"The Orioles are expected to reach out on Monday to fans who bought tickets online to Saturday?s game against the Red Sox and give them a voucher for a future game.

With protests in the area for Freddie Gray, the O?s crowd was significantly smaller than expected as many stayed away from downtown Baltimore. Those who were in attendance were mandated to stay inside Camden Yards by the city?s police department and mayor?s office for part of the game and advised of the safest routes to get home.

Those who bought Saturday tickets at the box office will get more information later the week on how to go about getting a voucher."

There are some wild rumors of extreme violence in Baltimore right now. Does anyone think that games could be postponed as a result? Baseball is small potatoes compared to what's happening there right now, so I'd think that the safety of everyone involved would be the top priority.

Not really rumors.

The police claim they have creditable information that several gangs have join together to take out law enforcement people.

Pretty frightening stuff. If you're in town right now, be safe. It's a sad state of affairs to say the least.

John Angelos speaks and defends protestors:

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/04/orioles-john-angelos-baltimore-protests-mlb

I never thought I would ever agree with an Angelos...some wise words spoken here. Some far left-leaning economic viewpoints, but not something that is terribly inaccurate.

The protests were largely peaceful before things broke out with younger, more violent youth grabbing the headline. I repeat, most of these protests during the day were peaceful.

We all value the job the police do. We all have friends that are officers. I have some very close friends that are officers. That doesn't mean things can't and shouldn't improve. Petty crime and drug addiction doesn't justify death here or anywhere in this country. At the same time, the police have a very dangerous job to do and must not be the targets.

Cameras on officers not only protect the people, but the officers and department from unjustified lawsuits.

Things will improve, they must.

I also defend the right to protest but the people that got into fights with Oriole and Red Sox fans and tried to steal purses from patrons where not there to protest.

Hard to argue with that. Those individuals were uneducated individuals with little in the way of role models ever in their lives. Sad. Very sad.

Let's stay away for the politics of the situation. I appreciate that the Orioles take it all seriously.

Any idea if they are going to offer something or postpone tonight's game in light of this?

Staying away from politics just wanted anyone going to the game tonight or thinking of it to be aware.

Also this from the Sun:

e University of Maryland Baltimore, citing concerns about potentially violent activity in the area, abruptly closed its downtown campus Monday.

It was one of several Baltimore businesses, including Mondawmin Mall, T. Rowe Price and Lexington Market, that closed early Monday.

In a statement, UMB cited "scheduled activities today beginning at 3 p.m."

According to widely circulated flier, a high school "purge" was to take place at 3 p.m., starting at Mondawmin and ending downtown.

No problem sir. I remember last year (I think it was), a game getting rained out at Norfolk. We decided not to drive down (3+ hours) to see the games. The Tides would not refund or offer a credit. I contacted the Orioles and they offered me a free set of tickets for our troubles. The customer service of the Orioles has grown leaps and bounds since Buck arrived. I am very thankful for that.

      I’d love to see a total redo of the concessions. The food for the most part sucks. The concessions are ridiculously priced for the offering both in quality and portion. I know they have discounts and stuff for “Birdland Memberships” season ticket plans. My company has tickets but they isn’t anyway to bestow the discounts to the folks using the tickets. Just price the stuff fairly to begin with an quit all of the game playing. I feel like I’m at Kohls with my wife leveraging Kohls Cash to get a fair price for something.

      Here's how some other Oriole prospects have fared in Aberdeen.  Cowser .795 Kjerstad .674 Mayo .821 Henderson .775 Westburg .858 I would say Bradfield is doing pretty well at the moment.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By Safelykept · Posted

      Schedule starts to become conducive to increased attendance. You have Seattle the next 2 games(Sat and Sun), then the next 4 home stands( which brings us to All Star break) are as follows, week of Memorial day Boston and Tampa on the weekend, but with the holiday basically 4 weekend dates. Then Atlanta followed by Philly on the weekend, should be the best week of the year so far. Then a 7 game week of Cleveland with a 4 game weekend series against Texas. Finally The Cubs come to town followed by weekend against the  Yankees. Should be good.

      Are we actually 27-14 with the highest runs/game in the AL?

      It’s a lot of fun to win the division.

      It’s not like Elias and Sig have been reliant solely upon top 5 picks. Wasn’t Westburg 1:30 and Mayo something like a 3rd rounder?  If Bradfield happened to be a pitcher, I would most certainly share your concerns. Because this front office has no track record in drafting and developing pitching, for the most part they haven’t even really tried. But the position players, for now I think they have that covered in spades. Bradfield hasn’t even had a half of a seasons to adjust to professional baseball. Rare is the player like Holliday, who just begins like a whirlwind and doesn’t stop until he gets to the big leagues.  Not that I’m telling you anything that you don’t already know as a long time baseball/Orioles fan, but most of these guys take a little time. Even our younger players on the big club are still growing/improving.

      I agree Hays is fine to spell Mullins while he figures out how to swing a bat again. I also agree that Hays is disproportionately affected by the wall. If he wasn’t so perpetually dinged up, increasingly expensive and average, he would be an excellent trade candidate.

      Rubenstein came down the aisle for our section last night during the game tossing out dozens of hats and talking to the fans as he went. Awesome to have an owner that truly loves this team and enjoys being part of the crowd.
