Before I write a lengthier post, I have a question for those of you in favor of dogs over Tasers. Is this only due to their intimidating presence, or their ability to subdue someone?

K-9's are an incredibly intimidating presence and will stop people in their tracks. Ive helped train them and witnessed their effectiveness both here and overseas. They are not a viable option with the length of games and crowds of people. They are more job specific and not for "stand-by" security.

I just thought of a better solution. When someone enters the field, both benches should come out. With bats.

We should simply make it Kevin Gregg's job to tackle these people. He's gotta do somethin

Frankly, after reading some of the responses, it seems none of these solutions are really perfect. To me, it comes back to the punishment. Make it something more than an nonenforceable perma-ban from O's games and these incidents will decrease. Oh, and stop giving them 10min on the evening news.

This goes with my thought on seeing last night's lowlight - at least that idiot had the sense to be running in the direction of Mark Reynolds. Reynolds hasn't hit anything all year.

I think there should be an allowed quota of number of guys per year running on the field. Say 5 dudes per year are allowed to run on the field with no penalty, or maybe even a reward if they can make it across the field without getting caught. Beginning with the sixth guy they should release dobermans and/or those flesh eating hogs in that Hannibal Lecter movie.

First, I want to point out that the idiot ran toward Mark Reynolds in the on-deck circle (and the dugout) after he got up, so if I were Major League Baseball I would thank Jeff Kellogg for preventing a possible confrontation between the idiot and any players. Great job Jeff!

And second, I checked again, and sure enough, no empirical data has been brought forward to prove in any way that tasers (or any ECD's) have directly caused the death of any persons. Not one case. Ever. You run from the nice police man, zap! :mwahaha:

So, hook these jagoffs up with some voltage. Just sayin'!

Or maybe we should break out the pepperball guns. That would be even more fun actually. And the idiot would feel it for more than the 5 second taser ride.

Seriously, if a player gets hurt by one of these clowns, lawsuits will fly and the fan interaction with the players as we know it will be over. MLB and Baltimore PD need to get a handle on this immediately. It really looks bad on them.

      Yea.  I feel the same way.  I really do not care strongly one way or another.  Sure, I think it's kind of ugly.  I also think HR's came pretty cheap before.  I like the exciting defensive plays it fosters and of course the random triple & odd carom make for some fun and unique moments.  But I don't think it helps or hurts the team in any substantial way short of helping out the pitching a little.   I sure don't think the players are changing their approaches.  If they keep it as is, that's fine with me.  If they modify it some way, that's fine with me as well.  It does seem like there is some opportunity for some unique seats down there by modifying it slightly.  When I first saw it, it almost appeared like a construction Phase 1.  That might be reasoning for pushing it back so far, allows them some flexibility in the future.   I also don't buy that a Free Agent RH hitter is going to care at all about the wall.   They are getting paid regardless.  I'd think that 1-maximizing payday 2-playing for a winner 3-finding a location that suits your family would be your priorities and your long-term stat line would be very close to the bottom of your list of concerns.

      Any updates on the renovations to OPACY?

      By SteveA · Posted

      Yeah but if you think most of this money is going to upgrade things that are wrong or need improving, such as the ones @accinfo lists, I think you'll be disappointed.   They will be for new features, each one designed to create revenue via premium seating or premium "experience" areas or attractions that bring non baseball fans to the park to spend or sports betting related things. I'm not saying they won't fix some basic things that need it like upgrading the sound system or improving the point of sale technology.   I'm sure they will.   But the focus is going to be on the new attractions which are all designed with revenue enhancement in mind.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      I’m not a lawyer … perhaps @Frobbymight know. Loss of income, future revenues? Damage to their franchise….Even with MASN the Orioles lost a ton on annual tv revenues

      2024 Week 5: Ravens @ Bengals

      By Aglets · Posted

      Congrats to the offense on playing a heck of a game. Lamar was incredible to watch, especially the play when the snap ended up on the ground and he had to run away towards the sideline and still found Likely for the score. It's very frustrating to me that the offense HAD to play so well because of the poor coaching and abysmal defensive play.  It's odd to me that Harbaugh still messes up timeout usage after being a coach in the league for over 15 years.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By CP0861 · Posted

      I have a 3 hour round trip to get to games. I can't speak about other directions, but the stadium is very easy to get to from the south...some more traffic with the earlier start times, but overall - games are VERY easy to get to, imo. You don't have the hike through the city to get to games. I'm a rural guy, and it's really not a big deal. We took the light rail from Cromwell for Game 1 (I usually park in BC or FGH) and it was a breeze. We walked out right after the game, and we immediately caught a direct bus that took us back to Cromwell directly. We did the same thing last year. I gotta be honest - I think the "they've been horrible for half the season" reasoning is pretty lame. Even when they were down (and dealing with significant injuries) after the AS break, they were still essentially a lock to make the playoffs. Then they get healthy-ish with some key guys back riiiiight before the playoffs and look great for a couple of series - but I guess it was too late for everyone?  Come on.  Just say you didn't feel like it. But don't blame August play for not showing up in October.
