Almost makes me weepy thinking about the last 15 years. I've maintained my season tickets throughout this time. I have three sons and a number of friends who are Orioles fans. Do you know how many times I've had to beg someone to go to the games with me? A lot of cold Aprils and hot humid August games sitting by myself because I couldn't convince anyone that going to the game would be worth the effort? The saddest part is that I really couldn't blame them. I can almost taste the success that is close at hand. If not this season, soon!

I know, it does, but we're not there yet. I am not ready to let the balloons fly until we've at least locked in a record above .500.

Props for keeping your ticket plan in place all these years.

I wonder how they sell tickets if there is a wild-card tie and there has to be an extra playoff game that wasn't scheduled in advance. There would basically be no time to send out advance tickets for that. Walk-up? That would be awesome.

I was unable to renew my partial plan this year due to an overall lack of finances.

I never regretted it until this moment.

Dude, I could have renewed, but once the O's started winning, I nixed that idea. It would have been a jinx of epic proportions.

I could or renewed also and didn't. Do not regret it. If I would have renewed we would have the #2 overall pick.

I'm confused... I have 2 tickets in the 13 game plan... will I be able to get two tickets to every game in every playoff series? Don't really care when they go on sale or what seats I get. Just need to be there.

No. You will not. You will be able to get two tickets for one game in each series. They will sell to the public after all the season ticket holders choices are settled. I assume that if you are diligent, you will be able to get some of those as well.

      Clubhouse issues?

      The problem with that last statement is that this indeed is a business. And guys want to get paid and be fairly compensated. They all recognize that they have a short window to make life changing money.

      Are we done?

      I haven’t looked at his innings closely but I could see McDermott being tried as a reliever late in the season.

      McDermott is probably not there to preserve his image as a starter to potential trade partners, and if he is still here on July 31st, I'd expect to see him in our pen shortly. I do still want another solid RP, also preferably a lefty, and Sam Moll would fit the bill perfectly without breaking the bank.

      @hgizzle what is so hard to understand about what I said? The stupid look emoji is well stupid. Offer some thoughts to the conversation. Thanks

      Organizational Turmoil?

      By jdwilde1 · Posted

      I agree, with the caveat that Santander is a different animal than Hays and Mullins.  Santander plays every day and is having a career year going into FA.  It’s really the situation that every player wants. Meanwhile, Hays and Mullins are platooning after being every day players, and are having poor seasons.     I am sure Hays thought he had earned the right to play through his rough start, but it always doesn’t work out that way.    The thing I really want to see is what the O’s off-season looks like with Rubenstein’s ownership compared to JA.

      Grade the Hays for Dominguez/Pache trade

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      It’s a fair trade.  We needed another late inning reliever and Pache helps with late inning defense.     Pache is an abysmal hitter though so hopefully he doesn’t get too many starts or late at bats.

      Organizational Turmoil?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      It feels like a stretch to me that players being in Norfolk is hurting the vibes on the Major League team.  If those players come up, they will take jobs or playing time from current players.   Obviously, if there is a perception that we’re playing service time games instead of fielding our best players, then that could hurt morale.  However, I’m skeptical that current players are outraged that Mountcastle/O’Hearn/Westburg are playing over Mayo right now in the same way that some fans may be. Goon references veteran players in contract years - I’m pretty sure that’s only Santander and Burnes who are not feeling any competition from young players and both made the all-star team. With regard to long term extensions, it seems a bit silly to say young players want long term extensions but are being blocked by their agents and this is hurting morale. Boras has never inked an extension for a player with less than two years service time like Gunnar or Westy. Adley and his GF are from the Pacific Northwest- maybe they want to eventually be closer to home.  GRod, Cowser, and Kjerstad may be viewed as more risky candidates for an extension by Elias.  It’s not clear to me that Goon’s column represents any actual reporting as opposed to pure speculation.
