Only people that get to are the people that are physically incapable of standing.

I was in the first row of section 214 last night. I had a gentleman behind me that couldn't have been older than 35 who, while not incapable of standing, had lost both of his legs and had prosthetics. I asked him at the beginning of the game if it was going to bother him if I stood often, and he replied, "If you don't, I'll throw you over the railing."

That is awesome!

I'm glad I was able to be part of it. It is the kind of game that makes a fan a fan forever. No matter what happens from here on in, the Orioles needed this year to resuscitate a dormant love for the franchise. Lots of orange walking around Baltimore today.

I'm finally back home. I had the best time of my life at that game. I'll never forget the whole thing, from eating at Thames Street Oyster House on the recommendation of an OHer, to the game, to the guy behind me in left yelling at Ichiro, "Me love you long time."

And 22 hours later, my voice still ain't right.

Besides the fact that it was fun to be there, I'm proud that the Baltimore fans showed the nation, and the team, just how strongly they can support the Orioles. I'm sure it boosted the team a lot.

I'd love to see a lot more packed houses and energetic crowds during the regular season next year.

At the end of the day, Orioles fans showed everyone that they can be as loud or louder than most fan bases when given an opportunity. That crowd had 14 years of losing built up underneath. I wasn't surprised at all about the crowd noise, Orioles fans did their team, city and fans that couldn't be there proud.

And I'm still reading comments from jackhole Yankee fans saying stupid stuff like "oh, where were these fans a couple years ago." You know, because when the Yankees had their (admittedly short) down period, Yankee Stadium attendance didn't go down. That's a fan base that really needs a 15 year dry spell from winning seasons just to gain some perspective. Red Sox fans have the same problem, but they're more self deluded about that stuff. Yankee fans are just spoiled.

Um where are all the Yankees fans??? As of yesterday afternoon (and possibly still today), they had not sold out any of their home games for this series. There were still a large number of tickets for all games, and tomorrow's and Friday's were almost wide open ticket wise. Just for the record Yankees fans, we sold our WC, ALDS, and ALCS games out within an hour of being available. I know all Yankees fans are used to being in the playoffs but there are 15million people on that island in any given day...almost 3 times as many people as there are in the entire state of Maryland. So that can blow those criticisms out of the ear as far as I'm concerned.

Loudest sporting event ever, anywhere!!! We should be proud though I'd say we were louder on Sunday (that may have been the booze impairing my judgement though).

Eh... the puny Orioles are just a mere stepping stone to the real goal. The ALDS is small potatoes. I'm sure they'll show up to support the team in the World Series when it "really" matters.

:rolleyes:

I don't mean to be a stick in the mud, because I know the stadium was really loud. It was loud on Sunday night when I was there, and in the 9th inning on Monday night, those fans had a lot more to cheer about. There's no doubt the Baltimore fans unleashed 15 years of frustration and it came out very loudly. We should be proud of ourselves and I don't want to take anything away from that. But am I the only one who doesn't believe that an outdoor stadium with 48,000 people is REALLY the loudest stadium ever recorded? Louder than any domed stadium or even open-air stadium for a football game? I saw something yesterday that said the highest decibel ever recorded at the SuperDome was something like 109. I'm sorry, I just have a hard time buying that. It just doesn't seem logical that an open-air stadium with 48K could possibly be louder than an indoor one with 60K plus. Am I wrong?

      And Ramon Urias as well. Urias might eventually get squeezed out or turn into a backup, but he's been a vital part the last few years while we've been waiting on prospects to make their way up the farm system.

      A philosophical question re offense and defense

      By Frobby · Posted

      I’ll now answer my own question.  Even though these three players are theoretically equivalent from a run differential standpoint, I would not want the player who’s -10 on defense.  That’s because I believe that poor defense bothers pitchers, causes them to try to do too much, and demoralizes them.  So maybe the fielder isn’t “responsible” in a WAR calculation when the rattled pitcher serves up gopher ball or walks the next guy after a poor defensive play, but there’s cause and effect there IMO.  So, give me someone who plays at least decent defense.   And, I think the Orioles feel the same way.

      Really!? It's called baseball? Thanks for letting me know!   They are going to lose more games than they win when the starting pitcher has a sucky night. They can't score ten runs a night. The thread is about discussing Grayson Rodriquez's pitching. Just saying his performance doesn't really matter is incorrect and an uninteresting take.

      Exactly. If you go down a list of the leaderboards of velo leaders and note all their injuries, there’s a lot of them. But if you instead just take a list of all 30+ year old pitchers and sort it however you like, I don’t expect it’s going to look all that different.

      Aram loves the pitch metrics on Povich and McDermott. Was effusive in his spring podcast going through Os top prospects.

      Let’s also give the org credit for the O’Hearn pickup.  He was part of last night’s lineup.  For that matter, they picked up Mateo too.

      Thank you.  Not sure how easy for someone who may have been doing it for years and someone who’s been talented enough to make it work.   Someone posted a video of Freddie Freeman and Holliday to show similarities but, to me, it just showed how different their lead foot was.  Freeman’s was closed and perfectly in line and parallel to his back foot.  Hollidays foot pointed out and the foot towards 2B position.  I questioned it.  Other guys, who admittedly know more, said it was no problem.  Again, he might be able to become a HOF with those mechanics.  I’ve just never seen a good ML hitter hit that way. From that early January thread “I guess it depends on your definition of “step in the bucket”.  His stride foot definitely doesn’t go straight.  Pretty easy to see where his foot is in relation to the batters box and how much further away it is when it lands.  It doesn’t seem to affect him negatively though.  Interestingly enough, Freeman’s stride foot goes perfectly straight.” Edited January 6 by RZNJ
