Can't you just print the emailed ticket and they scan that at the gates?

Just kidding on that one. This isn't really a facility improvement, but to go along with the concession improvements suggestions, I have enjoyed the ballparks and stadiums I've been to that use Bypass Lane. Maybe incorporating that or another system if there is one.

A new nameplate on the owner's suite?

If this is the case as the future heart of the order, who do we have in the system as the higher average/obp guys? I'll admit I was disappointed in us not picking Martin given the painful on-base years we've had.

Yup, this is the main thing for me. These two are my favorite broadcast duo.

All but a few of the teams' ST hats turned out really bad, but Baltimore's may be the worst of the bunch. It's also available in black and white...can't tell which is worse. https://www.mlbshop.com/baltimore-orioles/mens-baltimore-orioles-new-era-black/white-2020-batting-practice-59fifty-fitted-hat/t-69556362+p-145195567933+z-8-3112330579?_ref=p-DLP:m-GRID:i-r4c0:po-12

61 - I clearly have blocked out a good portion of the 1998-2011 time period from my head. 83% on the reliables one, thogh

I thought that part of his instagram post stuck out a little, too. Play nice, there's enough to go around. I wonder what he thinks might be happening.

NESN was available to stream through PlayStation Vue the last couple of seasons and in the Boston market. I don't know what the constraints are, but as a stand-alone service or through something like Vue or Sling or whatever, I really hope it becomes available.

I remember when Ray first came up thinking that he would be the anchor to our bullpen that we needed. He was, for a short time, someone to be excited during those years. And then it all went down quickly. Now, I live about five minutes away from his brewery - him and his brother make some good stuff.

Orioles and VCU Rams I became a Cowboys fan when I was 5 in the late 80s, but haven't really followed the NFL in years. I would keep up with the Ravens as an AFC team because of my love for the O's and the City.

Too bad no VCU night this year. I missed out on it last season and was hoping to get up there for it this go 'round.

I thought it was interesting that Roch mentioned it like this, especially with some of the questions recently around who was leading those negotiations.

I gave a B/B-, but I think it may be too early for a couple of the trades to really know. I was pleased with the Manny and Britton trades, but thought we could have done better with Gausman and Schoop. I was actually hoping those two would have been paired together for a bigger return. But, and I'm sorry if this has been said already, I scanned through the posts and didn't read every one, the biggest part of the rebuild to me are the changes DD addressed after the Manny trade. The rebuild needs to be from the top down and isn't just about the players. The changes in organizational philosophies are crucial as we've seen how this team has been run for the last 20+ years. If there really are widespread improvements to scouting and player development and more investment in analytics and the international market, then this rebuild will be successful. If not, then it really doesn't matter who we got/get in these trades.
