I have seen more Orioles gear today in Baltimore than any day since Opening Day. While eating lunch, I saw two Markakis T-shirts and a Wieters T-shirt out of 25 people, and got complimented on my Orioles hoodie.

Monday is usually the worst attendance of any day in baseball. I don't see more then 18,000. I think the weekend and if the O's have a good stretch with the Texas games might be some really nice crowds. The Saturday game ,that was the statue day might have been sold out. Mother's Day is not always a great draw either. Get your Mom or wife a nice sun hat.

I will be there tonight, Wednesday and Friday. I really don't expect more than 20,000 tonight, but taking 2-3 of 4 from Texas could mean 35,000+ on Friday. I am hoping there where will be a good ovation for Chris Davis before his first at bat.

I'm flying up tomorrow for Tuesday and Wednesdays games ;)

That's OK. I'll get my revenge in the final 3 games of the season at OPACY, in which I will get "Fan of the Game" for one of them, and the extra perks that go along with that (the "Fan of the Game" for the final 3 games of the season gets considerably more than the "Fan of the Game" gets for the other 78 games of the year at OPACY). :boogie: :)

If there was a bump in attendance after the great road trip and the epic 17 inning win, it wasn't noticeable.

I was there and you would have thought it was a little league game instead of a game involving the two best teams in the AL.

Still 132 games to go and the O's have lost alot of fans over the years. As have been said in many threads.the fans won't be back till July at the earliest. The O's would have to be winning and in a real pennant race. The rest of the week should be low attendance with a little spike over the weekend. Saturday,because of the ticket exchange and Mother's day might not be big attendance days. The O's will have some good crowds for the Phillies and a little less for the Nats. To get the fans to come to weekday games will take alot more winning. We shall see if the good start is a memory in July.

The O's have the eighth worst attendance in baseball and is trending down.

That was a pretty disappointing crowd after the great road trip, but I can't say I was that surprised. They'll have to keep winning until school gets out to see weeknight attendance have any significant pickup.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs.

      Don’t sleep on Povich getting a chance to eliminate the team that traded him away. That kind of stuff matters. The little extra…

      I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.

      It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
