Who will be there on opening day?

I'll be there. Our Company is closed for Good Friday and the owner bought all of the employees tickets. (small company 10 employees.) I know we are sitting somewhere upstairs. Can't wait. It's been about ten years since I've been to an opening day.

Sounds like you work for a good company and have a great owner. What you described is pretty rare in today's business environment.

Hang10- You are correct on both counts. We try to do something as a company several times a year, Christmas Party, cookout, etc. We all get along pretty well, and doing stuff like this enhances the good feeling. The owner has had a 30 game plan for the the past five or six years. This is the first time that we have been closed on Opening Day, so he took advantage of the opportunity to put this together. I agree, a situation like this is rare in today's business environment.

I'm trying to go to my 24th straight. This is the most uncertain I've been about tickets but I'm gonna give it my best to keep the streak going...

Pump your brakes...I'm no expert, it's been awhile since I've been to an OD. But you can't get tix for the Orioles OD? It can't be that hard, can it?

Some SRO tickets popped up on Ticketmaster this morning. They're gone now, I think, but you could keep checking in case others are added.

Basement . big lounge chair , within reach of the min-fridge. I went to around 20 straight opening days between 66 and 87, and since then only sporadically. Maybe If I started going again I could bring some of that 70's Mojo with me.

Best memory, 1975 Palmer pitches 3 hitter, my car broke down and I took a bus to the game and back to my car to get it towed afterwards. Better Now than back than LOL

Opening Day is sold out, and has been essentially sold out for weeks. Saturday will draw about 9,000, but people here still love Opening Day.

Good seats! Ever get a HR ball?

Not yet, but plenty of close ones. One of these days it'll happen. I still love seeing myself on TV in the highlights of almost every game I attend.

This section has one of the best ushers I've encountered - Kelly. Well worth saying hi to her if you're ever there.

    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
    • I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.
    • This is exactly what EDC said tonight     
    • My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
