or higher games already have tickets. Or at least the bobble heads or shirts? Maybe dumb luck? Again, from the OP, outside of going up and above to management as suggested here which I plan to do, our season rep has just not helpful. We have a ton of points, why can’t I use them in the way I want. Everyone knows they have to a of giveaway extras, or, heck, give them to us in addition. Just again… the customer service is bad. I thought of one last example that I’ll share from this year. A few games after opening day we went to a game, week night I want to say a Wednesday, sat in our normal section, behind home plate upper deck 3nn (don’t want to say specifically where) . Now our Normal seats are row DD meaning about 15 rows up. Since there was literally no one there, we sat down lower. When we walked in through the opening into the section we hung a right. Our normal usher was not there. An usher came over and asked to see our tickets. I looked at him and asked “really?” He made us move back up, to our normal seats when there was with no exaggeration 20 people in the entire section. Now look: letter of the law , fine, if I had moved into someone who showed up’s seats, I’d move. If instead we went from 3nn to like section 65 and 4 rows off the field, I could understand. But literally there were like 20 people I could see: No one else in that entire section showed up the rest of the night. Anyway, to be honest, it’s never one Giant thing, it’s a culmination of a ton of little things, like what I’ve shared here that just piss me off. But I’d expect better and more from an ownership group trying not only to get fans in the stands, but keep the ones they have had for a very long time, thanks for listening everyone Mike

Correct. It’s unclear and confusing. But the general idea is or should be to bring fans and kids in the stadium. What should they care if it’s 4 or 6 with the way attendance is. I think it cost $30? $40? Per kid. So…if that’s only 1 game…jeez… anyway, in fear it is now irrelevant.

My Dear Frobby I fear the damage is done with dad. This isn’t the first incident with the ST reps or the Orioles being unhelpful, however I fear for dad it’s the last. And that really breaks my heart.

Hi everyone, My father and I have had season tickets since ‘89 back at Memorial stadium. 29 games, go to as many as dads health allows. We are diehard fans, hence my daily reading here and occasional posts. I wanted to take a few minutes to write this up and share another disappointing customer service experience/PR for the Orioles to season ticket holders for 30+ years My father bought his grandkids, the dugout club starting in 2016. Obviously last year cancelled it, but we still got our backpacks and laniards for the kids. So this week he called to try to do a few things with our points and also with getting tickets for the kids to go. So we called our ST rep. first; our rep informed us that we cannot use our points for a specific give away in the past or future. For example getting a Cedric Mullins shirt. Well, we know this isn’t true as the people that sit next to us did just did it , but let’s ignore that: He said, we could get a pot luck signed item from a “present or past” oriole: Righhhht….no interest in a Freddy Bynum signed paper. Ok, so he agreed to get one thing for my nephew I think a signed picture of Mullins and then they were nice enough (in appearance) to let us pick up the giveaway for tonight’s game a day early to save dad a trip down , and me too from driving, walking parking etc. even sent a confirmation email. So we get there last night to pick up the items, and the lady informs us that you cannot pick up the bobble head. In fact they haven’t come in yet. [bull$hit] Dad proceeded to show her the email and asked to speak to the girl that he talk to who was standing over in the corner. Then she comes over and says oh I was mistaken sorry about that. Dad was very upset suffice to say. Second: back to the phone call. We tried to purchase some tickets for the dugout club for a future game only to find out that the dugout club has been canceled and since replaced with the kids cheer free. Ok fine. Confusing, but fine. Now, in the past, the dugout club was a number of games I believe four possibly even six games in which the kids got to go for free as long as the parents bought tickets. So, we asked how we were going to be compensated for already having the passes, the lanyards, and everything for the dugout club for 2020 and 2021. They told us that we could have one game for the kids and we would have to buy tickets and then the kids cheered free. of course those are only in certain sections too, not in our general area etc. As a season ticket holders I kind of hoped given the inconvenience, or confusion, or terrible communication on their end, or he’ll even just for good PR/ customer service they would allow us just to bring the kids during one of the games we already have instead tickets for instead of having to purchase tickets and or trade-in tickets but they were not interested in customer service. Those are the rules and that’s it. In slight defense of the rep, he was clearly following a script and was not allowed to deviate from it whatsoever. To me that just indicates that the Orioles do not care about their long term season ticket holders, nor do they care about putting fans in the stands. I know we talk a lot on this site about things like this, and I just wanted to share. My father was so pissed off he told me he’s not getting tickets next year and won’t go to a game even if I keep them. Now, maybe he changes his mind once he cools down, but I’m not sure he will. And that makes me too not really feel like going, The whole experience is time with my dad or the kids. And If the orioles don’t care, why should I. I’ll still root for my birds, chat here, watch on TV, but last night might’ve been the last game I go to for a very long time.

Thanks SG. Interesting to me that Means/Mancini are the ones most mentioned and little of Santander. I wonder if teams are finally catching on that he is a walking M*A*S*H unit. I'd absolutely trade Means to the Rays for Baz and Brujan. Don't think they would....but, worth the ask. I'd also entertain a trade to the Mets centered around J.T. Ginn. I think he's a TOR starter. He's recovering from surgery and we may be able to cash in and hope he rebounds well. If not a trade around Alexander Ramirez is a good start for me.

Some people just don’t get it... Elias is saying and doing all the right things. At some point the prospects (players) have to produce or be replaced.

It’s so great to see fans back here. Best day of the year!

Good morning Birdland! The best day of the year!!!! Who all is going! I’ll be in my normal seats in section 330! Hope you all will be getting out today!! Come by and say hi to ol’ Yay Mike! let’s go o’s!!!!

For a PTBNL!

I think it’s somewhere between the color of friendship and the color of money

I’m curious if something has clicked for him. Watching his last three starts, makes me almost excited to want to watch him pitch every fifth day. He seems to have a good idea how to approach hitters. Color me intrigued

Why was he pulled after 80 pitches? I tuned in late
